Expert Analysis
Paul Hernandez | Prep Hoops Scout
Cano is a more traditional lead guard that controls the pace of play, looks to set up his teammates for quality shots, and is effective with the jumper from beyond the arc. Cano had a strong showing at the Invite Showcase, displaying the control of the flow of the game, making good decisions with the ball in his hands, and confidence in his shot off the bounce or the catch. Cano has a tight handle on the ball, keeps the dribble alive to survey the floor, has the court vision to make great finds off the drive and kick pass, to the diver out of the pick and roll action, cross court to the open shooters, to the players in the dunker spot off the slip pass, and up the court off the defensive rebound. Cano has a variety of moves to create off the dribble, using the crossover, wrap-behind, hesitation, and fadeaway to create space from his defender, is effective with the jumper off the bounce from the mid-range to the 3-point line, and has the moves to score around the basket, as well as the strength to absorb contact down the lane and score through traffic. Solid on-ball defender with active hands and good timing to deflect passes, jump passing lanes, and poke the ball out to get out and run in transition.

The 5-foot-11 lead guard controls the flow of the offense, has the skills to make plays for others, as well as create his own shots, and can space the floor from beyond the arc to open up driving lanes to attack. Cano had a strong freshman campaign for the Eagles, as one of the leaders in scoring for Immanuel, and he looked more impressive at the Shootout with increased physicality and play making abilities. Cano has a strong handle on the ball, keeps the dribble alive to probe the defense for holes to attack, has good court vision and decision making to find open teammates off the drive and kick pass, cross court to the open shooters, to the diver out of the pick and roll action, and up the court off the defensive rebound to get ahead of the transition defense. Cano has the moves to create space off the dribble, using the crossover, wrap-behind, hesitation, and fadeaway to get open looks, is accurate with the mid-range jumper off the bounce with body control, and is a creative scorer around the basket, using the up-and-under, euro-step, reverse lay-ups to evade shot blockers, and moves well off the ball to get to his shot spots, where he is efficient with the 3-ball off the catch. Big sophomore season is coming up for Cano and he looks ready to take on the primary lead guard role with the relatively youthful roster.
