Expert Analysis
Scott Burgess | Prep Hoops Scout
Newman is a 6’5” big bodied post that rebounds extremely well in his area. Got on the offensive glass for multiple put backs. Offensively he displayed touch and feel around the hoop scoring on post touches. Good overall skill set as he stretched for a three along with having a sweet hook shot in the post.

Active on the glass and reliable as a ball-screener, showing patience and poise for a young prospect. Finished through contact in the paint, using head fakes effectively and soft touch with either hand. Also displayed awareness as a screener up high and the ability to kick out strong passes from the block.

Read EvaluationJoshua Burish | Prep Hoops Scout
The Deerfield freshman impressed with the calmness and awareness he brought to the showcase. He displayed strong rebounding instincts, securing boards and keeping them away from steals — always showing a nose for the ball. His screening was another asset, as Newman set wide, firm picks that freed up teammates. Offensively, he showed the strength to finish through contact in the paint and the patience to read defenses in the post before making the right decision. His maturity and fundamentals already give him a reliable foundation to build on.
