Devonta Blanton (6’5/WING/OH) has an ideal frame with long
arms and he is a deceptive athlete. The strengths of his game are his approach
and ability to put the ball in the hole. He has a smooth jump shot that extends
out to 18-feet and he is wire to score. In addition, he showed us signs of an
evolving face-up game as he has no issue and in fact likes to work the mid-post
as well as the block and with his size he can be very effective in doing so. He
utilizes the up-fake and jab step to get defenders off balance and his initial
burst is pretty solid as his finishing and ability to absorb contact. Has grown several inches and put on lots of
weight in the past 15-months young man looks to be coming into his own.
Bryce Flatt (6’5/WING/KY) is a basketball player that simply
knows how to play the game. He handles the ball well in transition, is able to
separate from his defender off the dribble, and he can nail jump shots from all
three levels with little needed space. He can snag a rebound and lead the break
and there isn't any wasted motion to his game, he doesn’t try to do too much
and his long arms and length help him navigate in multiple areas. He advances
the ball well in transition and he generally makes good decisions. His jump
shot is solid out to the 3-point stripe and he moves very well without the
ball; and can be run off screens – when hot and in rhythm can really score the
ball, at worst at this size Flatt is a college player who will serve as a glue-type
prospects that help coaches win games. He is a high IQ player who makes sound
decisions and his overall skill set is solid. At best he gains a few inches and
he can be a primary scorer from the edge; think Adam Morrison (Gonzaga). 
Marcus Skeete (6’3/WING/IL) has a solid looking frame with
broad shoulders and long arms. He is a good not great athlete that can get to
the rim off the dribble and he shows craftiness and scorer. He is at his best
in transition where he utilizes his body control to slither through traffic and
his stop and pop off the dribble can be dangerous. He has a floater in his
repertoire and isn’t afraid of contact. Defensively, he slides his feet well
and he has active hands giving him potential as a shot blocker on the strong
and weak side.
Dylan DeBreo (6’4/WING/IN) has long arms, big hands, and
affects the game in multiple ways. He has a knack of finding ways to score
without having plays ran for him and his attacks to the basket is uncanny. He
plays with great energy and with purpose in mind. His savvy for the game is
demonstrated by his passing ability and instincts around the basket. He has
potential as a rebounder at both ends and his timing and attitude is
outstanding.
Nic Smith (6’4/WING/OH) is more of a stretch 4-man who has a
soft shooting touch. He possesses a big body, solid athleticism for that size,
and terrific hands. Finished very well and knows how to put himself in the right
positions to receive passes – this is the strength of his game is his shooting
touch and ability to catch and finish. May end up more of a pick-and-pop/ pick-and-role 4-man; in
addition to his soft shooting touch, he is an determined rebounder. He fills
the lane in transition and shows good mobility as well.
