Notes: You will be hard pressed to find a bigger in-state 16U team than Powerhouse Black. They have very strong interior play with Orozco, Thomas, and Wood. Orozco proved during the high school season that he is relentless rebounder while Wood proved to be an elite shot blocker. Thomas has a lot of potential as he is a high motor lengthy post that is just beginning to scratch the surface. Walter Talley and Jok Jok are two lengthy forwards that have the ability to get out and make plays while running the wing in transition while Rashaad Smith can fill it up from the perimeter. This team’s size and length should cause a lot of issues on the defensive end as they cover a lot of space and have the ability to control the glass.
