Danville
Alec Burton | 2018 | 6’6 PF
Burton will handle pretty much any team down low as we saw in this one. Burton is a really strong forward that likes to bang around and be aggressive down low. He can score a bit too. Burton finished with 16 points to lead his team and was a big post presence.
Sam Comer | 2020 | 6’4 SG
Comer is one of the two really good sophomores Danville has. He attacks the basket pretty well and can hit the outside shot at a pretty good clip. Comer is well-rounded and he can do lots of things that others really can’t do great.
Dillon Ware | 2020 | 6’6 PF
Ware really impressed me. Didn’t play much last year but is now starting as a stretch four man who can shoot it a little and play really good defense. Ware rebounds the heck out of the ball and had seven in this one.
Austin Cowart | 2018 | 6’3 PG
Cowart is a tall and long lead guard that facilitates the offense really well. He doesn’t make many mistakes and will do a little of everything on the stat sheet. Finished the game with eight points and a few rebounds and assists. Could be a decent college player at a D3.
Attucks
Jamal Harris | 2018 | 6’2 G
Harris played a really good game. He scored 20 points on only 11 shots and had a few assists and steals as well. He now has a better looking outside shot that really seems like it could be much more consistent than in the past. A super athletic guard for Attucks who will be more athletic than anyone he faces.
Harold Bennett | 2019 | 5’11 G
After transferring from Southport, Bennett has really come into his own. He scored 21 points to lead all scorers and showed some really great court vision dishing off four assists while also bringing in four steals. Bennett is a junior who is going to flourish at Attucks.
Derrick Briscoe | 2018 | 6’4 G/F
Briscoe is a tall guard who likes to play on the perimeter but doesn’t really shoot it from deep much. Briscoe drove the ball really from the top of the key and really well in transition getting some easy buckets and also setting his teammates up for some easy ones as well.
