The thing that impresses me most about Moton’s game is simply his versatility. There isn’t much on the basketball court that he can’t do. He handles the ball really well, and looks to get other people involved when he is attacking down hill. On defense, he knows exactly how to use his body to wall off guys from getting into the paint, and is even better at walling off around the goal to protect the rim. His all around game is reminiscent of a smaller version of Draymond Green, and was one of the main contributors this summer for LA Supreme’s 15u squad. He is going to need to take a much larger role on a Woodlawn Shreve team coming off a heartbreaking loss in the state championship.
Chris Hilton 6’3 Zachary
If there is one skill that Hilton currently has that makes him elite, it is his athleticism and leaping ability. He isn’t incredibly tall, but his leaping ability is the great equalizer in his game, and he might be the best dunker of his class so far. Don’t get me wrong, Hilton has some skills to go along with his athleticism. He can knock down mid range pull ups at a fairly high clip, and has all the tools to be a really good defender on the wing. And all of this talk about basketball for him might be for nothing, as he is a stud at wide receiver on the football field.
Ian Cavana 6’3 Catholic
I’ll take the blame for this one, Cavana slipped through the cracks when we were putting together the first list of 2021 rankings, and Cavana should no doubt be ranked, and will most likely be ranked in the top 20 in the next 2021 update. He has nice size for his age, and some skills to go along with that size. He is a really consistent jump shooter from 3, and is able to space the floor for those around him.
John Mitchell 6’3 Woodlawn-Shreve
Mitchell is an interesting prospect to figure out. At 6’3, he has spent most of his time on the basketball court down in the post for his high school team, but for the AAU season, he was put out on the wing a little more and showed that he could handle himself. He was still able to bully smaller wings down in the post, but if the defense puts a slow big on him, Mitchell will drive right by. He still needs to develop a consistent shot from beyond 15 feet, but he has all of the tools to be a really solid wing for a years to come.
Shammah Bryant 6’5 Airline
When I first saw film on Bryant, I thought he was about 6’2, and it was really impressive that he was able to get up and dunk with authority. Now that I know he’s bigger than that, I’ve been really impressed with his ball handling and shooting ability. He has a long frame and moves his feet well for a player his size, and has all of the tools to be a really good defender for years to come.
