JAYDEN HIBBITT | JP ’19
Hibbitt was the best prospect and player on the floor in this game. He stood out as a confident mid range shooter who can also knock down spot up threes. Hibbitt thrived in transition, worked hard on the glass, and finished with athleticism at the rim.
CORETEZ LEWIS | JP ’20
Lewis got off to a strong start offensively, and did not slow down at all as the game went on. He is a fundamentally sound wing who can slash to the basket, seeks contact on his drives, and can finish in traffic with either hand. Lewis displayed good body control when scoring around the rim, and looked comfortable knocking down spot up threes.
JARED PERRY | JP ’19
Perry was the X-factor for his team. He played solid defense, hit the boards, and was aggressive in finding scoring opportunities for both himself and others. Perry was efficient with the ball and did not force any action.
KALEB TORRENCE | WAKEFIELD ’20
Torrence is a quick primary ball handler who can knock down spot up jumpers, but also uses a floater that can be effective in the middle of the floor. He did not have his best shooting night from the field (6/19 FG, 3/8 3FG), but made up for it by knocking down 11 of 12 from the charity stripe. Torrence committed five turnovers to just 2 assists, but had three steals.
MARCEL WHITE | WAKEFIELD ’19
White was an absolute beast on the defensive boards. The 6-foot-5 senior was often seen using his long arms to pull down rebounds in traffic, and was efficient with the ball. White hit 9 of 12 free throws and 1 of 2 from three on his way to another double-double.
