Justin Johannessen, 6-10 225, C, Prep, Bull City Prep
I was impressed with this big man from Canada, who only arrived in Durham about a month ago. I really liked his footwork and his patience in the low post. Justin is from the midwest area of Canada and not from the locations that are more prominent in basketball, such as Toronto and Vancouver.
Julian Savoury, 6-8 215, PF, 2019, Mount Zion Christian, Durham, NC
This bouncy young man from the northeast played really well. He’s all over the boards on both ends of the court and he has a good touch to 16 feet.
Kevin Siakam, 6-9 235, C, 2020, Carolina Basketball Academy
This big man has the strength and size to be a dominant big man at the next level. Kevin is an accomplished rebounder and he plays aggressively on defense. He has touch around the basket, but he needs to develop a couple of go-to moves in the low post.
Moses Ngdock, 6-8 210, PF, 2020, Tennessee Prep
This young man, though a bit thin at this point in his young career, is an effective Big Forward is a very effective rebounder and defender. Moses is also effective on the offensive end of the court. He utilizes one, or two dribbles to attack the basket from the high post effectively for scores and he also shoots it well from 15-16 feet.
Josh Rubio, 6-7 280, C, 2020, Comenius School
This young man has amazing agility for such a big guy. He scores effectively in the low post and he also can step out and hit from the high post. Josh is also a very good passer and he has a good feel for the game. He attacks the boards well on both ends of the court and he moves his feet well when defending the post.
