NOEL BROWN | 6’10 C |17U WAWG/FLINT HILL ‘20
One thing that continues to stand out about Noel Brown is his unrelenting effort. Brown has been a constant presence on the boards and moves bodies in the paint. He’s also a good passer from the post.
DEVIN CEASER | 5’11 G | 16U DC PREMIER/RYKEN ‘21
Devin Ceaser was aggressive on both ends of the court this morning. He rebounded his position, exhibited quick reactions to go along with active hands defensively, and pushed it quickly in transition where he was best offensively. Ceaser is explosive and can get downhill in a hurry. He is also a confident perimeter shooter with a quick release.
KINO LILLY | 5’11 G | 16U DC PREMIER/LANDON ‘21
Kino Lilly has a marvelous skill set, and we continue to see him pull new tricks out of the bag. Lilly is extremely efficient and reliable with the ball. This morning he knocked down a handful of threes, but also got downhill and switched hands in traffic mid-air before finishing with his left.
QUADIR PETTAWAY | 6’1 G | 17U WAWG/MILLER ‘21
Quadir Pettaway is renowned for his scoring, but today he demonstrated winning intangibles that are appealing when you consider him as a point guard prospect. Pettaway constantly communicated to his teammates and made sure they were in the right spots defensively. Offensively, he got to his spots and scored from all three levels while also looking to involve others.
ZAAKIR WILLIAMSON | 6’7 F/C | 16U DC PREMIER/ROCK CREEK ‘21
Zaakir Williamson continues to show signs of improvement each time he hits the court. He’s always been adept at defending in the post and utilizing his sturdily built frame to deter opponents. Williamson’s face up game is expanding and he demonstrated the ability to beat his man 1v1. One thing he needs to work on is catching the ball more consistently.
