These two teams opened up a fast-paced polarizing style of play. Little Elm’s strength came from their deep roster of guards while Rockwall Heath’s glut of forwards. Heath plays a slower more methodical game opposed to the Lobos. All in all, there were some strong prospects on the floor let’s take a look at them.
Little Elm’s backcourt of senior Keith Smith and sophomore Ibrahima Diallo combined to pick apart a 2-3 zone.
Smith is a 6-4 combo guard with a tight handle. The high volume three-pointer shooter made his opponent pay from deep connecting on 3 of his 7 attempts. His coach even has the confidence to use him as a pressure release valve when teams full court press.
Diallo had an up and down outing but showed some promise as a lead guard. On offense, he never looks sped up and ran the offense well. The quick guard got into the paint whenever he decides to put his head down and make a move.
Little Elm’s Isaac Berry was a spark plug off the bench. He didn’t need the ball in his hands but affected the game with his hustle. The team needed a rebound he was there; the team needed a steal he was in the mix. Berry even converted a drive to the basket and three of his own to show off the type of potential the sophomore has.
For Rockwall Heath Kameron Pruitt, Skyler Stutts, and Chandler Dickinson showed their skill games.
Pruitt continued his inside out game making threes and punishing at the block. He understands how to attack defenses from the perimeter with all the skills needed to operate in the mid-range.
Stutts is a forward with perimeter size who uses his frame to play 1-3. He’s a tough competitor who will pair with any backcourt as he knocks down catch and shoot opportunities or goes head to head with others.
Dickinson is a load to cover for any defender. Standing around 6-6, he’s built like a power forward but has guard skills. His off the bounce game is great for someone his size. He has a tight handle and surveys the floor to make the best play for his team. On the block Dickinson is smooth he relies on finesse over strength.
