In The Colony‘s first game of the new year, they trounced Denton by 24 points. The 5A matchup wasn’t as bad as the final score indicates. The first half was the true battle as both got back in the swing of things and these 7 prospects turned it on before everyone else.
Denton’s Austin Jackson is an unassuming off guard and that’s where he has you beat. Jackson has the height and shooting to be a lower level college sniper. Against The Colony, he connected for three deep shots against tight defense.
This combo guard gives what you’re where ever you place him. 5-11 with long arms Cameron Stevenson gives you a three-dimensional scoring punch while giving teammates a good look. His handle allows him to attack pressure and get to the where he finishes with floaters. He plays with a lot of emotion, an intangible the best of the best use to their advantage. Stevenson is a streaky shooter from deep as he’s shooting around 33% on the year.
Louden Peterson showed a nice skill set at guard in the limited time he played. He’s quick with a tight handle. He shredded a double team attempt on his way to dish an assist.
Sean Mathieu gives it his all on every possession. His first step usually allows him to create enough space for his great off the bounce game. He connected on four pull up jumpers: two pick and roll threes and two shots at the elbow. He separates himself with quickness and before you know he’s hoisting a floater over your big.
Sophomore Grayson Ryan is someone to keep your eye on. Ryan’s length stands out the minutes he graces the court. It’s a game-changer on the defensive end allowing him to affect ball handlers without having plus athleticism. Then you see his smooth, quick release that fell short on the night but normally connects at a high rate. It seals the packaging when you key in on how his passing advances the flow of the offense.
Tay Mosher is a known commodity in the class 2021. The wing has elite size and a deadly jumper from three, Mosher, continues to advance his game off the dribble. There’s more
herky-jerky in his game this year and his playmaking is coming along. When you combine that with a guy who hunts charges, we’re looking at another high major/mid-major 3 and D wing.
The Colorado football commit Keith Miller is a paint bully. Listed at 6-3 200 pounds Miller is their best and most versatile defender. When he’s not using that D-1 football body to punish people he’s swinging bullet passes on the break.
