Curtis is an interesting long-term prospect who initially jumped off the page in the absence of Jaden Johnson Jaden Johnson 6'0" | PG Bishop McNamara | 2023 State MD during DMV Live. He took advantage of his increased opportunities in that game. Curtis is a crafty finisher who rebounds the ball. He is also an accurate lob passer.

Massaquoi already looks like possibly the best player on the court at times. He passes the initial eye test. Massaquoi boasts a strong frame. He gets to his spots off the pull-up. He showcases his toughness here and there with hustle plays like charges. He moves the ball and moves well without the ball. Massaquoi is crafty. He embraces contact and has good body control.
