Top Players
Hank Kraft (2022) |5-8 G|
Last season stats: 14.5 ppg, 5.1rpg. He is a very explosive player that attacks the paint and rim. Hank gets to the cup often and he finishes well at the basket. Kraft is becoming a better shooter from the perimeter. On the defensive side, Hank is very quick to the ball and he makes good reads. Look for Kraft to have a big season for the Panthers.
Chazz Gabe (2022) |6-2 G|
Last season stats: 13 ppg, 6.7rpg. He is very good at attacking and putting pressure on the defense. Chazz is also an excellent shooter. On defense, his length allows him to get into passing lanes and force TO’s. Gabe also does well rebounding the basketball. Keep track of Chazz, he is going to have a great senior year.
