<p>We were in attendance for a weekend showcase of still available talent. The roster at this event had current seniors plus juco and preps including some foreign players from Australia and Jamaica. The event was organized by Andre Edwards and Team Underated. Many D2 and D3 coaches were in attendance. Here are some standout performers. <br />
<br />
</p>
<p><strong>Rosean Bryant Knowles. 6”4. 2022 Central Islip</strong></p>
<p><strong>Strengths : </strong>A big body, who commands the inside. He gains position inside and holds it. Outstanding rebounder on both ends of the floor. Nice get for a D3 program.</p>
<p><strong>Improve: </strong>Handling the ball.</p>
<p><strong>J R Ryan. 6”4. 2022. Half Hollow Hills East</strong></p>
<p><strong>Strengths: </strong> Has good size and uses it well. Can rebound and start the break. Good at finishing around the rim. </p>
<p><strong>Improve: </strong>Coming off injuries he is getting back into playing shape and getting the rust off. Can help a D3 program.</p>
<p><strong>Bryce Hamilton 5”11 2022 Half Hollow Hills East</strong></p>
<p><strong>Strengths: </strong>Very quick guard. Can get into the paint. Excellent on the ball defender. A very nice rotation piece for a D 3 program. Displayed a quick side step jumper.</p>
<p><strong>Improve: </strong>More consistent with his perimeter game.</p>
<p><strong>Isaiah Shaw Glen 6”5. 2022 Holy Trinity</strong></p>
<p><strong>Strengths: </strong>Had a nice season and it carried over to this event. He was very impressive. Runs the floor. He was able to score inside with some good positioning. Showed good range in the shooting drills. Excellent rebounder. A good get for a low D2 or D3 program.</p>
<p><strong>Improve: </strong>More explosive at the rim. </p>
<p><strong>Jameer Bozeman 6”2 2022 St Johns Prep</strong></p>
<p><strong>Strengths:</strong> Crafty to the rim. Smooth with the ball. Good lift on his jumper. Plays in the CHSAA where he averaged 10 ppg. Thought he was one of the better players at this event. Competed in the opening drills with more energy then most players and it carried over to his play in the scrimmages. Could be a rotation piece for a D2 program.</p>
<p><strong>Improve: </strong>Sometimes gets in to deep. </p>
<p><strong style="font-size: 1rem; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;">Blake Williams 6”7 2021 Mentioned Grammar Australia</strong></p>
<p><strong>Strengths: </strong> All the way from Australia. Had a good showing. Heard in the halls Molloy College (D2) was interested. Showed the ability to get to the rim create contact and then separate to get off his shot. Also displayed a nice 15 foot step back from the foul line. Definite D2 talent. </p>
<p><strong>Improve: </strong> I think the speed and physicality of the game in the states will be something he will have to get used to. But I feel he will adjust quickly. Nice looking player. </p>
<p><strong>Shy Lucas. 6”3. 2022. Amityville</strong></p>
<p><strong>Strengths: </strong>In the drills and the scrimmages Shy was always in position to make a play. Staying in a good shooters stance with his hands out ready to either pull the trigger or drive it.</p>
<p><strong>Improve: </strong>Can get a little out of control on the break.</p>
