We've seen a lot of players come through our doors over the years, varying in appearance, skill level, and everything in between. We decided to put forth a 'Getting to Know' series on some players who have attended events over the past few years but still remain on the lesser-known side of things. Each of these prospects embody being a student-athlete and getting it done in the classroom as well as on the basketball court, and today's edition will take a closer look at Max Rogers of Asheville Christian.

We've seen Rogers in every possible setting, including our NC Phenom 150 Camp prior to the season, where we stated, 'Next, we look at a player that simply knows how to apply nonstop scoring pressure, regardless of setting or surrounding teammates, Max Rogers. He's a smart, fairly well-rounded guard prospect with a clear team-first approach on both ends of the floor. Rogers is tougher than opponents expect, which translates to quality defensive play and the ability to shoot or score effectively through contact. He can spot-up or reliably create off the dribble, which allows him to work with or without the ball in his hands. Next in his development process is working to become quicker, as it would make him a better penetrating threat. Coach Cozart on Rogers: 'Max is a good shooter that drives the ball to the basket hard. He plays excellent defense and knows how to play well with the team. Max has a very high motor! He played hard on both ends of the floor. He maintained a positive attitude, accepted coaching well, and was a good teammate.' Rogers enjoyed a great two-way showing at camp and should emerge as a strong contributor during the upcoming season for Asheville Christian.'

Consistent and fundamentally-sound basketball has been the calling for Rogers, who looked comfortable meshing and contributing with his new teammates last season at Asheville Christian. He's a calm, steady guard with great instincts as a cutter and spot-up threat. However, Rogers can also effectively create off the dribble and assume more responsibility as necessary. He's a great shooter with range and the ability to hit shots at a pretty high degree of difficulty, both at a standstill and on the move. Rogers is a quality defender, rebounder, and overall complementary player for any team. It's early, but expect Rogers to become a priority for various programs over the next six to eight months.
