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 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 Luke Grace of Wesleyan Christian.

We've seen Grace various times with the Trojans, where we stated, 'Calling Grace an x-factor in this contest should be somewhat obvious, especially since he was the biggest player on the court. He worked from the block, finished well around the basket, battled for every possible rebound, and even showed the ability to space the floor. Grace seemed to naturally propel his way to a double-double by demanding so much attention on the glass. In all honesty, his consistency at the free-throw line is one of the main reasons the Trojans were able to secure a victory. He should start attracting college coaches over the next calendar year.' Which was later followed by, 'The chain of events is quite simple: Grace is big and NRCA couldn't match his interior size, which allowed him to get whatever he wanted around the basket. He towered over every opposing defender, displayed touch with either hand, and scored with excellent efficiency. Grace has a sturdy frame and plays very hard, often outworking and overwhelming his assignment. He pursues rebounds, runs the floor with purpose, and embraces his identity as a pretty traditional big man.'

Now, Grace seems like an obvious leadership candidate for this squad, especially after a productive summer with Big Shots Elite. He's a big, sturdy post prospect with quality abilities as a floor-spacing option. Grace can finish effectively around the basket while fighting for rebounds and anchoring the paint defensively. He plays with an active motor, runs the floor hard in transition, and looks to capitalize on scoring opportunities in transition. Given the loss of two key seniors, Grace will be tasked with being a nightly leader and producing on both ends of the floor. He will need to set the tone defensively and on the glass in order for this group to maximize their possible success. It'll be interesting to see how the season unfolds and what programs look to lay groundwork with the stretch-big.
