#5 Landon McClure Raleigh NC Northside High 2018
McClure gives you maximum effort every time he on the floor. This kid is a complete competitor. If I was going to war this is the player that I got to have! Player uses his body well for good positioning when rebounding the ball. I thought this player exceled on the defensive end of the floor. Coach Murphy on Landon McClure: “Landon plays hard and competes on both ends on the floor. Uses his body well for the position. Needs to work on his ball handling and extend his range”. The next steps in McClure development is to work on his ball handling and extend his range on the offense side of the floor. Landon will be in his junior year at Northside High.
#88 Mikolaj Stankiewicz 6’0 Rabun Gap GA Rabun Gap High 2019
This player gets it on defense. Stankiewicz best skill is his ability to play defense on the ball. He was able to turn the player he as guarding and force them in to some turnover. He makes it hard for the other team’s point guard run their team sets. On offense he is very aggressive. When left open he made defenses pay by knocking down open shots. The next step his development will be rebounding his position and moving with-out the ball. On defense he needs to work on his defense off the ball getting in the lanes to stop opponent’s penetration. Coach Murphy on Mikolaj Stankiewicz: “Mikolaj is a tough defender. Takes pride in stopping his man. On offense I love his aggressiveness. He good at knocking down open shots.” Will be looking forward to seeing this kid’s development.
