5’7 ’22 Jesse Muncy (Tolsia) The tone-setting leadership of Muncy, an undersized but crafty, decisive point guard prospect largely controlled the opening contest. He handles the ball with poise, consistently looks to make the best available play, and asserts himself regularly as a penetrator or three-point threat.

2020 6’9 Obinna Anochili-Killen (Chapmanville): What do you not like about Obinna!  His offensive game is tough to defend due to his mobility and ability to handle/put it on the floor.  He has good footwork and runs the floor really well, usually beating his opponents down the floor.  O the defensive end, Obinna has fantastic timing as a shot blocker, altering shots left and right...
