Next, we look at a player that has built his foundation on toughness and a well-rounded skillset on offense, Malik Roberson.

Roberson is a capable scorer from all areas and will be even more difficult for opponents with improved shooting consistency. He’s a poised defender and does especially well when guarding the ball. Next in his development process is working on his movement without the ball, as it would open up an abundance of additional scoring opportunities. Coach Dodson on Roberson: “Toughness is a skill and Malik has it, therefore he should continue to build on it. His offensive shot-selection is good—get in the gym to put up a ton of shots to improve confidence and consistency from beyond the arc. He can take his defensive game to a new level with improved communication.” Roberson already has a nice foundation for his age and should continue to sharpen his two-way tools to prepare for the upcoming high school season.

With length and athleticism, Traymond should be more active on the glass. He’ll be intriguing as he develops a mid-post game.” Willis-Shaw brings a lot of excitement to the game and has ample time to continue elevating his approach on both sides of the ball.
