Damien-Leonard

Leonard is a true shooting guard with great size from Greenville, SC. He runs the floor and spots up in transition. In the half court he understands how to space to the open area after feeding the post or by reading a teammates dribble penetration. He can also finish at the rim when ahead of the pack in transition or avoid the charge with a 1 or 2 dribble pull up jumper or floater deep in the lane. Leonard is confident in his shooting stroke especially when he comes off screens. He has pretty good shot preparation and a high release and follows through. He size helps him shoot over smaller defenders. Leonard must add strength and improve his ball handling against intense pressure but every time he shoots the ball it looks to have a chance to go in. Defensively he works to pressure the ball but must have a better understanding on how to pressure the ball without giving up penetration to the lane. Overall excellent young perimeter prospect with his best playing days ahead.

Boggs is an athletic wing with good length out of Greenville, SC. He excels in the press and on the defensive end where he can use his length to get deflections and steals that lead to easy dunks. Brandon is a slasher that had some explosive dunks. He has potential to grow due to his big feet.
