Three more seniors of note who stood out at the 2021 HoopSeen Tip-Off

There were a number of class of 2021 players who caught our attention at this year's HoopSeen Tip-Off. With programs from every level and from every corner of the country still looking for talent, we wanted to make sure we had our eyes on the seniors. Here's part II of the best class of 2021 players that our staff saw in action. 

Raph Houssou, Florida PRO 2021 - Houssou is a true point guard that can score in bunches. Houssou fills it up at all levels, and he showed that he has the ability to put a team on his back and will them to victory. While his acumen for putting up points is what draws eyes to him, he also has a knack for creating for teammates. He’s unselfish and loves to share the wealth. Don’t be surprised when Housssou puts together a 20 and 10 outing. He certainly has the ability to do so. - Josh Tec 

David Giddens, PSB Nashville: The energy that the 6-foot-5 wing from Tucker (GA) HS gave to his team was so valuable throughout the event. Giddens was so critical to his team’s success and when a clutch bucket was needed, Giddens wanted to be that guy who took the shot or made the defensive stop. I’ve always thought he was quite undervalued on the recruiting front. A post-graduate year or a great situation at the Division II level could be a perfect place for the productive senior from metro Atlanta. - Jusitn Young

Corey Thomas, BCB - This kid immediately stood out to me as soon as he stepped foot on the court. At 6-foot-9, he towered over every other player. Thomas is not just a big body, but he has the skill to match his. The smoothness of his game and mobility is impressive to watch for his size. He navigates through traffic off the bounce with such ease. He is the type of player to block a shot and hustle to the other end of the floor to get rewarded with an easy lay up. Thomas also showed his ability to knock down the three at a high percentage this weekend. Coaches still looking for 2021 players should give him a look. - Brianna Patton
