Fall Preview Team Nine Breakdown
We’re coming to the home stretch of our Fall Preview evaluations. Here’s the team nine breakdown as presented by our staff and coaches.
Baker is a great transition player who can get down the floor in a hurry. If you need a guy to shoot a team out of a zone, Baker is going to always be one of the best candidates to do so. He can really light it up from deep.
Boston is a leader. He’s vocal on both ends of the floor and brings all of the intangibles that you could possibly want. He’s the guy coaches wish they could clone. The strong-bodied guard has nice touch around the rim, and he can knock down jumpers from all over the floor. Boston moves well off the ball and always seems to make the right cut at the right time. He’s a guard who shares the ball well and will serve as a nice positional rebounder. - Josh Tec
Dooley is a quick, young guard who competes on both ends of the floor. The freshman utilizes his speed to his advantage as a playmaker on offense and a pest on defense. Dooley had a nice-looking jumper that looks like it will develop into a bonafide weapon throughout his development. - Josh Tec
Scrappy is an apt way of describing Holmes’ game. He’s a guy who plays hard all of the time, and he’s a really good, aggressive defender. Holmes excels at getting his teammates involved via getting to the paint and finding open shooters on the wings.
Slithery and elusive, Jones is a guard who keeps defenders on their heels by changing speeds and with nifty ball handling. After he gets by his man, he has a nice floater and mid-range game to break out against the trees in the post.
At 6-foot-4, King is a versatile sophomore prospect. Right now, I’d say that he’s best utilized around the post, but he can play around the perimeter too. I think that part of his game will further sharpen as he continues to develop it. He’s got nice length and a feel for the game that’s hard to teach. King is a playmaker on both ends of the floor.

Miller is an interesting underclass prospect who used our platform to etch his name in my notebook. He’s and athletic hustle player with nice length. Miller’s motor, athleticism and frame shine on the defensive side of the ball. He’s an instinctual player who has a nose for the ball. Miller is a strong slasher too. - Josh Tec
Sehaye is a true floor general who’s as crafty as they come. He’s got great handles and knows how to use his body to shield the ball in a crowded paint. Sehaye won’t be the biggest guy on the floor, but don’t underestimate him. He’s capable of giving opposing coaches headaches with his ability to dissect defenses.
