“While he's still on the thin side and will need to focus on the weight room when he gets to college, Iguodala is an elite mover with well above average athleticism. He runs extremely well in transition, he changes directions laterally and he has outstanding length to go along with this 6-foot-7 and growing size,” 247Sports' national basketball director Eric Rossi said in his player evaluation.

Norchad Omier led the way with numbers of 15.7 points, 10.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 1.2 steals per game. He had shooting splits of 55.6% overall and 29% from downtown. VJ Edgecombe came next with 15 points and 5.6 rebounds, Robert O. Wright III put up 11.5 points and 4.2 assists, while Jeremy Roach provided 10 points and 2.1 assists.
