Alexander Morales '20 Recruiting Profile

i feel like i'm a good candidate for any coach / recruiter because i know i will not let them down and i am a quick learner to when learning new drills and fundamentals. Also , i will never give up and i put all my effort when trying to get better because i have a huge passion for the game of basketball. 

Im a 5’11 slashing playmaker , but I can also shoot when needed to. My basketball IQ and vision is college level and I can read the defenses and see the floor with ease . I can create space not only for myself but for my teammates as well. I can control the ball under pressure and break full court presses easily. My passing is unbelievably good and I can always drive in to either finish or kick it out to an open teammate for a 3. I’m a strong finisher when I get to the rim and i never let height or how built someone is stop me. I will go into someone that’s 6’5 with a built figure and still finish on him. My midrange game is also deadly but I need to improve my 3 point shooting as it isn’t as efficient as it will be soon.

What separates me from different recruits is that I love to play defense. I play hard on defense just like I do offense and I hustle for every ball that is available so that my team can get the ball back. Defense is my best attribute as I can play defense on whoever and whenever needed. When I get assigned to the best player on the other team, I study his moves and his body movement as I guard him so that I can shut him down. I usually am very good at this as when a defensive stop is needed, I can provide it no matter how good the player I am guarding can possibly be. I’m still going to shut him down no matter what.

What I love to do on my free time is watch college basketball and study their game and how they work . I feel like I can compare my game to Collin Sexton because of his ability to explode to the basket and finish hard off of contact . I also can create space for my teammates to get open and I love getting my team involved for a win.
