love little guard's --usually under recruited -best place to find a diamond in the rough-sometimes you really find a gem (Bryce cotton and chaz Williams..both gem's) I agree but you can not have a bunch of them on a team.

Although the odds are greatly against it, every so often a team hits the jackpot with players such as Clark, Williams or Cotton, but recruiters who gamble with those odds will not last long...He must be a highly superior played to overcome height issues in todays basketball...Good luck with such a search, but chances are great that you will end up with a 4 year situation part time player...
To increase chances with two such type players flirts with team bench strength and disaster.....

JMO, but the time I saw Casimir play, his height didn't seem a problem. While not as athletic as Tavon, he had no shots blocked when going to the baskets, or in shooting a jumper or threes. Seemed to play bigger than 5'8 or 5'9.

Mustapha Traore - 6'7" PF from the Phelps School. Has offers from UMBC, Rider, Fairfield, Maryland Eastern Shore, Hartford, St. Peters, Cal State Bakersfield and North Texas. Gettiong looks from Quinny.
Scouting report from City of Basketball Love site:
"He is a very intriguing, athletic face-up ‘four’ with a lot up upside. Currently, he does a lot of things well on the basketball court. Right now, he’s most dangerous on the defensive end, using his long arms to alter a lot of shots. He’s got above-average hands, and as he continues to work on his footwork he’ll become a better rebounder as well. On offense, he gets a lot of his buckets within 10 feet, though he has shown the ability to pop out and hit a jumper from time to time. He will need to continue to work on his strength and conditioning as he gets to college. He’s getting offers in the MAAC/NEC range, and could see offers from schools in the CAA offering if he can continue to get his motor running higher at all times and get more consistency with his face-up game. –July 15, 2014"
Last year he played with former and current Iona recruits Terry Larrier (VCU) and Quincy McKnight (2015).

Quote from the Providence elite camp : "Aughburns... is a coordinated, big bodied young kid who has a high ceiling. Assertiveness will be the next step for Aughburns."
NERR report from the Rumble in the Bronx: "Brandon Aughburns ....The 2015 big man came off the bench and was a presence on both ends of the floor on Saturday. Aughburns is a good athlete and has a solid motor."
NERR report from Elite 75 Frosh/Soph Event- "Brandon Aughburns – He returned to the scene of the crime after scoring a breakout perfornace at the Elite 75 Frosh/Soph a year ago. Aubhburns continued to excel in his encore, standing out by virtue of his size and strength inside the paint and punishing people around the rim. "
