EVALUATION OF ASHTON PANKEY'S INDIVIDUAL GAME: Pankey vastly improved as he gained much more playing time this season as a starter for Jack Curran's Stanners. His footwork improved and he started to progress in making nimble moves around the basket.
St. Anthony's plays a big time schedule too so Pankey will be tested every week. And Hurley is among the best teachers in the nation.
