Why do you think that is? Not a flashy style of play? 

I think it's because every single kid getting minutes at Montverde seems to play high major basketball, so there's a bit of over-saturation for kids that aren't Cade Cunningham, Ben Simmons, etc. They kind of get lost in the shuffle.

That’s part of it. Also not a flashy—social media heavy personality.

I think its Multifold. 
 

1. Like Hova said, Montverde is good and balanced and plays a tough schedule. So individual stats don’t come off as strong.  
 

2. Lander and to some extent Tamar Bates have lessened our expectations of recent 5 star guards on what they can do early.  (Part true, partly not)

My expectations for him and Bates are very high for next season.  We will need them to be really good.

Which is fascinating. When they started recruiting him everything about JHS screamed bright lights/heavy exposure. Montverde was his 3rd school. He talked  about wanting the biggest offers he could get. There were intimations that he had a handler. Didn’t want him. And now he couldn’t be less like that. So, either he really matured, his Mom had some sort of epiphany, or it was all just smoke and he was never like that. Regardless, he seems like nothing but a good kid and good teammate. Glad to have him.

I am luvin' all the mentions we're getting in this Montverde game.

Watching the game and I noticed the PU commit, Gibbs-Lawhorn, is playing for Monteverde. That kid was at Utah High School earlier this year. As a high school junior, he's on his 3rd school.

Is it just me or do Jalen Hood-Schifino and Malik Reneau really have really  good chemistry in this game.

MVA vs IMG tipoff in 20 min.  Teams have played twice this season with IMG winning both times.

Montverde really struggles to end the 3rd.

Why do players shy away from contact to make layups way more difficult?!
