The Week Four Grind Session Player of the Week is none other than five-star Trinity International senior Daishen Nix. Nix, a 6-foot-5 true point guard heading to UCLA, put together an impressive week, scoring 65 total points to go along with 11 rebounds and ten assists. Check out the video below to see Nix in action against fellow Grind Session point guard Frankie Collins of Arizona Compass Prep.
Grind Session Under the Radar Player of the Week: Emmanuel Maldonado, Prodigy Prep (FL)
The 6-foot-3, class of 2021 shooting guard currently holds one scholarship offer from Bethune-Cookman, but after his Week Four effort at The Grind Session, that could soon change. Maldonado broke the Marshall County Hoopfest record for most triples made, hitting 10 three-pointers. He finished off his week 61 total points.
