Location: Chick-fil-A Classic (Columbia, S.C.)
Newman played the role of a combo-guard this weekend. He showed strength and ball skill. He finished at the rim effectively, however he could find a rhythm scoring eight points on 3-7 shooting. He added 7 rebounds in a win over Gray Collegiate Academy.

Newman has quick rise off of the floor from the off guard position. The left-hand dominant wing didn’t showcase an elite specialty in this setting. Classmate Keldon Johnson was able to get downhill on a couple of occasions against Newman.

Newman is a left handed wing with length and bounce. He did a nice job of moving the ball on the wing and also hitting the open shot. His long arms lend itself to be a great defender.
