LAWRENCE, Kan. — The annual KC Classic saw some of the top grassroots teams from around the state of Kansas, Kansas City and the region meet at the Kansas Pavilion in Lawrence and the event drew several top performers.
Here, Prep Hoops takes a look at several players who raised their profile in the 16U division.
5-Parker Stone, 6’1, 2021, Perry LeCompton, Kansas Cagers
A smart guard who great instincts to drive, cut and play hard when nobody is looking. He is a solid creator with the ball and gets openings for himself and his teammates. He puts his shoulder down and finds room to get to the basket and score. Also a solid shooter from distance.
24-Mason Thomas, 6’3, 2022, Royal Valley, Kansas Hoggs 16U
A freshman standout with good body control and the ability to score. He plays defense first, and does so as hard and as physical as he can. He is good at boxing out and can handle pressure down low and keep his opponent out of the way.
23-Earnest Wash NLHA 16 HAYS
A muscular guard who can handle defensive pressure and still deliver smart passes and be counted on to get clean offensive looks. His game is at its best when he’s jumping passing lanes and going to the other end to either get two points or head to the free throw line.
2-Zachary Wittenberg, 6’2, 2021, El Dorado, NLHA 16 HAYS
An off the ball player who defends and gets to the basket. He passes a lot and doesn’t look to score often. He plays great defense on the left side of the floor and he can pin opponents on the baseline and cause them to throw the ball away.
