He is a great slasher and can cut halfway to the basket before he has the ball and then catch and finish with ease. He has good size and athleticism and looks to create offencive opportunities through his defensive effort. Also a nice free throw shooter.</span></p> <p><strong>DaQuan Johnson, 6’0, G, 2020, Parsons</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A smooth guard who can get to the basket against almost any defender. He is great in the moment and uses his steals at the precise moment to give him an edge on the other side. He's been working extremely hard and can rebound and score across the boards. Johnson is constantly improving and looks to shoot when he has the look. </span></p> <p><strong>Mitch Munsen, 6’0, G, 2020, Manhattan</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Munsen has a season game. He is very observant, patient and looks to make smart plays. He has experience and is very tough at the 2-guard position and has the ability to play the point if he needs to. He can stop and pop from mid-range and is good at getting his teammates the ball.</span></p> <p><strong>Vincent Palen, 5’10, G, 2020, Beloit</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A fine shooter from distance who doesn't need a lot of space to get his shot off. He moves off the ball comes off screens looking to connect. He can handle the ball a little bit, and has good footwork to boot. He plays strong and loose. </span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
