Dontrell Johnson LV Timberwolves 2022 – Johnson is an intriguing prospect. The rangy 6”2 wing has a solid handle and possess an array of advanced finishes around the rim. Off hand finish… check. Off the wrong foot…check. Euro into a reverse… check. He’s at his best when playing downhill in transition, however he showed patience and a high level of skill in the half court. A willing passer that’s comfortable making the next pass, or setting up his teammates. Johnson averaged 16ppg on Saturday.
Lorenzo Moore LV Timberwolves 2022 – Moore scored around the rim and protected the paint. He showed the ability to rebound out of his area and is versatile enough to guard multiple positions. He has decent hands, good feet, and patience in the post.
Robert Sherman Team Swoosh 2020 – Sherman is a shooter supreme. He doesn’t need a ton of time or space to get his shot off. He’s crafty and has a high IQ. Sherman used pump fakes and pass fakes to keep longer more athletic defenders off balance. He finished with 21 points in a high level game against the LV Timberwolves.
Joseph Summers Jam on it 2021 – Summers displayed a tight handle and a textbook jump shot. Perhaps his best trait is his willingness to do whatever it takes to help his team win. While he didn’t shoot the ball particularly well, he finished with 29 in a gritty win against the California Thundercats.
Kaden Koenig Jam on it 2022 – Koenig was one of the best rebounders on day 1 grabbing both in and out of area boards in helping Jam on it to a 75 – 66 victory over the California Thundercats.
