Willie Dotson, 5’10, PG, 2020, Lawrence
A standout for Primetime Ballerz over the summer, Dotson plays with passion and brings energy and competitiveness to the floor every game.He is a great leader and sets a tone on both ends of the floor. He can connect from deep and plays with a lot of grit on the defensive side of the ball. An all-around playmaker.
Austin Hashagen, 6’3, F, 2020, Olathe West
A tough wing style player who is extremely tough and physical. He can score well off the glass and gets good opportunities through his movement and activity on both ends of the floor. A fearless player when he attacks the basket and shows a lot of strength and a high IQ.
Ethan Lincoln, 6’2, G, 2020, Free State
An impactful player who had a productive summer as a scorer and ball handler for Grandstand Elite. Lincoln had to play inside more than he’s probably comfortable with turing summer tournaments, but his phyalcity has improved and has looked more decisive and more confident on the floor. Still a solid shooter who can score quickly when he’s feeling it.
John Lindsay, 6’0, G, 2020, Olathe Northwest
An overlooked guard who can connect from distance in the corner 3-point spot. He can handle the ball some and is active and productive as a two way player when he is feeling confident and is playing loose and aggressively. He makes good decisions and looks to pass and get up the floor and connect from a distance.
Peyton Mallory, 5’11, G, 2020, Lawrence
Mallory was an offseason stock riser who showed his flexibility, his offensive creativity and his all-around skill while playing for Grandstand Elite. He is a good passer and overall facilitator and has a good mind for the game and shows unselfish play on the floor as he enjoys getting his teammates the ball. Also a good defensive presence who can press the entire length of the floor.
