Zaid Dajani, 6’0, G, 2022, Olathe Northwest @ZaidDajani2
Spent the offseason running with Team Rush, Dajani has terrific speed and always seems to be playing a notch faster than you’d expect. He looks to pass and gets up the floor and finds his sweet spots from distance. Dajani can handle the ball and also looks to shoot.
Sam Derning, 6’3, G, 2021, Shawnee Mission West
An underrated player for Shawnee Mission West who impressed this summer at camps tournaments alike. He has a strong, muscular frame and can get to the basket and score. He’s at his best when he is rolling the dice and looking to score but he is an unselfish player and a smart and tactical defender both inside the paint and out.
Ben Gutekunst, 6’0, G, 2021, Olathe Northwest
Gutekunst has a nice feel for the point position and is great at creating plays for himself and getting others an open look. He has a nice bounce to his game and can score well inside and connects as a perimeter shooter, but he is a good creator with good floor vision. A smart passer with a good eye.
Quinten Mason, 6’0, G, 2021, Olathe North
A knock down shooter, capable of finding his stroke and putting up big numbers.He plays well off the ball and finds creases in the defense to get open, but can also handle the ball a little as well. He adds athleticism and understanding to his team, a confident player who knows his game and brings it game after game.
