He can find his shot and score several buckets in a row when he’s feeling it. He has good hands and can disrupt plays and the flow of the game at times as a defender. A scorer and facilitator who plays with and without the ball. Najee Williams, 6’2, G, 2021 Blue Springs, Marcus Denmon Elite 16U A nimble player who runs hard and sees time in a variety of positions. He is active in the paint and has good hands and length and can protect the basket at a high level. He can score in transition and has a strong overall frame which helps him absorb contact and finish plays off the glass and around the rim. Cooper Willich, 5’10, G, 2020, Blue Springs Also a football standout, Willich is a good guard who can play physical and go after the ball. He is a solid defender and looks to stay with the ball and can shoot some from a distance as well. He can make good passes and an unselfish player with the ball.
