<p>Prep Hoops Missouri continues its series of available prospects in the Class of 2020 with the first wave of unsigned wing players.</p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="580373" first="Dylan" last="Branson"] 6’5" Mehlville: The bullish wing player has the capacity to play any position from point guard to power forward with his size, skill set and high basketball IQ. He uses his 210-pound frame to play bully-ball on his way to the basket against smaller guards or to get into the low post. His is also a solid perimeter shooter with a nice mid-range shot. His best attribute is his passing as he averaged more than five assists a game to go along with his 15 points and six rebounds. At the next level, he is an ideal "glue-guy" with the ability to produce numbers. Several Division I schools are starting to show some late interest. An ideal player to have on a winning team.</p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="580381" first="Coban" last="Porter"] 6’5" Father Tolton: An excellent, fundamentally sound guard who had his season cut short with a knee injury, which probably cost Tolton a possible Final Four run. He was a valuable member of MoKan Elite's 17U Peach Jam championship team during the summer and that carried over into the high school season, where he provided perimeter scoring, ball handling and overall leadership. He can shoot it from deep, but he can also create off the dribble and facilitate.</p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="822873" first="Matteus" last="Case"] 6’5" Chaminade: The Canadian import was a big factor in helping the Red Devils earn a Final Four berth in the Class 5 state tournament. He is a smooth performer with excellent size and the ability to handle the ball, pass it and shoot it from the perimeter. He did a nice job of blending in his talents with a group of talented players who were already in place when he showed up last season. He can also attack the basket and showcase his athleticism at the rim. He recently picked up an offer from Ivy League school Penn.</p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="822859" first="Devon" last="Barshow"] 6’6" McCluer: A slim and athletic wing player who is still coming into his own as a player after growing several inches during the course of his career. He was about 5’11 when he entered high school as his game has blossomed with his growing stature. He has a nice looking jumper with the potential to be a three-level scorer. He averaged 14.7 points and 5.5 rebounds as a senior in leading the Comets to a conference championship. He has a few Division I and II programs looking as well as some junior college programs, where he could go to get a little more seasoning.</p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="610646" first="Nate" last="Garrett"] 6’6" Hazelwood Central: A smooth shooting guard with good size and above average athletic ability. He didn't put up big numbers this season on a team with multiple scoring options, but he has the ability to generate buckets by attacking the basket or knocking down 3-pointers from the wing. As a youngster, he was more of a slashing guard who could defend. Now, his overall offensive game has continued to evolve during his career.</p>
