Pangos Rocky Mountain Summit: Day 1 Standouts

<p>The Rocky Mountain Summit got underway today, featuring some of the top players in country. In this article PH takes a look at some of the Day 1 Standouts.</p> <p>Jaden Hasen <em>6’0 PG Idaho Premiere 2021 - (#2PHI 2021)</em> - Tough hard nosed, scrappy defender. Hansen can knock down 3’s when left open, and has better than expected blow by ability. He helped a talented IP team to a easy pool play victory.  </p> <p>Keba Keita <em>6’8 C Empire 2022 (#3PHU 2022)</em> <em>(featured image) </em>- Used his size and frame to dominate. Powerful athlete, with the ability to finish at or above the rim. Has decent hands, was basically a man among boys.</p> <p>DJ Thomas <em>6’0 PG West Coast Elite 2024 (#2PHN 2024)</em> - I underestimated Thomas’s shooting. He showed the ability to knock down 3’s with deep range. Handle is solid, and his IQ was off the charts as always.</p> <p>Bradley Ezewiro <em>6’9 PF Belmont Shores 2021</em> - Ezewiro spent most of the day looking down at the rim. Explosive low post athlete that gets off the ground. He helped Belmont pull away from a game Salt Lake Rebels club in the second half.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="611182" first="Paolo" last="Banchero"] <em>6’10 PF Seattle Rotary 2021 (#1PHW 2021)</em> - The Duke commit was every bit as good as advertised in helping Seattle Rotary to a victory. He has enormously powerful legs, he also has a terrific skill set which includes his perimeter ball skills as well as a dominating low post game.</p> <p>Andrew Piperburgh <em>6’7 PF So Cal Buzz 2021</em> - I thought Pipersburgh played with the best motor on the day. He defended, rebounded and manufactured buckets, helping So Cal Buzz to a victory over Mikey WIlliams and the Border Boyz.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="611186" first="Nolan" last="Hickman"] <em>6’3 PG Seattle Rotary 2021 (#2PHW 2021)</em> - The Kentucky commit played with his usual steady hand. Got anywhere he wanted to with the ball and showed the ability to finish at the rim in a variety of ways.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://twitter.com/7outzbballclub1">Follow Prep Hoops Nevada</a></p>
