G- Jack Steinbach 5’11” Gateway Basketball Club 15U: A tough young point guard from Ladue who was always in the middle of the action. He handled defensive pressure well and could get into the lane and make plays for himself and his teammate. He is a nice 3-point shooter who also had a habit of making big shots when his team needed them.
G- Kyan Evans 5’9″ MoKan 2023: Smooth point guard from Staley who helped lead his team to a bracket championship. He scored a team-high 19 points in the championship game. He is an good ball handler who can knock down shots from 3-point range. As a freshman, he helped Staley to a Final Four of the Class 5 state tournament.
G- Zaide Lowery 6’3″ Missouri Flight 16U: A very athletic wing player from Kickapoo who has explosive leaping ability and a versatile skill set. He played a year up all summer and handled himself very well.
F- Kaeden Stuckey 6’6″ Mission Minded 17U: A talented young forward from Greenwood who did an excellent job while playing up at the 17U level. He has a solid inside game with good scoring ability and a nose to grab rebounds. He will also step out and hit the 15 to 17 foot jumper off the catch.
F- Larry Parker, Jr. 6’4″ Mentality by Michael Watson 16U: A very impressive young power forward from Staley who helped his team to a 16U bracket championship. He is a matchup problem with his physical low post game and driving ability along with his ability to hit perimeter shots off the dribble. Very strong and active.
Sixth Men: Kevin Parker 6’1″ Missouri Flight White 17U: A young shooting guard at Parkview who did a nice job while playing up at the 17U level. He is a knock down shooter from 3-point range who will fill it up if he gets a clean look. He was also a reliable ball handler who kept the ball moving on offense.
Kobi Williams 6’1″ Gateway Basketball Club 15U: An excellent young combo guard from Westminster Christian who played well at both ends of the floor. He has a nice smooth stroke from 3-point range and he can attack on the bounce. His length and athleticism also make him a factor on the defensive end.
