Below we will take a closer look at the midwest players who took part in the event and breakdown their performances and overall game.
Aidan Shaw Aidan Shaw 6'7" | SF Blue Valley | 2022 State #40 Nation KS , Blue Valley (KS) – Shaw showed that he continues to evolve as a wing player by displaying improved confidence and consistency as a three-point shooter and improving his ball skills to the point where he can create for himself off the bounce. The 6-foot-7 junior forward made a name for himself as a high flying, high motor forward who attacked the basket with reckless abandon, and while he continues to do that at a high level, he’s an intriguing 3/4 prospect at the next level.
Pierre Brooks Pierre Brooks 6'5" | SG Detroit Douglass | 2021 State #76 Nation MI , Douglas (MI) – The strong, physical wing is a difficult cover in transition as his combination of strength, speed and vertical athleticism allows him to bully his way through defenders and to the rim for power finishes. The Michigan State-commit has a smooth pull up jumper off of one and two dribbles and great feel when creating shots for himself off the dribble.
Chet Holmgren Chet Holmgren 7'0" | C Minnehaha Academy | 2021 State #1 Nation MN , Minnehaha (MN) – There’s nothing that can be written here that hasn’t been said already about Holmgren, who is the consensus top prospect in the 2021 class. The 7-footer makes an impact in every stat category because of his size, versatility, ball skills, shooting ability and, of course, his defensive prowess. Holmgren put up a handful of triple-doubles – points, rebounds and blocks – and has the uncanny ability to control the pace and outcome of a game with his rim protecting ability.
Hercy Miller Hercy Miller 6'3" | PG Minnehaha Academy | 2021 State MN , Minnehaha (MN) – The SoCal-native, who spent time at Oaks Christian before transferring to Minnehaha, had his vast improvements on display throughout this event. Miller, a 6-foot-3 combo guard, has great scoring feel in isolation and transition situations. His ball skills combined with his quick-twich athleticism allows him to break defenders down off the dribble and get into the paint where he can finish or draw the help defender and toss a lob pass to an open teammate.
