[player_tooltip player_id="1046343" first="Latrel" last="Davis"] (2021) |6-3 G| Fargo Davies – He is a long athlete that is good when going to the basket. Latrel is a smooth and gifted finisher around the rim. He seems to glide past defenders and avoid contact when he is attacking. It is a tough task to stop him once he gets going downhill. He dominated early in the game slashing and finished the game putting in buckets in transition. Latrel looks like he has the potential to be an elite defender. He finished with 14 points in the game. 2. [player_tooltip player_id="1115649" first="Zachary" last="Kraft"] (2023) |5-10 G| Grand Forks Red River – He is one of the best up-and-coming guards in North Dakota. I was impressed with his pull-up 3-point jumper going to his left early in the game. Zach is a quick guard with great handles. He is a high-level pure shooter from beyond the arc. He showed off his solid footwork on a spot-up corner three-pointer. Zach can score from other parts of the floor beside the arc. Zach can finish at the rim and he showed that he can make contested runners in traffic. He scored 15 points and three triples in the game. 3.
