Top Prospects: Hersey vs Buffalo Grove

<p>Friday night we took in a contest between Buffalo Grove and host Hersey.  The home team took control late as Hersey got the win 63-53.  We dive into the players that left an impression on us in this game in <strong>Top Prospects: Hersey vs Buffalo Grove</strong>!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="995971" first="Ethan" last="Roberts"] (Hersey – 2021)</strong></p> <p>Roberts is a 6’4” wing that has generated buzz throughout the last six months after his play during fall workouts.  He has carried that over into his senior season where he is putting up consistently big numbers.  Wing started the game off against Buffalo Grove by draining a pair of threes including one where he was fouled for an and-1.  As the contest went on Buffalo Grove was clearly not going to let him heat up from the outside so he had to beat them in other ways.  Good passer on long outlets and making crisp passes in the half court.  Late in the game he was super aggressive putting his head down and getting to the rack including a couple crucial buckets in the fourth quarter.  Finished with 19 points.  Low-majors should heavily consider him as a late signee.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1105717" first="Ben" last="Randall"] (Hersey – 2021)</strong></p> <p>Randall is another good sized wing who is listed at 6’6” that rebounds extremely well for his position.  Hit the defensive glass hard all game long and did the little things to help his team win.  Moves well without the ball catching passes on the way to the hoop for layups.  Makes quick passes in the half court that leads to buckets.  He finished with 11 points.  High level small college prospect.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Griffin Ginder (Hersey – 2021)</strong></p> <p>New name here that jumped on our radar.  The 6’3” two guard has nice length and decent athleticism.  Was most effective around the hoop scoring on cuts, put backs, and quick dump offs.  Went for 11 points.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="863588" first="Kam" last="Craft"] (Buffalo Grove – 2022)</strong></p> <p>Craft is a top 10 junior who holds several D1 offers including a couple high-majors.  He is such a fun player to watch when he is rolling like he was on Friday.  Creative ball handler that uses it to create space for his jump shot.  Loves the side step three and spinning shots inside the arc.  Some of the shots he takes and makes are ones that you would not advise most players to take, but he usually gets them to fall.  Slick handles got him to the rim for a coast to coast layup, runner, and a euro step.  He had 27 points in this game along with quite a few rebounds.</p>
