(Part 2)
Tyler Little Tyler Little 6'5" | PF Galena | 2023 State KS , 6’6 F, 816 Hoops 2023: The big bodied athlete has held it down in the front court for the really talented 816 2023 squad. A monster rebounder, help side defender, and shot influencer on the defensive end, the big guy is tough to keep off the floor based on the alone. On the offensive end he showed of the face up game off the bounce, rolling off screens, and finishing in the paint at a high level.
Bennett Stirtz Bennett Stirtz 6'4" | CG Liberty | 2022 State MO , 6’3 PG, 816 Hoops 2022: Hard to keep Stirtz out of the coverage whenever he plays because he brings it every game in every event. A highlight of his weekend came in a 16 point, 3 rebound, and 4 assist performance in a win over Team KC. Stirtz has the complete package in the back court and is an ultra effecitve and efficient point guard but can play off the ball as well.
Jinwoo Kim Jinwoo Kim 6'1" | PG Blue Valley Southwest | 2022 State KS , 6’3 G, MoKan 2022: The high motor guard always plays with a chip on his shoulder and will find ways to keep his team in ball games. Battling against a loaded Kingdom Hoops squad, his 19 points helped keep them in the ball game. He does a good job of getting downhill and making life hard on the defense.
Brycen Larue Brycen Larue 6'3" | SG Lee's Summit | 2022 State MO , 6’2 G, Missouri Hawks: Had a really solid weekend scoring the ball for the Hawks. He has some nice length and ability to create separation on drives and finishes well on a variety of moves. Really solid guard who can play both on and off the ball, and this weekend he highlighted that ability well.
