Prep Hoops Missouri continues its spotlight on grassroots team with a look at the Gateway-Knights 16U squad. They have enjoyed a very successful spring portion of the grassroots season with an impressive 28-1 record. <h5>Roster</h5> Jamion Everage 5'8" Marquette: Young guard who brings a lot of speed and quickness to the team at both ends of the floor. Donovan Howard 6'4" Hazelwood Central: A big-bodied forward who brings a physical aspect to the team. He's a strong rebounder who does a good job getting position with his size. Christian Hughes 6'1" Kirkwood: An athletic combo guard who attacks the basket well with an effective pull up jumper. He finishes strong through contact and will throw down a dunk on an unsuspecting defender. [player_tooltip player_id="1269934" first="Brady" last="Kuehl"] 6'6" Parkway West: A nice Stretch 4 who has a very reliable stroke from 3-point range. He can also score on the drive. CJ Lang 5'11" Webster Groves: A nice two-way combo guard who excels defensively with his quick hands. Very good at getting into the lane off the dribble. Jordan Logan 6'6" Vashon: A long and lanky forward who plays with good bounce and activity around the basket. He's a good offensive rebounder with a nice shooting touch inside. Cameron McKenzie 6'9" Vashon: A developing young big who can run the court and protect the rim with his length. [player_tooltip player_id="1167329" first="Javaris" last="Moye"] 6'4" Kirkwood: A smooth wing player who has put together a big spring season. Can slash into the lane on the drive it hit the 3-pointer. Kellen Rhimes 5'10" Kirkwood: Speedy point guard with outstanding quickness who is a blur in the open court. He's very difficult to keep out of the lane with his dribble penetration. Jayden Williams 6'0" Whitfield: Young guard with good quickness and the instincts to consistently being in the right position to make plays. He is a very good finisher in the transition game.
