<p>Prep Hoops Missouri takes a look at the prospects on Team No. 8 who were in action on Saturday at the Missouri Basketball Showcase at Francis Howell Central.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/12C429A8-9175-49D8-88D9-F1C3EF520A5B.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1224854" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/12C429A8-9175-49D8-88D9-F1C3EF520A5B-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1070086" first="B.J." last="Ward"] 6’1" Chaminade: The 2023 point guard plays the position in an old school manner and he looked good doing it as he distributed the basketball and had his team running smoothly. His passing was on point and he could get buckets as he picked his spots. He was also a factor defensively with his strength.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><br /> <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/3F563FD7-BEC9-48B6-9AD9-4707520F620D.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1224855" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/3F563FD7-BEC9-48B6-9AD9-4707520F620D-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><br /> [player_tooltip player_id="984951" first="Tony" last="Osburn"] 6’2" Mound City: The 2022 Class 1 standout showcased that 3-point shooting stroke that has enabled him to score more than 2,000 points in three years. He knocked down at least five treys in each game he played in. He is also a resourceful scorer as well as a prolific perimeter shooter.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><br /> <br /> <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/92ACE61C-9A77-4690-B04B-A25DFD04D6FB.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1224856" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/92ACE61C-9A77-4690-B04B-A25DFD04D6FB-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1042410" first="Cameron" last="Williams"] 6’8" Cape Girardeau Central: The 2023 forward was very effective in the post and on the perimeter. He shot the 3-pointer well off the pick and pop, then took his big body into the low post to work out.</p> <p><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/F450FAA6-39BC-4682-8432-0E92B1B34979.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1224857" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/F450FAA6-39BC-4682-8432-0E92B1B34979-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p>J.D. Roberts 6’7" Park Hill South: The long and lanky 2022 forward looked every bit the part of the Stretch 4. He is a pure shooter from 3-point range as he knocked down shots off the pick and pop and in transition. He can also put the ball on the floor and score on a runner and score in the post over smaller defenders.</p> <p><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/50C8ABAA-76A3-4490-91A5-0EC684946BEF.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1224860" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/50C8ABAA-76A3-4490-91A5-0EC684946BEF-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="991575" first="Brycen" last="Larue"] 6’3" Lee’s Summit: The 2022 guard was one of the best finishers at the showcase. Whether it was in the transition game or on slashing drives in the half court offense, he knows how to put the ball in the basket. He’s also a versatile defender and playmaker.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/25868E44-4C2B-4D93-A7E4-2CB3F75A1491.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1224862" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/25868E44-4C2B-4D93-A7E4-2CB3F75A1491-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p>Nassir Binion 6’3" CBC: A 2024 wing player who very impressive with his athleticism and overall activity. Even when he wasn’t commanding the ball, he was productive with his offensive rebounding, defense and constant movement to get himself open. He is also a slashing threat who finishes well at the rim.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/4BC9FAE5-CC04-4911-AC76-9B97CF42A282.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1224954" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/4BC9FAE5-CC04-4911-AC76-9B97CF42A282-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1160661" first="Jobe" last="Bryant"] 5’11 Park Hills Central: The talented 2024 point guard can really pass the ball at an elite level. He had a variety of no look and pocket passes that were on the money. He can also create his own shot and hit the 3-pointer. He’s a very savvy and poised floor leader for a young player.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/C2EFCB64-9FDA-452F-AE68-0AAC2AA2FA6A.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1224863" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/06/C2EFCB64-9FDA-452F-AE68-0AAC2AA2FA6A-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p>Donovan West 6’0" Fort Zumwalt East: The 2024 combo guard looked pretty smooth and confident on the court despite being one of the younger players in the event. In the game I watched, he scored on a nice floater in the lane and then stroked a transition 3-pointer right after that. He handles the ball well and he lets the game come to him.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
