David Barns Showcase: Michigan vs. Michigan State Standouts

<p>The David Barns Showcase has become a premier event in the state of Michigan. The Michigan vs. Michigan State game was a classic early in the day contest at the event that featured some real next level talent. Let’s take a look at the performances of 5 prospects that stood out to me in this game. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1170692" first="Trenton" last="Boike"] (2023, PG, Genesee Christian)</strong></p> <p>Boike made his presence felt in this contest at the David Barns Showcase. He was quick and decisive when the ball was in his hands. Boike found open teammates by making high percentage passes with precision. Boike showed his ability to shoot from behind the arc as well. He fired without hesitation and buried multiple triples.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="863931" first="Ethan" last="Dunn"] (2022, C, East Lansing)</strong></p> <p>Dunn was just bigger and stronger than most of the competition. I had him marked for 14 points in the game. He showed nice touch on the ball, especially when putting it off the glass. Dunn should have dominated the glass, and he did just that. He really limited his opponent’s second chance buckets by controlling the defensive boards. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1076038" first="Trey" last="Kolakovich"] (2023, PG, Croswell-Lexington)</strong></p> <p>Kolakovich turned heads on the Prep Hoops Circuit this summer and it’s easy to see why. He’s a 2 way player that makes his team better on both ends. Kolakovich created turnovers with his anticipation and quick hands. On multiple occasions, these turnovers turned into buckets on the other end. He showed the ability to score at multiple levels. Kolakovich played downhill with the ball in his hands which really pressured the D. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1067861" first="Sam" last="Leppien"] (2022, C, Alma)</strong></p> <p>If you’re looking for just game stats, you missed out on Leppien. He, once again, proved that he can match up with elite post players in the state of Michigan. While Dunn had a great game, Leppien did a nice job making it tough on him when they went head to head. It turned into a great matchup in the short time that they squared off. Leppien did a nice job adjusting shots with his verticality and ability to wall up. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1076036" first="Eddison" last="Millington"] (2023, SF, Brighton)</strong></p> <p>Millington was very impressive on Saturday. He was active around the basket and scored attacking the rim. Millington created contact in transition and drew a foul when doing so. He also had an aggressive take to the rim for a bucket. Millington showed some versatility and touch in his scoring with a pretty floater for 2.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p>
