In addition to seeing individual stars at the event, there are matchups that fans, coaches, and scouts would like to see as well. Let’s take a look at a few of those.
Mathew Coffey Mathew Coffey 6'8" | C Detroit King | 2022 State MI (2022, PF, Mt. Clemens) vs. Gabe Newhof Gabe Newhof 6'8" | PF Unity Christian | 2022 State MI (2022, PF, Tri-Unity Christian)
This would be a great battle in the paint. These 2 post players have been getting some much deserved attention from college coaches as of late. Coffey’s game has expanded this summer while Newhof has been using his height and strength to be a weapon on the defensive end of the floor.
Sonny Wilson Sonny Wilson 6'0" | PG UD Jesuit | 2023 State #189 Nation MI (2023, PG, UD Jesuit) vs. John Blackwell John Blackwell 6'3" | CG Brother Rice | 2023 State #185 Nation MI (2023, CG, Brother Rice)
These are 2 of the most skilled perimeter players in the state. Both are top notch scorers that can both create buckets on their own as well as score within the flow of the offense. Let’s face it, this could be a great college matchup in a few years, so who wouldn’t want to see it right now?
Gio Lufty (2024, SG, Lutheran North) vs. Brayden White Brayden White 6'3" | SG Woodhaven | 2024 State MI (2024, SG, Woodhaven)
These 2 guards are going to play big roles in high school basketball over the coming years. Both are plus shooters that must be accounted for at all times. Lufty and White can both keep the scoreboard moving and it’d be interesting to see how they would match up.
Kareem Rozier Kareem Rozier 5'9" | PG Orchard Lake St. Mary's | 2022 State MI (2022, PG, Orchard Lake St. Mary’s) vs. Chansey Willis Chansey Willis 6'2" | PG Detroit King | 2022 State MI (2022, PG, Detroit King)
This would be a matchup between a couple of the top floor generals in the state of Michigan. Rozier and Willis are 2 of the hardest working facilitators you can find in this state. The feature of this matchup would be the elite on ball defense that each player brings to the table.
