He gets to the bucket and finishes through contact at a high level, using his solid frame to absorb contact and score. He also impressed with his rebounding on both ends of the floor.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/09/Simarion-Anderson-crop-4852x3186-1632360771.jpeg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1289727 alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/09/Simarion-Anderson-crop-4852x3186-1632360771-300x197.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /></a><strong>Simarion Anderson (Waterloo West)</strong></p> <p>An athletic 6-2 wing with length, Anderson does a great job using that length to impact the game on the defensive end. He blocked a number of shots, both from the helpside and on his own man, and he does a good job moving his feet on that end of the floor. He can knock down shots from the arc, but is at his best when he's playing downhill and attacking the bucket, both in transition and in the halfcourt. He rebounds well on both ends of the floor and is a strong finisher at the rim.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/09/Benno-Cooper-crop-4160x2732-1632360908.jpeg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1289733 alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/09/Benno-Cooper-crop-4160x2732-1632360908-300x197.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /></a><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1288901" first="Benno" last="Cooper"] (Des Moines Lincoln)</strong></p> <p>A solid ball-handler who plays with pace and can finish with either hand around the rim, Cooper stood out with his ability to break down the defense and get into the paint for finishes. He showed a nice floater game that he used to score over bigger defenders, and he can finish through contact around the rim. The release on his shot could probably get sped up a little bit, but his form is solid, keeping his elbow in tight and getting good rotation on his shot. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/09/Padraig-Gallagher-crop-4852x3186-1632360992.jpeg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1289735 alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/09/Padraig-Gallagher-crop-4852x3186-1632360992-300x197.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /></a><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1067659" first="Padraig" last="Gallagher"] (Beckman Catholic)</strong></p> <p>A dynamic pure scoring threat, Gallagher seems to be improving his ball-handling and ability to create his own shot. He has a good frame that absorbs contact around the rim well, and he showed the ability to finish through contact on several occasions throughout his games. He has a pretty stroke from the arc with a smooth, high release, and as he continues to develop his playmaking and shot-creating abilities, he'll be a deadly scorer.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/09/Sam-King-crop-4456x2926-1632361125.jpeg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1289742 alignright" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/09/Sam-King-crop-4456x2926-1632361125-300x197.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="197" /></a><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1167710" first="Sam" last="King"] (Roosevelt)</strong></p> <p>King impressed last season as a scorer for the Roughriders, but his best attribute may actually be his playmaking and passing. He has good size for a primary ball-handler, and he showed tremendous court vision and passing ability through his games. He can get to the rim and either finish or kick out to an open shooter, and he has a solid stroke out to the arc as well.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
