<p>The 250 Expo KC brought together some of the best players across Kansas and Missouri, giving them a chance to keep their skills sharp for the upcoming season.</p>
<p>Great rebounders come in all shapes and sizes. The Expo had a bunch of them. But these five guys were some of the best board men at the event (in alphabetical order):</p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="1076409" first="Kurtis" last="Beck"], Team 5, 6-foot-4 forward, 2022, Nemaha Central:</p>
<p>Beck is a long, lean athlete who looks for ways to affect the game without scoring. He can slither through the lane to find position, and gets off the floor quickly. He was really good at pulling down misses and pushing them the other way quickly.</p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="1172998" first="Tate" last="Brown"], Team 12, 6-foot-1 guard, 2022, Manhattan:</p>
<p>Brown demonstrated that it isn’t just bigs who can affect the game by rebounding. He’s a strong and powerfully built guard who can muscle his way into position. He can jump and plays with aggression to go after the ball.</p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="1300814" first="Caleb" last="Hardin"], Team 4, 5-foot-10 guard, 2024, Blue Valley Northwest:</p>
<p>Hardin was a presence on the glass for a small player. He’s a scrappy guard who has his hands on the ball constantly. He’s a quick athlete who can chase down a ball in the open court, or outjump an opponent for a ball in the air.</p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="1075926" first="Jayson" last="Luse"], Team 9, 6-foot-5 forward, 2022, Olathe West:</p>
<p>Luse did a lot of things well at the Expo, and rebound was certainly one of them. He’s got length, power, and explosiveness. He plays relentlessness and goes after every ball like it’s his.</p>
<p>[player_tooltip player_id="1146284" first="Bryson" last="Perez"], Team 2, 6-foot-4 forward, 2023, Wichita Trinity:</p>
<p>Perez is so long and athletic, he is a real presence on the glass. He can get off the floor and high point the ball in traffic. He is adept at grabbing a board and turning it quickly up court.</p>
