2021 HOOPtalk Fall Showcase Team Breakdown, Pt. 5

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>TEAM 5 BREAKDOWN</strong></span></p> [caption id="attachment_1340682" align="alignleft" width="187"]<a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/12/Screen-Shot-2021-12-04-at-2.04.21-PM.png"><img class=" wp-image-1340682" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/12/Screen-Shot-2021-12-04-at-2.04.21-PM-238x300.png" alt="" width="187" height="236" /></a> Photo: Andre Waymond, 2127 Media[/caption] <p><strong>6’1 SG Henry Hughes | Ridgefield HS 2022</strong></p> <p>Hughes can do a little bit of everything. He’s at his best when he plays downhill. He can finish through contact and stop short for a middy pull-up when needed. Capable spot-up shooter. He didn’t have the best shooting performance at the event, but he still made positive plays for his team. In the 1v1 portion, he showed that he can be a solid defender as well.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> [caption id="attachment_1340683" align="alignleft" width="187"]<a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/12/Screen-Shot-2021-12-04-at-2.04.10-PM.png"><img class=" wp-image-1340683" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/12/Screen-Shot-2021-12-04-at-2.04.10-PM-238x300.png" alt="" width="187" height="236" /></a> Photo: Andre Waymond, 2127 Media[/caption] <p><strong>6’0 PG [player_tooltip player_id="923111" first="Miles" last="Gurske"] | Timberline HS 2023</strong></p> <p>Easily one of the top PG prospects in all of WA for his class. On Saturday, Miles showcased his ability to be a playmaker and scorer. He controlled the tempo and got his teammate’s easy looks. When he got in the paint, he played off two feet and converted multiple finishes through contact. He’s strong with the ball and doesn’t get knocked off his path easily. Good spot-up shooter from deep. Look for a big season from Miles as he suits up for a loaded Timberline squad.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> [caption id="attachment_1340684" align="alignleft" width="187"]<a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/12/Screen-Shot-2021-12-04-at-2.04.31-PM.png"><img class=" wp-image-1340684" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/12/Screen-Shot-2021-12-04-at-2.04.31-PM-238x300.png" alt="" width="187" height="236" /></a> Photo: Andre Waymond, 2127 Media[/caption] <p><strong>6’2 SG [player_tooltip player_id="1139966" first="Tyler" last="No"] | Timberline HS 2022</strong></p> <p>Tyler was the most vocal player at the event on Saturday. Tyler has a very mature game and he knows how to play basketball. He showed a good understanding of when to attack closeouts off kick-outs and when to quickly pass to keep the offense flowing. He plays at a good pace and got to his spots in the midrange. He didn’t shoot many but he’s a capable 3pt shooter with his feet set. Tyler is the type of player that impacts the culture of a program with his competitiveness and will to win.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> [caption id="attachment_1340685" align="alignleft" width="187"]<a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/12/Screen-Shot-2021-12-04-at-2.04.52-PM.png"><img class=" wp-image-1340685" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/12/Screen-Shot-2021-12-04-at-2.04.52-PM-238x300.png" alt="" width="187" height="236" /></a> Photo: Andre Waymond, 2127 Media[/caption] <p><strong>5’7 G Landon Irwin | TBD 2026</strong></p> <p><span class="Apple-converted-space">The only non-high school player at the event. Landon did a good job of competing and not backing down from the older guys. Although he didn’t score much, he showed his skill set and that he has a lot of potential. </span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> [caption id="attachment_1340686" align="alignleft" width="187"]<a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/12/Screen-Shot-2021-12-04-at-2.04.00-PM.png"><img class=" wp-image-1340686" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/12/Screen-Shot-2021-12-04-at-2.04.00-PM-238x300.png" alt="" width="187" height="236" /></a> Photo: Andre Waymond, 2127 Media[/caption] <p><strong>6’7 F Jaxson Filler | Skyview HS 2024</strong></p> <p>Jaxson has a ton of upside. The lefty forward can play inside and outside. He didn’t make a ton of jumpers, but his mechanics are smooth and he’s comfortable taking them. He ran the floor hard in transition and got some layups. He also showed good footwork in the post and scoring ability over the right shoulder. He’s definitely a prospect to keep an eye on in the 2024 class.</p>
