In this article:
At the conclusion of each tournament, a new recurring article will be the ’GameChangers’ series - sponsored by GameChanger. Prospects included in the GameChangers series will be prospects that really positively impacted games for their team.
Here are some 17U GameChangers from the Hard Work Kick Off:
Muja Burton
Muja
Burton
6'4" | SF
Columbia Heights | 2022
State
MN
-- SF-- Real Phenom
Burton is an unsigned small forward with a lot of potential. He is a super versatile scorer who can get buckets from all three levels. During the high school season, Burton put up impressive scoring numbers on one of the better teams in Minnesota. College coaches looking for a score-first small forward should take a look at Burton.
Jarod Gee -- W-- Chicago Lockdown
When Gee catches the ball on the perimeter, he always has the green light to shoot. Standing at 6-foot-5, Gee is a long, athletic wing that can really put pressure on defenses with his shooting skills. He also is athletic and physical on the defensive end of the court. I expect big things from Gee the rest of this spring.
Matthew Moore
Matthew
Moore
6'7" | PF
Hillcrest | 2023
State
IL
-- SF -- Chicago Lockdown
Moore is just oozing with potential. The small forward stands at 6-foot-9 and he may have been the most athletic player at the Hard Work Region Kickoff. Opposing players and coaches are not going to enjoy matching up against Moore. He is a shot-blocker, dominant rebounder, solid shooter, and aggressive attacker.
Colby Dolphin
Colby
Dolphin
5'10" | PG
Kennedy | 2023
State
IA
-- PG -- Iowa Prep
Dolphin is the embodiment of what a GameChanger really is. Playing point guard for a solid Iowa Prep squad, Dolphin is a high-IQ prospect that always looks to make the right basketball play. He is a fantastic passer, opportunistic slasher, and dead-eye shooter. Dolphin is a prospect that college programs could fall in love with.
Aboubacar Cisse -- F -- Illinois Elite
I really liked what Cisse was able to do at the Hard Work Region Kickoff. Another unsinged senior, the forward is a strong, physical prospect that uses his size to bully opponents in the paint. College coaches should really take a good look at Cisse -- he has a lot of talent and I think he could become a great player at the next level.
Ian Mindrup
Ian
Mindrup
6'3" | PF
Linn-Mar | 2023
State
IA
-- PF -- Iowa Prep
Mindrup is an elite post prospect that uses pure skill to dominate on the block. The power forward has good footwork and the ability to finish with either hand. He is also a really good rebounder that isn’t afraid to sacrifice his body and fight for boards. Mindrup raised his stock this weekend and I expect it to keep on going up.
