<p>Here's a look at the top 15U and 16U performers from Sunday morning's action at the Hard Work Region Kickoff. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>F Jabari Lee, Together As One - Germantown (WI), 2025</strong></p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/IMG_5533.HEIC.jpg"><img class="alignnone wp-image-1419075" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/IMG_5533.HEIC-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="166" height="124" /></a></p> <p>There's nobody I've seen this weekend with more upside than Jabari Lee. Lee displayed tons of athleticism on both ends of the floor this morning. A nice coast-to-coast finish in the first half shows how quick he is. He really took over the game in the second half with several transition dunks and alley-oop finishes. Blocked shots on three straight defensive possessions in the second half too. His eight total blocks on defense was sensational. There's a lot to like about Lee. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>G Brennan Reid, Iowa Mavs - North Scott, 2024</strong></p> <p>Reid did a little bit of everything for the Mavs in a blowout win against QC shockers. Knocked down several shots from deep in the first half with a smooth stroke. Also has a nice pull-up midrange game. Played great on defense with several defensive rebounds and forced opponents to take tough shots. Has nice size for a 6'2" guard. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>G Demond Laongoen, Wisconsin Premier - Madison East, 2024</strong></p> <p>An explosive effort for the 5'11" point guard as Wisconsin Premier pulled away with a win over Chicago Lockdown. Laongoen displayed an excellent effort on both ends of the floor. He knocked down several shots from deep, showed excellent vision with his passing, and was explosive driving to the hoop on offense. Picked up lots of steals leading to easy transition points the other way. Finished the game with 27 points.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>G Chris Davis Jr, Wisconsin Premier - Madison East, 2024</strong></p> <p>Davis impressed with his physicality and toughness against Chicago Lockdown. The 6'0" guard got lots of buckets down low and drew many fouls. Came through big at the end with a steal and score in the final seconds to secure a win. Davis finished with 22 points.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>G Mason Bechen, Iowa Prep - North Linn HS, 2025</strong></p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/IMG_5531.jpg"><img class="alignnone wp-image-1419003" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/IMG_5531-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="163" height="122" /></a></p> <p>Bechen finished with 20 points and contributed in lots of ways against Wisconsin Hoops Select. He's almost unstoppable when driving to the basket. Fought for lots of rebounds on both ends. It seem's like he always plays with a chip on his shoulder. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
