Jackson Morris | Built4Ball 2024
Jackson is a 5’11 guard that loves to get inside the 3pt line and just put pressure on the defense. This kid shoots the mid-range jumper at a high clip, and when you start biting on his jumper he is very crafty in getting to the basket. He is a stellar offensive rebounder and loves getting those 50-50 balls. Jackson is also a great shooter from 20 feet and knows how to use a pick and roll to create for himself or others. On the defensive end, Jackson uses his smaller frame to still defend the rim by jumping vertically to affect any shot attempt without fouling, taking charges, and just getting tips and steals. Jackson has a high motor and gives you everything he has while he is on the court. Great kid, with an exciting upside!
Shane Skidmore | Spokane Flight 2024
Shane is a 6’6 big body! Shane is a guy you have to pay attention to during every possession. He has a very soft touch around the rim, often getting fouled in the process of shot attempts around the rim. He sets really good screens for his guards to get downhill and get to the rim for a score or a dump to Shane as he trails the ball very well. He is great in the pick and roll whether he is rolling to the basket or popping out for a 12-15 footer. I see this kid having a really big summer and high school season next year. Will be fun to watch his growth!
Hudson Duff | FOH 2024
Hudson is another 6’4 gem hidden in the huge basketball scene in the Seattle area. He is a great athlete, with great speed, good vertical, and just outstanding effort. He gets to the rim with ease and shoots the mid-range jumper with a high percentage. When he is inside the 3pt line causing issues for the defense he often draws help defense and is able to find the open shooter for an easy catch and shoot jumper. Hudson also is a great versatile defender, getting tips and steals in the passing lanes, taking charges, and getting blocks on shot attempts at the rim.
Andrew Rayment | Spokane Flight
With a STRONG 6’5 frame, Andrew is an issue for the opposition. His motor is outstanding and is always moving the defense and causing issues for the opposition’s offensive gameplans. This kid is great at finishing thru contact and almost always results in extra shots at the free-throw line, which he shoots a good percentage. Andrew does really well operating in a pick and roll and makes good decisions with the basketball, whether that is a shot attempt at the rim rolling to the basket, or drawing in extra defenders and kicking to the open shooter for a high percentage 3pt. I believe this kid is going to keep growing physically and mentally on the basketball court. Lots of upside for Andrew!
Austin Hunt | Built4Ball 2024
Austin is a 6’10 250 lbs MOBILE big man. He runs the floor really well at his size. He is still figuring out how to use his big, strong frame and when he does, you’re going to see Austin really show you his talent. He has a very soft touch around the rim and keeps the ball high making the defense want to commit violations either reaching or jumping on his back to block a shot attempt. He sets really good screens creating space for his guards and is good at finding open space to be open for the potential pass. Austin is only 16, so as he grows his body and his mind his game will only get better.
