Live Period #1 (Part 2)

<p>The first Live Period did not disappoint and neither did Utah teams scattered across the country putting in work and racking up interest and offers. </p> <p><strong>6’5 G [player_tooltip player_id="934036" first="Chudi" last="Anosike"] || Utah Stars UA Rise || 2023 ||</strong></p> <p>Chudi had a good enough weekend in Indy as he picked up an offer from UC Irvine. The dynamic guard with size was able to showcase his talents and the skill we have been seeing here in Utah for sometime now. Chudi is shooting about 35% three and just stat stuffing across the board as a quick guard that has size and athleticism. His motor continues to improve. Great star of the Live Period for him as we move forward. </p> <p><strong>6’3 G [player_tooltip player_id="1057041" first="KJ" last="Miller"] || Salt Lake Rebels || 2024 ||</strong></p> <p>KJ was in his bag this weekend as he was really impressive with his play as he was putting up 20+ PPG out at the Pangos event in Las Vegas. What is making KJ really pop this early is his rebounding ability as a guard and that he is stretching the floor hitting a flurry of three-pointers. KJ was one fo those players that we thought would have a breakout Spring and he seems to be putting in the work to really bolster his stock. As a 2024 kid KJ has an opportunity to raise his level of play. Excited to see him suit up again at the next even the Rebels go to. </p> <p><strong>6’7 F [player_tooltip player_id="1057024" first="Paul" last="Beattie"] || Utah Prospects Adidas 3SSB || 2024 ||</strong></p> <p>Paul had a solid year at Farmington this past year but his solid play in the last two tournaments has really been a surprise. In the live event in Indy. Paul was holding it down on the blocks and finding different ways to contribute. Paul is hitting that mid-range pull-up and he is also a threat out in the perimeter. Racked up 28 points against Brookwood Elite and was the primary defender against the 7’5 C from the opposing team. Paul has a high motor and is developing in his role. </p> <p><strong>6’2 G [player_tooltip player_id="1128939" first="Hunter" last="Schenck"] || Kongo Elite || 2024 ||</strong></p> <p>Hunter is back at it as he has this silky smooth athletic style of play that often catches defenders off guard. He plays with a good pace and speed and he really lights it up from deep. This kid is going to average 5 three-pointers a game easy. Hunter is displaying some poise that goes very well with his game. Hunter is a next level talent and he will have a great year playing with Kongo. </p> <p><strong>6’7 F [player_tooltip player_id="1201574" first="Nic" last="Hogan"] || Utah Premier || 2022 ||</strong></p> <p>Nic is suiting up with Utah Premier this Spring and he has a spring to his step. Nic is a player that plays with a high motor and he gets after it on both ends of the floor. Nic is a player that does all the little things to get extra buckets. He could be a solid find at the next level. </p>
