Jason Rodriguez Jason Rodriguez 5'10" | PG Bishop Miege | 2023 State KS | 6’0 G | KC Spurs 2023
Rodriguez for starters, has phenomenal court awareness. Silky smooth passer, had handfuls of no-look dimes that were put right where they needed to be to lead to easy buckets. Real nice handle, quick crossover that kept defenders guessing. He was able to get to the rim if he didn’t see an open man and finish.
Tyson Ruud Tyson Ruud 6'5" | SF Basehor-Linwood | 2023 State KS | 6’6 G/F | SSA Hoops Elite 2023 Black
Long and athletic wing, who can play/defend 2-4. Finished above the rim and ran well in transition. Very aggressive rebounder and was able to grab the ball and push the tempo for his team, able ball handler. Had some put back looks and converted including a put back slam late in game against KC Spurs.
Britt Dutton | 6’1 G | SSA Hoops Elite 2023 Black
I really liked Duttons game. Defensively he stayed in front of his man, forced pickups or bad shots. On the offensive end he attacked the rim hard. One move and go type of guy. He finished well with both hands on either side of the rim. Nice touch at the rim as well.
Lynell Lane | 6’2 G | Midwest Bounce Hoops 2023
Lane was a highlight reel in the game I watched of him and it started in warmups. Very athletic guard who can absolutely takeoff. He’s a terror on the defensive end, trapping everything, and hounding for the basketball. On the offensive end he threw down some hammers, and he connected from three as well.
Tejon McDaniel-McCormick | 6’4 G | PGU Hoops 2023
Very dominant guard with the big man skills down low. He’s a strong lead guard for his talented squad. He does a great job of attacked hard then slowing down for a poised finish. Solid rebounder who was able to grab and go, coast to coast or advance it up to teammates.
