LaTroy McIntosh (Semo Select): A 6’6″ forward from Cape Girardeau Central who is an explosive athlete around the basket. He was very active on the boards and he displayed a nice touch inside. His jump hook was very effective in the lane and he run the court very well for transition buckets. He has a big upside.
Andre Aaron Jr. (Gateway): A 6’2″ southpaw shooting guard from Vashon who plays bigger than his actual size. He’s a physical performer who can muscle his way to the basket and hit pull up jumpers on the move. He rebounds well for his size and he competes hard on the defensive end.
Lee Williams (Gateway): A 6’5″ small forward from University City who had the athleticism to impact the game at both ends of the floor. He was an impressive slasher who can easily get to the basket and convert while also excelling in the transition game. He can also be disruptive on defense with his size and length.
Payton Woodard Payton Woodard 6'0" | PG Malden | 2024 State MO (Semo Bulls): A 5’10″ scoring point guard from Gideon who is a small school standout in the SEMO area. He has the ability to create a shot with his shifty moves and nice handles. He can get into the lane and score and he also can knock down 3-pointers. He is also a willing and capable passer.
Ashton Matthews (St. Louis Cobras Select 17U): A 5’9″ point guard from Francis Howell Central who did an excellent job while playing up at the 17U level. The young lefty has impressive handles, good quickness and a high basketball IQ. His court vision is also excellent and he was able to drop some impressive dimes while on the move.
Judd Thoma (Semo Select): A 6’4″ guard from Jackson who displayed a solid all-around game. I was impressed with how well he moved without the basketball to get himself open for buckets. He also did a nice job getting downhill on the dribble. He makes the offense flow better when he’s on the court.
Mason Dunlap Mason Dunlap 6'0" | PG Eureka | 2024 State MO (Gateway): A 5’11″ point guard from Eureka who has a smooth shooting stroke from 3-point range. He has a good feel for the game and he plays with a lot of poise. He pushes the tempo well and he’s very good with the lead pass on the break.
