Brayden Beckering (6’1 BDBL Elite) He’s a big, tough guard who doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty. On both ends of the court, Brayden made numerous physical plays. He boxed out nicely and did a good job on the boards, in my opinion. He received a perfect score on all three levels. Beckering was able to finish through defenders at the rim, pull up from mid-range, and make 3-pointers. His shooting form and ball control appear to be excellent. When I was watching, he made several opportune baskets. I was very impressed by this Southwest Christian player.
Drew Kolander (6’2 WOTN) He originally caught my attention with a great hesitation move that allowed him to defeat the D. Kolander showed a great jumper and was successful in the pick-and-roll game. He also demonstrated a pretty nice step-back move from a height of 8 feet. Drew has a strong understanding of the game and can handle the ball like a dependable point guard. He’s a physical player who earned an AND1 for his body control. Alex anticipates and intercepts passes on defense, even came up with a poster block that got people hyped.
Braden Siroin Braden Siroin 6'1" | SG St. Anthony Village | 2025 State MN ( 6’1 MN Heat GNC) He is tall and has excellent movement. Siroin is a superb athlete who altered and blocked shots on defense to affect the game. Siroin was effective in the pick-and-roll game on offense. He caught high and finished high while rolling to the basket. He was unconcerned with the small guards. Braden showed slick footwork to split a double-team on his way to a score after he boards up. I was impressed with how he shielded the ball with his body. He is the total offensive threat. He was also patient when it came to the basket. Braden is a fascinating player.
Keegan Harney (6’1 D1 MN) This youngster is a bunch of fun! Harney has the ability to score from wherever on the court. He went 3-3 on three-pointers, including two from the left wing, and one from the top of the key. Keegan added to his total with a tip-in, free throws, layups, and floaters. His shooting stroke is one of my favorites; it’s rapid, compact, and there’s no wasted movement. It’s no surprise that he has a great sense of the game. Harney is a basketball player with a lot of blood in his veins. Keegan is a facilitator and a gamechanger, not just a scorer. He will serve well on the Maple Grove roster in the coming years!
