GRBA National Championship Part 2

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This weekend I was in Fort Wayne for the GRBA National Championship on Friday and Saturday. This article will cover the second part of two of the top players I saw this weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='922603' first='Kaleb' last='Schaffer'] (2023) - F 6'6 - Ohio United 17u - Bishop Ready</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1523288,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/07/Kaleb-Schaffer-UNited-scaled.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/07/Kaleb-Schaffer-UNited-1024x675.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1523288" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Schaffer is a kid you want on your team. He showed great leadership by constantly talking on both ends of the floor. Plays with a very high motor. Always the first one on the floor. He plays forward but has the ability to guard wings with the effort level he puts in. Showed great touch around the rim. Hitting little floaters within five feet all game long.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brevyn Coleman (2023) - PG 6'1 - [program_tooltip program_id='2078667' first='[program_tooltip program_id='2078667' first='TNBA' last='']' last='']-Heat 17u - St. Edwards </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1523289,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/07/LIghtskin-eds-[program_tooltip program_id='2078667' first='[program_tooltip program_id='2078667' first='TNBA' last='']' last='']-scaled.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/07/LIghtskin-eds-[program_tooltip program_id='2078667' first='[program_tooltip program_id='2078667' first='TNBA' last='']' last='']-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1523289" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Coleman does a very nice job running the show for [program_tooltip program_id='2078667' first='[program_tooltip program_id='2078667' first='TNBA' last='']' last=''] - Heat. Very smooth player that has great control over the game and the pace he plays at. He never lets pressure bother him and rarely makes mistakes. He has a very good shot selection and he is someone you want running the offense. Excited to see what he does for St. Ed's this upcoming year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1679931' first='Jeremy' last='Wilson'] (2024) – W 6'5 – Team Clutch 17u - Solon</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1523292,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/07/Jeremy-Wilson-Clutch-1-scaled.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/07/Jeremy-Wilson-Clutch-1-1024x710.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1523292" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wilson ran the show for Team Clutch's win over NWO. He was very aggressive and got to the basket with ease. His athleticism and size allow him to be a great slasher. If he puts more focus and effort into being the lockdown defender he could be he will make a college coach very happy. He has all the tools. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1163457' first='Grant' last='Burkholder'] (2023) - PG 5'9 - Nova Schmitz 17u - Newark</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1523293,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/07/Grank-Burkholder-Niva-scaled.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/07/Grank-Burkholder-Niva-1024x605.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1523293" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Burkholder was very aggressive this weekend. Looking to score first in a lot of cases and did it at a high level. He did a very good job of finishing around the rim. He has a very unique ability to start his lay-ups at off-kilter timing. He also does a good job of finishing on running hooks. He did a good job of hitting big-time threes. He showed the skill of being able to shoot the ball without having his feet set. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ryan Hargett (2023) - W 6'4 - [program_tooltip program_id='2078667' first='[program_tooltip program_id='2078667' first='TNBA' last='']' last='']-Heat - St. Edwards </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1523295,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/07/[program_tooltip program_id='2078667' first='[program_tooltip program_id='2078667' first='TNBA' last='']' last='']-Snipper-scaled.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/07/[program_tooltip program_id='2078667' first='[program_tooltip program_id='2078667' first='TNBA' last='']' last='']-Snipper-1024x640.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1523295" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Haggert is a sniper. He is a very confident kid that is not afraid to let it fly. High-level and volume shooter that can shoot it from wherever. He hit some big-time shots in the game I watched him play against [program_tooltip program_id='2075761' first='Ohio' last='Buckets'] Miller. Very long wingspan that helps him shoot over defenders. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
