Hard Work Region Finals: Saturday PM Standouts

<p>Prospect standouts from Saturday PM at the Hard Work Region Finals!</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1288837" first="Logan" last="Kunz"] -- F -- Minnesota Crossfire -- 17U</strong></p> <p>Kunz caught fire in the second half for Minnesota Crossfire. In a blowout victory, the forward was able to show off his pure shooting stroke, as he drilled back-to-back triples. Kunz has great positional size for a forward, which he is able to use to rebound well and defend at a very high-level. Playing for a solid Minnesota Crossfire squad, I liked what I saw from Kunz on Saturday. </p> <p><strong> Jack Field -- F -- House Of Wellness All Stars -- 17U</strong></p> <p>I have really liked what I have seen from Field this AAU season. The forward has introduced himself as a name to know in Wisconsin’s 2023 class. Field is very versatile as a scorer. He is capable of knocking down outside shots and has become very good at getting to his spots and scoring. Field is a long, lanky forward who has raised his stock significantly. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1172778" first="Sam" last="Massaquoi"] -- PG -- Minnesota Grizzlies -- 17U</strong></p> <p>Massaquoi is one of the fastest, most explosive point guard that I have had a chance to watch this spring. When the PG attacks the rim, there are not many defenders that can effectively stay in front of him. Massaquoi is also a very good ballhandler and finisher at the rim. Any college coaches still looking for a point guard in the 2023 class should take a look at Massaquoi. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1409364" first="Peter" last="Lattos"] -- PF -- Coulee Country -- 17U</strong></p> <p>Lattos is a huge reason why Coulee Country was able to make its way into the Sweet Sixteen. And even though CC wasn’t able to get it done against Pentagon Schoolers, Lattos was still super impressive. I love how the power forward is able to use his size to fight down low in the paint. Lattos also showed flashes of offensive skill. The PF was able to knock down outside shots and displayed some fancy ball-handling skills. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1043749" first="Emmett" last="Lawton"] -- SG -- Team 1848 -- 17U </strong></p> <p>Lawton is really fun to watch on the offensive end of the court. On Saturday, the shooting guard was able to display all of his skills. Lawton is known as a dead-eye shooter, and he certainly drilled outside shots in a win for Team 1848, but I was particularly impressed with Lawton’s ability to get buckets in the midrange. He did a great job of using his size and skill to get to his spots and finish. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1043748" first="Ethan" last="Wall-Atim"] -- PF -- Team 1848 -- 17U </strong></p> <p>Wall-Atim probably isn’t ever going to be a prolific scorer, but the power forward is a guy that I would take on my squad ten times out of ten. He is very physical in the paint. The PF is always scrapping for rebounds or trying to block shots. And while it might not be his go-to, Wall-Atim is 100 percent capable of scoring in the paint. </p>
