Prep Hoops Missouri takes a look at the members of Team No. 7 from last weekend’s Missouri Basketball Coaches Association Small College Showcase, which was held in Columbia.     <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/39A1388F-78B6-456A-A7E2-761266895432.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1438087" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/39A1388F-78B6-456A-A7E2-761266895432-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a> [player_tooltip player_id="1161298" first="Kyle" last="Eckhoff"] (Lincoln): The 6’3" 2023 guard is a small-school talent who was impressive as he used his physical strength and versatile skills to be very productive. He was slashing to the basket and scoring on runners and layups while also being able to pull up from 3-point range. He had a nice spin move along with other escape dribbles to break down defenders. He was also a willing passer who was a very good playmaker on the day.     <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/06/9ADA59CE-5C6B-4999-A640-034000C2A0EB.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1494395" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/06/9ADA59CE-5C6B-4999-A640-034000C2A0EB-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a> Vojin Vukovic (St. Paul Lutheran): A 6’5" 2023 forward who is physically strong with a good overall skill set. He had some solid takes to the basket as he could go either left or right to score on the drive. He was very well when going left and scoring with his opposite hand on the attack. His footwork was very good in the post as he had the jump hook and the up and under move in his arsenal. He could also step out and hit the 3-pointer off the catch.     <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/06/F466D34A-1E57-4D66-A142-4FE72B44431F.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1477189" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/06/F466D34A-1E57-4D66-A142-4FE72B44431F-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a> [player_tooltip player_id="1440456" first="Steve" last="Samuels"] (Jefferson City): A 5’11" 2023 point guard who is a physical spiceman and plays the game hard at both ends of the court. He has always been a tenacious defender, but he has also emerged an an excellent scoring threat on the perimeter. He can score on tough penetrating drives to the basket and mid-range jumpers while also improving his 3-point shooting. He never cheats you in the effort department at the defensive end with his ability to apply on-ball pressure.   [player_tooltip player_id="1168118" first="Josh" last="Allen"] (Blue Springs): A 6’4" 2023 wing player who plays a nice steady game that is always under control. That is because of his good fundamentals and high basketball IQ. The lefty can score inside with a little step-back turnaround jumper that’s very accurate. He also has a nice shooting touch from 3-point range.     <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/05/7286C32A-3CAD-44BE-AB3C-39895F4EE16D.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1201959" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/05/7286C32A-3CAD-44BE-AB3C-39895F4EE16D-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a> [player_tooltip player_id="1070118" first="Brady" last="Bowers"] (Rock Bridge): The 6’1" 2023 combo guard showcased his ability to knock down 3-pointers while also being a solid playmaker with the ball. He has good footwork and makes good use of ball fakes to get himself free to get to the mid-range, where he is also quite accurate. He is a scoring point guard with excellent shooting range.   Devin Stutsman (Highland): A 6’3" 2023 wing is a two-sport standout and also a good athlete on the football field as well as basketball. The solid lefty can shoot the ball and can get to the basket and score on strong takes.
