Ethan Simmons
Ethan Simmons 6'4" | SG | 2023
UT
We are looking for some new players and new talent making waves this summer. Here are some names that we do not usually talk about that are having great off-season grassroots play.&nbsp; <strong>6'4 W [player_tooltip player_id='1548046' first='Ethan' last='Simmons'] || Utah Premier || 2023 ||</strong> Ethan is somewhat of a power guard and he has displayed some growth in his game. We have seen him have his way heading to the rim but he has really developed that pull-up jumper that he uses when defenders move with him but give him space. He still uses his strength to get near the rim for easy buckets. Ethan is a player that has a knack for those loose balls. Really like the way he is shooting the ball. Plays for Tooele H.S which makes him a bit off the radar but he has a solid game that can translate to the next level. Could see him really get some attention from those small school looking for bigger guards.&nbsp; <strong>6'2 CG [player_tooltip player_id="1057039" first="Jared" last="Anderson"] || Next Level Elite || 2024 ||</strong> You cannot leave this kid open and teams are finding out the hard way. From distance he is lights out and he has a patient game and you can see it in the pick n' roll as he reads the defense and he is often left open from deep and he makes them pay. Quick release off the catch and he does have a game where he gets in the lane and has some smooth finishing ability. Will be a force for Green Canyon H.S.Will be a standout player in 4A up North.&nbsp; <strong>6'0 SG [player_tooltip player_id="1057572" first="Jaxon" last="Heusser"] || Utah Premier || 2023 ||</strong> This kid could get hot really quickly and once he gets going he is hard to stop. Ideal catch and shoot guard but he has some range off the bounce as well. Jaxon has a high release that allows him to shot over closeouts as well as bigger defenders with outstretched arms. NBA type of range and he doesn't hesitate, when he sees something he likes he is letting it fly. Will be a big time scorer for Viewmont this up-coming year.&nbsp; <strong>6'2 G [player_tooltip player_id="1116134" first="Colby" last="Whicker"] || Kongo Elite || 2023 ||</strong> Colby will be given the task to help Davis maintain their level of play that was elite last season. He is doing a great job as he is a consistent scoring threat and an all-around solid player. He can really light it up from deep. Moves well without he ball as he finds pockets and gets those shots off quickly and he shots at a high percentage. Good size fr a guard that can shoot. Crafty around the rim as he attacks nicely. Excited to him take what he is doing this club season and put it to work at Davis.&nbsp; &nbsp;
