More Players to Watch

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Idaho has some hoopers. Here is a small list of the solid players you must watch this upcoming season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"backgroundColor":"primary","fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-primary-background-color has-background has-medium-font-size"><strong>6'0 PG [player_tooltip player_id='923086' first='Kolton' last='Mitchell'] || Lake City High School || 2023 ||</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With a handful of D1 offer Kolton is set for an epic senior season. Kolton has some impressive bounce to go along with an elite outside shot. The motor and pace he plays with is quite impressive. He catches the ball with the best of them on the move and the elevation on his jumper is elite. The passing ability he has is excellent as he can see cutters in traffic and he makes some tough passes look easy. Off the bounce he has a great way of changing gears and getting to the rim. Elite separation ability. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"backgroundColor":"primary","fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-primary-background-color has-background has-medium-font-size"><strong>6'2 SG Titan Larsen || Hillcrest High School || 2025 ||</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A few youngsters to keep an eye on this upcoming season. Titan had a good summer and he was able to really improve that already good long ball. Not only is he hitting open looks he has extended his range. He can catch and shoot quickly. He is a tough hard nose playing guard that can play both ends of the floor. Titans rebounds the ball well and he can also take smaller guards into the post as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"backgroundColor":"primary","fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-primary-background-color has-background has-medium-font-size"><strong>5'10 PG Machaon Saverda || Owyhee High School || 2025 ||</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mac has the ball on a string and with him running the show at his high school he really gives them a different dynamic as a playmaking PG that can get loose. His moves are all compact and just quick. He shakes defenders with ease. That right to left cross is dirty. He is a fun creative player to watch. To top it off that shooting ability really makes it tough for defenders to key in on his handle and driving ability he can really keep defenders off balance with the best of them. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"backgroundColor":"primary","fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-primary-background-color has-background has-medium-font-size"><strong>7'0 C [player_tooltip player_id='970436' first='AJ' last='LaBeau'] || Timberline High School || 2023 ||</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Footwork is not bad and continues to improve. That drop step move he has driving the ball to his left coming back over his left shoulder is a go to move. He is quicker off the bounce than people might think. When he elevates near the rim he is agile with his moves as he can finish on either side of the rim. In the post he can go to those finesse move but he can also body players and use his strength to get those easy lays. Defensively he gets after it if he is away from the ball he does a great job tracking down those help-side bocks with great timing and length. One of the better bigs out in the West that might be unknown nationally. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
