Judd Thoma Judd Thoma 6'5" | SG Jackson | 2024 State MO (Jackson): The 6’4″ 2024 guard had an impressive showing on Saturday as he can both be the assertive bucket getter on offense while also playing the swiss army knife role that excels in all facets of the game. He was always in the right spots at both ends of the court. He could hit the Corner 3-pointer, get a bucket on a strong drive to the basket and facilitate with his passing. He also threw down a few impressive dunks in transtion.
Holden Souter Holden Souter 6'6" | PF Whitfield | 2024 State MO (Whitfield): The 6’6″ 2024 forward is a solid combo forward who was very strong on the drive. When he got to his dominant left hand, he was tough to keep out of the lane as he scored on layups and running hooks. He is an excellent passer who could operate from the high post. He was also very productive on the offensive boards with several putbacks.
Sam Piontek Sam Piontek 6'4" | SF Chaminade | 2023 State MO (Chaminade): A versatile 6’4″ wing who has good length, athleticism and a nice feel for the game. He is a capable ball handler and a willing and effective passer on offense. He had a very effective mid-range jumper where he got good elevation on his shot. He used his length very well on the defensive end to create steals and get a few blocks as well.
Justin Ray Justin Ray 6'1" | PG Carthage | 2024 State MO (Carthage): A 6’1″ 2024 point guard who plays with a lot of savvy and a nice feel for the game. He comes off the screen very well to shoot the 3-pointer with good rhythm. His handles are very good as he can get where he needs to go without being sped up. He will drop a nice dime with his court vision.
Ricky Hunter Ricky Hunter 5'11" | CG Ste. Genevieve | 2023 State MO (Ste. Genevieve): The 5’11” 2023 combo guard was one of the top perimeter shooters in the event. He is excellent off the catch and his range extends well beyond the 3-point line when he is in his rhythm. He moves well without the ball to make himself available for his shot.
Jonathan Gray Jonathan Gray 6'1" | SG Fort Zumwalt East | 2024 MO (Fort Zumwalt East): A 6’0″ 2024 combo guard who made quite an impression on me in the first time seeing him play. His motor ran non-stop as he hustled on defense and rebounded extremely well for a guard his size. He was scoring on strong penetrating drives in the lane and he knocked down a pair of 3-pointers in the game I watched him.
Kieran Wors Kieran Wors 6'4" | PG Union | 2024 MO (Union): A 6’4″ 2024 small forward who has good size and a versatile skill set. He hit a nice 3-pointer off the catch in one of his first touches in the game I watched. He was comfortable handling the ball on the perimeter and he was also a solid rebounder.
Top 250 Expo Team 3 Evals Top 250 Expo Team 3 Evals (University City): A 64″ 2025 forward who plays with plenty of bounce and activity around the basket. He was one of the top shot blockers in the event. He had one play where he blocked two shots from two different players in the same possession. He has good timing, length and excellent reaction to get to shots. He works the baseline well and he is a good offensive rebounder.
Noah Barnes (Windsor): A 5’9″ 2025 point guard who has good court savvy and a nice feel for the game. He did a good job of keeping the ball moving offense. When he became assertive, he was able to deliver some nice passes on the move and create a nice shot off the dribble and get into the lane. He also has 3-opint shooting range.
Ryan Hasheider Ryan Hasheider 6'1" | SG Fort Zumwalt East | 2024 MO (Fort Zumwalt East): A 6’1″ 2024 guard who has good length and some solid playmaking skills. He was capable of getting into the lane on the dribble and he can hit the open 3-pointer. He moves well without the ball to get his feet set to shoot the ball.
