3 Takeaways: Conant vs Lake Park

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On Tuesday night PHI took in a good one as Conant traveled to Lake Park.&nbsp; What peaked our interest about this one was a 2024 point guard with some buzz we hadn't seen yet and a 2025 post who caught our attention over the summer.&nbsp; Both lived up to the billing making this a fun watch as Conant defeated Lake Park 66-54.&nbsp; Here are the <strong>3 Takeaways: Conant vs Lake Park</strong>!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2025 Post Shows Out at Right Time for Conant</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The difference for Conant was the shooting from their 2025 power forward [player_tooltip player_id='1545127' first='Bradley' last='Biedke'].&nbsp; With the 2025 rankings coming out next week it was the perfect time for a big performance and that is what he brought by scoring 20 points in the win. &nbsp;Face up four lit it up from distance draining four from distance looking so fluid in the pick/pop game.&nbsp; Quick release and soft touch on his jumper.&nbsp; Also is a good free throw shooter as he racked them up at the line.&nbsp; Needs to add strength and rebound at a better rate, but there are a lot of intriguing tools here.&nbsp; He had an impressive swat coming from the weakside as wel.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Conant Junior Trio Contributes to Win</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This Conant group has a solid rotation of juniors that contributed in the win.&nbsp; [player_tooltip player_id='1541242' first='Yusuf' last='Cisse'] is a ranked point guard in the 2024 class that brings shiftiness with the rock scoring at the rim and is a solid passer in the half court.&nbsp; Netted 11 points. &nbsp;Post Camden Lathos is a junk yard dog that hits the offensive glass with force for pick ups as he recorded 13 points and 10 rebounds.&nbsp; Also liked what we saw from shooting guard Austin Potocnic who shot it well from three off the catch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Cerese Lives Up to Buzz for Lake Park</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This was my first look at Lake Park 2024 6'2” point guard Camden Cerese.&nbsp; We had heard some buzz about him and just couldn't get a look at him before the 2024 rankings came out earlier this week.&nbsp; He more than deserves to be in there.&nbsp; The lead guard lit it up in the first half for 19 of his 29 points.&nbsp; He came out blazing showing creative handles getting to the cup including a coast to coast take off a defensive rebound for an and-1.&nbsp; Then proceeded to get hot with the jumper including a couple threes and a pair of mid-range jumpers.&nbsp; Interesting shot as it seems he is leaning back on it, but was effective.&nbsp; Zip on his passes in the half court and dished it with either hand.&nbsp; Definitely made an impression on us!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
