Shows off the athleticism on both sides of the floor especially on defense, deflecting passes and on-ball steals. Very slithery and gifted finisher at the rim. Slow and controlled euro steps, paired with some hang time, helps him execute some tough hang finishes at the rim. Two foot finisher in traffic and a strong upper half. Knocks down the mid range off the hand off as a another scoring option. Shoots it specifically well off the catch but can create space and knock it down off the dribble.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">[player_tooltip player_id='1131117' first='Marcus' last='Glock'] | Wahoo</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 6'4 guard for the Warriors can fill it up from downtown. Already receiving some division 1 interest and his stock will only continue to go up. Quick jumper from the left side. Gets his feet set and gets that shot off in a hurry. Confident and can knock it down from nearly anywhere on the court, at times even with a hand in his face. Gets to the rim at times as well and can elevate and extend on his finishes. Active and alert help side defender. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Drew Morrow | O'Neill</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Morrow, 6'2 guard for O'Neill, has some range on his jump shot that you don't see everyday. Very confident from beyond the three point line and can sink it from roughly a couple steps inside the volleyball line. Quick with the ball in his hands as a facilitator and a very able finisher. Very impressive passer although. Lot of nice dumps offs and drops off to backside block big in games I have watched this year from him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">[player_tooltip player_id='1371668' first='Devin' last='Holmon'] | Omaha Central</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Holmon is a 6'5 wing with some versatility. Sees a lot of low post touches and can get creative down there. Utilizes his quick spin move, mobility, and pump fakes to convert in the paint. Puts himself in good position to grab offensive boards and again uses those pump fakes to create a shot and or draw a foul. Shows flashes of some smooth dump offs and has some solid vision from the high post.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">[player_tooltip player_id='1131120' first='Daleron' last='Thomas'] | Omaha North</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Thomas, 6'0 guard for the Vikings, is a very quick and explosive one guard. Very successful as a slasher due to his speed, handle, athleticism, and touch but can also shoot it pretty well. More so an off the bounce threat, he does a great job of creating open looks for himself. Lot of step backs and pull backs. Good downhill vision as a passer as well. Been a big fan of this young mans game since summer and he has only continued to progress. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
