AAU Spring/Summer Boys Team Preview: Waukee Jam 17U

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Waukee Jam 17U boys team is fast and efficient. They have a roster of 11 players with a majority of them being guards in some sort of way. This just means one thing. They are going to have to push the pace, up their defensive pressure on the ball, and let it fly from deep once they create an open look for each other. This group comes together and plays really well. They seem to work off of each other as if they have played together for awhile now. They are sure to draw some eyes this year on the road. This spring/summer make sure to catch them at any of the tournament below! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size">Schedule</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>April 22-24: MW Festival Of Teams - Des Moines, Iowa</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>April 29-30: MW Live Spring Showcase - Des Moines, Iowa</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>May 6-8: Recruitlook Iowa Showcase - Ames, Iowa</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>May 20-22: Gym Rats King Of The Court - Des Moines, Iowa</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>May 27-29: Midwest Basketball Showcase - Omaha, Nebraska </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>June 24-26: June Jam - Des Moines, Iowa</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>July 8-10: MW Live Summer Showcase - Des Moines, Iowa</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>July 15-17: Hardwood Classic - Kansas City, Missouri </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size">Roster </h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='2325569' first='Hudson' last='Wilmes'] ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77248","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Winterset","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Waukee Jam 17U","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Shooting guard with not the most conventional shooting stroke but he gets it to go in at such a high rate, who cares.

Really good putting the ball on the floor and getting past his initial defender. Good at creating space and opportunities for his teammates once he gets to the middle of the lane. Possesses a really nice layup package as well. Giving himself unlimited options while attacking his defenders. Defensively is just like his brother.

Is really solid next to the hoop and really solid behind the three point line. You can start to see he is expanding his game to the mid-range level with how he is handling the ball more and putting it on the floor. A lot of promise looking forward with this one.

Very good vision and passing ability when he is going downhill against an opponent. Welcomes contact while trying to finish at the rim on a regular basis. Attacks the hoop with the intent of finding an open teammate but has the ability to change that up and get his own if need be. Consistent shooting stroke when given time.

A player that defenses need to worry about once they beat their guy, because if they don't, it's going to end in a block by Sam. Likes to try to a charge if it's possible when coming over to help-side. Offensively, he is finding his own near the rim. Nice footwork paired with a plethora of skill moves once he gets his back to the basket. A consistent rebounder on both sides of the floor, no matter if he is the tallest player or not.

I wouldn't label him as a point guard or a shooting guard. He has the ability of both in different ways. Is a solid handler of the ball who can get to the hoop on a consistent basis on offense while also being able to catch and shoot at a consistent rate. Possess a nice floater and the ability to finish at the hoop over a bigger defender.

A lot of people out there talk about players who keep teams together, give it all they have, and contribute in little ways all over the court, that player is Connor.
