Battle At The Lakes: Sunday Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Which prospects impressed Sunday at the Prep Hoops Battle At The Lakes?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1219802' first='Andre' last='Austin'] -- G -- Pack 2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I think that Austin has the potential to become a really special player. I was able to watch the Pack 2024 guard play a little bit last summer. I was really impressed then. But on Sunday, I thought that Austin showed a lot of improvement. Overall, I think that Austin is a complete prospect on offense. He scores well from all three levels. He can make threes, finish at the rim, and knock down shots in the mid-range. Austin scored 15 points for Pack 2024 in a win on Sunday. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1512858' first='Keetan' last='Eagle'] -- G -- Pack 2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Eagle's overall game is very impressive. The Pack 2024 guard's game on the offensive end of the court is complete. He is a true three-level scorer and elite facilitator. In a win over Waterloo Salvation, Eagle tallied 19 points on eight made field goals, including three made shots from beyond the arc. Eagle was awesome this weekend in Minnesota. He certainly raised his stock. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Karter Meredith -- G-- Wisconsin Hoops Select </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Meredith caught fire on Sunday afternoon for Wisconsin Hoops Select. The guard went for 20 points on eight made field goals. I really like how Meredith is able to score in many different ways. He is just so good at getting to his spots and getting buckets. He is very quick and decisive. When Meredith makes quick decisions, the guard is extremely tough to stop. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1617787' first='Noah' last='George'] -- G -- Twin Cities Elite </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>George made some really impressive plays on Sunday afternoon. The Twin Cities Elite guard was the first option for his team in a huge victory. George poured in 28 points on efficient shooting numbers. George is much more than just a scorer, though. The guard defends well and is also skilled as a passer. Moving forward, I suggest college coaches take a look at George. He is certainly a tremendous player. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ethan Zywicki -- G -- Wisconsin Academy</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While Zywicki's 12-point stat line won't necessarily blow you away, I came away really impressed with Zywicki's play on Sunday. I really love the toughness that he brings to the table. The Wisconsin Academy guard is willing to make all of the hustle plays that are necessary for winning. Even though he is still very young in his development as a basketball player, Zywicki showed plenty of promise on Sunday afternoon. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Oliver Huth -- PF -- Border Select Basketball </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rebounding and rim protection are perhaps two of the most important skills in basketball. Huth checks off both of these boxes. Standing at 6-foot-6 with good strength, Huth does a really good job fighting for rebounds in the paint. He certainly isn't afraid of being physical around the cup. Huth is also a great shot-blocker. He can use his long arms to impact opposing players' shots. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
