Zaine Blixt – 5’6” PG/SG (2028) – ECI 2028 Dvorak – Zaine has a solid overall offensive game. Goes off the dribble effectively and can catch and shoot or create his own three with a step-back. Has some muscle and bulk to him.

Andrew Ziemer – 5’2 PG (2028) ECI 2028 Dvorak – Ziemer has the ball on a string. Elite-level handles. A short prospect, but it really didn’t limit him. A distributing point guard at its finest meaning.

Ethan Rock – 6’2” C (2028) – Sanford Sports 2028 White – Ethan stood out with his size and ability to protect the paint, by making 4-5 blocks against ECI. Made some finishes at the hoop, but was also inconsistent in doing so.

Darieon Smith Jr. – 5’9” F (2028) – Sanford Sports 2028 White – Smith Jr. was ultra-physical in this game and was delivering the blow. Secured a bunch of rebounds with his relentless demeanor. Played mostly close to the hoop and impacted the game from there. Offensive rebounds for put-backs was the norm.

Wesley Lockwood – 5’7” G (2028) – 58 Hoops 2028 – Wesley did everything. A two-way player that exploded scoring the ball early in the game. A good athlete and mover and it shows most when he’s defending on the ball. Sealed the win for his team by making clutch free-throws.

Romeo Kromah Quiah – 5’9”-5’10” G/F (2028) – ECI 2028 Zimmerman – I feel comfortable saying that Romeo is the most athletic and explosive athlete I’ve seen thus far. He got better as the game went on. He was dominant late in the game and had a nice stretch of making consecutive plays on both ends. He got to the hoop and finished when he got there. So explosive and he couldn’t be contained. His athleticism is very clear to spot, because it’s on another level.

Knox Collins – 5’4” PG/SG (2028) – ECI 2028 Zimmerman – Collins isn’t a big prospect, but he’s a prospect that will knockdown his shot if you give him space. Does well shooting the ball off the catch. Handled and moved the ball around without making mistakes. Really like his defensive ability, too. Can move easily with his matchup and make things difficult for them.

Daesean Knutson – 5’6” PG/SG (2028) – ECI Zimmerman 2028 – Knutson is a good athlete and mover. He also proved he can knockdown jumpers, as he nailed 3-4 in a row later in the game. He got in a stance and played effort D as well. Ran the court.

Kingston Mayer – G – Minnesota Fury 2028 Ames – Kingston had a big game scoring the ball. Scored at all three levels. Fury battled back from a big deficit and Mayer was leading the way. He was hitting his threes and finishing his scoring opportunities.
