Charlie looks bigger and more mobile as he is a knockdown shooter. He has been really good off-the dribble and he is an obvious bucket in a catch and shoot. Excited to see how his new coach uses him to maximize his shooting potential. This summer he was showcasing that shooting range and making ability. He was a summer standout in this age group for sure.
Owen was one of the best bigs this summer when it comes to growth. Owen sprouted and he has been a really nice rim protector and paint finisher. With soft hands and the ability to move down in the trenches really makes him valuable, especially at 6’9. Owen is also dunking everything in the paint which is an aggressive side of him that needs to be on at all times. He has a lot of potential.
JJ continues to move the needle on the national stage as he heads to USC and UCL for visits this week. JJ is knocking down some deep jumpers beyond the NCAA line which is a positive sign as teams want him to be a knockdown shooter as well. Passing ability is strong and he is great in the open floor as he is seeking the right cuts and openings to create. JJ is just a floor leader that when given instruction will make a team better and that is what he did this summer.
Highlights
Solid playmaking PG that was doing that. and more for his club team. When he has the ball in his hands players around him need to be catch ready or dum p down and finish ready as he will get the ball to where it needs to go. He will have one of each at Lone Peak which will be fun for him. Austin made some strides in his potential this summer, so we are excited to continue to see his progression.
Highlights
John just might have taken over the best shooter in the class and maybe the state the way he was shooting and the way he was getting buckets, there has been no better shooter this summer than John. One o fthe most impressive shooting performances we have seen in a Spring/Summer stretch in a long time.
