Cobber Elite Camp: Player Watchlist

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Moorhead, MN -</strong> PHD is headed back across the Red River today to watch hoops at Memorial Auditorium on the beautiful campus of Concordia. The Cobber Elite Camp starts early afternoon and PHD is excited to watch basketball today. The Cobber coaching staff always puts on excellent events and today should be no different. They will put the guys through some great skill work, get up a ton of shots, play short-sided games, compete in competitive scenarios, and play up-n-down with some 5on5. There should be some serious talent in the gym from Minnesota and North Dakota. <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Best of luck to everyone at the camp today!</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In this article, we are looking at <strong>13</strong> players that I want to watch and we will give you a few reasons why.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1101063,"width":200,"height":200,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/12/concordia-mhead.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/12/concordia-mhead.png?w=200" alt="" class="wp-image-1101063" width="200" height="200" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"large"} --> <p class="has-large-font-size"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">WATCHLIST</span></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1189404"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cstrongu003eu003cemu003eu003cspan style=u0022text-decoration: underlineu0022u003eWHY?u003c/spanu003eu003c/emu003eu003c/strongu003e Mr. Cool is a smooth and skilled lefty. Brady's shooting range extends beyond college range and he can hit them off the dribble and catch. I like the demeanor and poise that Westphal plays with. Brady generates offense by slashing inside the arc and he is very good at finding shooters. Westphal also has a nice floater game.Is he hot from 3 and does he score around the basket?","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1168246"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"u003cstrongu003eu003cspan style=u0022text-decoration: underlineu0022u003eu003cemu003eWHY?u003c/emu003eu003c/spanu003eu003c/strongu003e I watched him a little over a month ago and Baldwin was one of the quickest players on the court. I have heard reports that Braylon played very well in AAU hoops and I am excited to see him compete against some stiff competition. He is an excellent creator and facilitator. Braylon is a big-time shooter and his first step is lightning quick. Can he score at the rim amongst the trees and does he look for his own shot or is he mainly creating for others?","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":[2856939],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"u003cspan style=u0022text-decoration: underlineu0022u003eu003cstrongu003eu003cemu003eWHY?u003c/emu003eu003c/strongu003eu003c/spanu003e I have never watched him in-person, I have only seen him on film and heard reports from AAU. Lillemoen has improved this offseason and he has had a productive AAU season. He has favorable size and he can score from all levels. Being a coaches kid, I imagine that Brody knows the game well. Why type of athlete is he, how does his shot look, and what type of ball skills does he have?","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1332141"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"u003cstrongu003eu003cspan style=u0022text-decoration: underlineu0022u003eu003cemu003eWHY?u003c/emu003eu003c/spanu003eu003c/strongu003e Miller has looked very good this summer when I have watched him with Davies and in AAU. I will not be surprised if Cam is the starting PG for the Eagles when the season starts. Miller is a strong and tough player for only being a soph. His finishing package is impressive, Cam can get it done from all angles and with either hand. Miller has a great feel and is an outstanding passer/creator. How does his perimeter jump shot look jump and does he appear ready to compete against juniors and seniors in the EDC?","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1327797"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"u003cstrongu003eu003cspan style=u0022text-decoration: underlineu0022u003eu003cemu003eWHY?u003c/emu003eu003c/spanu003eu003c/strongu003e I watched him on Sunday and Easy Money nailed a deep buzzer-beating 3-pointer thant won the game for the Hawks over Perham. It was just a summer game but it shows me that Evanson is clutch and a gamer. I have watched him many times over the summer and the more I watch Carter, the more skilled he looks. He is a MONEY shooter but he is much more than that. How does he look on defense and does he play off two feet in the paint?","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1144578"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"u003cstrongu003eu003cspan style=u0022text-decoration: underlineu0022u003eu003cemu003eWHY?u003c/emu003eu003c/spanu003eu003c/strongu003e I have not watched him play since the State Championship game! Holzer was an All-State type talent last year, I am interested to see if he plays with a chip on his shoulder today. Since I have not watched him since March, I wonder how much bigger Holzer is and how his skills look. The BIG lefty will fit well into the college game as a stretch-4. I would like to see a Holzer vs. Brandt matchup. This would be a battle of the top BIGs in class A. Does Cole spend much time on the block or is he out on the wing and how is his physicality around the basket?","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["1168182"],"_player_evaluations_6_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"u003cstrongu003eu003cemu003eu003cspan style=u0022text-decoration: underlineu0022u003eWHY?u003c/spanu003eu003c/emu003eu003c/strongu003e North has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to athletes, therefore, Schilling gets overlooked at times. Do not forget about David, he is long, rangy, and bouncy. He can make splashy plays by running the floor like a deer, dunking, slamming, alley-oop finishes, putbacks, blocks, and sky-high boards. Shilling has made leaps and bounds this offseason with his confidence and mindset. His 3-point shot has looked much better this summer as well. What does Shilling's defense look like and how is his skill level?","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["1144488"],"_player_evaluations_7_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"u003cstrongu003eu003cspan style=u0022text-decoration: underlineu0022u003eu003cemu003eWHY?u003c/emu003eu003c/spanu003eu003c/strongu003e I do not know all of the Minnesota player coming to Camp, but Brandt should be one of the best BIGs at Memorial Auditorium today. Will he show that killer instinct and dominate?  I want to see him get a smaller defender on him and see Jacob play bully ball. I love his length and his ability to spread the floor. His perimeter jump shot is intriguing. The way he runs the floor and shares the ball is noteworthy. All the pieces are there for Mr. Brandt. His post moves seem to have really improved in the past 6 months. I am interested to see him in PNR situations on both sides of the ball. Will he be the best BIG and how does he move his feet on defense?","_player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_8_player":["1179065"],"_player_evaluations_8_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_8_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_8_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_8_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_8_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_8_evaluation":"u003cspan style=u0022text-decoration: underlineu0022u003eu003cstrongu003eu003cemu003eWHY?u003c/emu003eu003c/strongu003eu003c/spanu003e I have said this many times and I will say it again. Angau is a game changer with his shot. He is a major 3-point threat. His range is expansive and John's shot is effortless. He height and long arms allow the Mustang to shoot over smaller defenders. He is not just a shooter, Angau is is gifted athlete as well. I am seen him make some impressive plays u0026amp; finishes this summer. Is he one of the elite shooters today and how does he get after it on defense?","_player_evaluations_8_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_9_player":["2103032"],"_player_evaluations_9_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_9_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_9_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_9_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_9_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_9_evaluation":"u003cstrongu003eu003cspan style=u0022text-decoration: underlineu0022u003eu003cemu003eWHY?u003c/emu003eu003c/spanu003eu003c/strongu003e He has gotten bigger and stronger this offseason. His confidence has also immensely grown. Levi is a productive and talented shot blocker. Ulven can score from all levels and has the bounce to finish above the rim.

He will get plenty of shots up in the skill work today, I am excited to see that. His handles look good when attacking the basket. Moose is gifted at blocking/contesting shots. His timing and anticipation have been impressive this summer. Moose has a knack for knowing when to leave his his feet on the way up to erase the shot. Does he play in the post at all or all on the wing? How hard does he play, does he take possessions off? Moose certainly looks like a Stock Riser this summer.","_player_evaluations_10_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_11_player":["1632619"],"_player_evaluations_11_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_11_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_11_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_11_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_11_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_11_evaluation":"u003cstrongu003eu003cspan style=u0022text-decoration: underlineu0022u003eu003cemu003eWHY?u003c/emu003eu003c/spanu003eu003c/strongu003e I have watched Rice a few times this summer and he has been impressive. He is long, mobile, and he is a fluid shooter from beyond the arc. Reggie scores off the bounce and he finishes in the paint with versatility. He is a difficult player to matchup with because of his length, mobility, and skill. Rice runs the court like a deer and he creates turnovers. How are his ball skills and can he defend BIGs on the block?","_player_evaluations_11_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_12_player":["1144483"],"_player_evaluations_12_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_12_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_12_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_12_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_12_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_12_evaluation":"u003cspan style=u0022text-decoration: underlineu0022u003eu003cstrongu003eu003cemu003eWHY?u003c/emu003eu003c/strongu003eu003c/spanu003e He will be one of the strongest athletes at the Elite Camp. Larson is an exceptional meaning athlete, but when I watched him in June, Ryan looked like a sniper! He was hitting three-pointers at a high rate. Larson is also a powerful and explosive dunker. If you get in his way, he will dunk on you! I am excited to see him catch-n-shoot from 3, make plays going downhill, and slam in transition. Will he be a top shooter at the event, how are his handles, and does he create for others? Will the Blue Jay put anyone on a poster?","_player_evaluations_12_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":13,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64c1e9375a208"} /--> <!-- wp:image {"id":1317685,"sizeSlug":"full","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/10/PlayerWatchlistNDSD.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2021/10/PlayerWatchlistNDSD.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1317685" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image -->
