GRBA National Championship – Friday Top Performers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Night one of the annual GRBA National Championship in Fort Wayne, Indiana is officially in the books. I had boots on the ground primarily at the Turnstone-Plassman Athletic Center covering the action throughout Friday afternoon and evening. Let's dive in to a handful of the prospects who stood out as action go underway.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2053671"],"_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":"Putting up 29 points in a victory is bound turn to some heads. That is what this 6'2u0022 guard did for OPS Grey 2025 while also pulling down 7 rebounds and dishing out 6 assists. His ability to score in a variety of different ways, plus some strong playmaking skills, makes him a very difficult matchup on the perimeter. He continues to have a very good summer.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1270990"],"_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":"We often think of this 6'4u0022-6'5u0022 guard as a catch-and-shoot threat who scores it from the perimeter. While he is very good at playing that role, Hauser is so much more than that offensively. That was on display Friday night at Turnstone - Plassman Athletic Center against Ohio Bucket - Young. The bigger guard showcased his playmaking skills off of the dribble proving he can not only act as a secondary playmaker but potentially even filling in with point guard duties as well.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1190568"],"_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":"After a tough loss earlier in the day, Summit City Elite Black 2024 came back with a last-second victory over [program_tooltip program_id='2075559' first='Indy' last='EBC'] Blue 62-61. A big part of that come-from-behind victory was 6'2u0022 guard [player_tooltip player_id='1190568' first='Caden' last='Pettis'] who scored a team-leading 20 points.

I've certainly heard the name after he received first team all-conference honors as a junior at New Albany and I've seen this IE Blaze Select team once before back in the spring, but I admittedly simply wasn't very familiar with Rose's game. However, the 6'1u0022 guard made quick work of catching my attention as he scored 25 points in a victory over [program_tooltip program_id='2075551' first='Indiana' last='Game'] UA Rise.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1275817"],"_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":"Sorensen led [program_tooltip program_id='2075551' first='Indiana' last='Game'] UA Rise in scoring twice on Friday. They suffered a tough defeat to IE Blaze Select in their evening contest where he scored 14 points, but he was excellent earlier in the afternoon knocking in four first half three-point attempts on his way to a big scoring performance. The tough, competitive guard plays with such a high motor and can flat out score the basketball. Small college coaches were following him closely on night one of the GRBA National Championship.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1158183"],"_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":"There is no denying Tewari's versatility as a scorer. He was very efficient for Yorktown over the last couple of seasons and that was on display with some three-level scoring potential on Friday night for All Area Gold. The 6'3u0022 guard handles the ball well enough to create his own shot, elevates very well on his pull-up in the mid-range, and is a high percentage catch-and-shoot threat. Small college programs should be getting eyes on him this weekend.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":6,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64bb349f124fe"} /-->
