In one game, he calmly drained a 25 footer at the buzzer to send the game into overtime. The slender sniper can also create his own shot off the dribble and get to the rim. He also displayed some nice playmaking skills as he dropped a few impressive no-look dimes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2081051,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_3883.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_3883.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2081051" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1430535' first='Brayden' last='Gardner'] (St Dominic): The 6'2 2024 guard was lighting it from 3-point range when he got his open looks. He moved well and he was very good at setting screens to get himself open. He also passed the ball very well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2081059,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_3879.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_3879.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2081059" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2131954' first='Gavin' last='Holdman'] (Jackson): The 6'5 2024 forward from the SEMO area is an impressive athlete who played with plenty of bounce around the basket. He threw down at least a couple of dunks per game. He had solid inside moves to score. He also displayed his versatility by grabbing rebounds and leading the fast break.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2081067,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_3882.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_3882.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2081067" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Preston Listerud (Osceola): A 5'11 2025 point guard with a solid build who used his strength to get into the lane off the bounce. He was hitting the stop and pop jumper off the bounce as well as the 3-pointer from the corner.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2081077,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_3880.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_3880.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2081077" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mar'Lon Hickman-Roberson (Poplar Bluff): The 6'1 2024 guard had a strong performance with his ability to score in a variety of ways. He was scoring at all three levels comfortably. He was hitting 3-pointers off the catch and on the step back. His pull up in the mid range was smooth and under control. He was one of those under the radar players who really helped himself at the event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2081083,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_3881.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_3881.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2081083" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rashad Smith (Pattonville): A 6'5 2024 lefty forward who has a nice turn and face game from the high post. He can knock down the elbow jumper and he could also hit defenders with the pump fake a dribble move to the basket. He also set solid screens and scored on the roll down.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2081089,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_3884.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_3884.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2081089" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1935914' first='Jamile' last='Johnson'] (Parkview): A 6'8 2024 forward who did a good job rebounding and blocking shots in the paint.
