Mile High Madness: 15U First Team

Keyshaun Lawrence - D1 El Paso Matrix - Chapin (TX) - 2026   <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_0018-crop-3024x1986-1690211768.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_0018-crop-3024x1986-1690211768.jpeg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-2099240" width="286" height="188" /></a></figure>   Lawrence displayed high level scoring upside through his exceptional quickness and change of pace with the ball in his hands. The 5'10 guard had the ball on a string going either direction, often digging into the point of attack defender upon drives. He was not easily moved around by opponents, proving pretty strong with a low center of gravity. Lawrence consistently kept his eyes up to make a play, either getting to drive and kick passes or rising up for the acrobatic finish at the rim. Defensively, Lawrence made it a priority to mitigate anything the opposing ball handler attempted, staying in his athletic stance with wide arms. This was all on top of the constant hustle he brought on every possession, whether crashing the glass or diving for the loose ball.    [player_tooltip player_id='2045266' first='Michael' last='Wilson'] - [program_tooltip program_id='2141788' first='Mad' last='City Mambas'] - Madison West - 2026   <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_0003-crop-3024x1986-1690211824.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_0003-crop-3024x1986-1690211824.jpeg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-2099242" width="253" height="166" /></a></figure>   Wilson was the most physically imposing and dominant guard within the 15U division, simply too strong and quick while attacking downhill. In the semi-final matchup, Wilson scored well over 30 points to get [program_tooltip program_id='2141788' first='Mad' last='City Mambas'] into the 15U finals. Typically getting a large dose of shot attempts at the rim, Wilson was active attacking either left or right. When in position for rebounds, there were few opponents capable of not only out muscling him, but manuevering around as quickly as the 6'3 guard. Wilson is the type of athlete to get up for the defensive rebound, push the pace going coast to coast in a few dribbles and score through the immediate contest with ease. Simply put, Wilson is an absolute freight train while getting downhill, he looked like a man among boys.    [player_tooltip player_id='1561950' first='Quincy' last='Mosley'] - [program_tooltip program_id='2141788' first='Mad' last='City Mambas'] - Madison West - 2026   <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_0002-rotated-crop-3024x1986-1690211893.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_0002-rotated-crop-3024x1986-1690211893.jpeg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-2099244" width="253" height="166" /></a></figure>   Mosley was part of the Mambas two pronged attack along the perimeter, proving incredibly strong and refined as a ball handler. The guard could create plays off the bounce, getting to the with a couple moves. While scoring at the basket Mosley was adept at taking the contact and readjusting for finishes while going straight at the opponents chest mid-air. Few prospects in the 15U group have his level of body control while mid-air, granting him quite a few and-1 opportunities through the weekend. Defensively, Mosley was hustling all over the place for loose balls and defensive rebounds, proving to have exceptional processing speeds no matter the situation.   [player_tooltip player_id='1622288' first='Marquilos' last='Mata'] - [program_tooltip program_id='2075406' first='Hardwood' last='Evolution'] - Smoky Hill - 2026   <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_0012-crop-2548x1673-1690211941.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_0012-crop-2548x1673-1690211941.jpeg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-2099246" width="267" height="175" /></a></figure>   Mata brought value on both ends of the floor, through efficient shotmaking and proactive defensive decisionmaking. At roughly 6'2, the guard was a knockdown shooter all weekend. Coming from transition threes down to turnaround fadeaways in the mid-range, Mata has clearly diversified his shotmaking portfolio. His bread and butter through the event was on those turnaround fades, attacking downhill while being prepared to counter a helpside defense with a shot attempt going the opposite direciton. Defensively, Mata is long and wiry, maximizing his wide reach for steals in the open court. The incoming sophomore was notably active flying across the floor to snatch outlet passes and staying ready at all times to get the steal.   Ryan Kreager - Minnesota Select - Fairbault - 2026   <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_0008-crop-3024x1986-1690211995.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/IMG_0008-crop-3024x1986-1690211995.jpeg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-2099248" width="268" height="176" /></a></figure>   Kreager was a physically strong 6'8 big who provided notable rim defense through helpside blocks. The incoming sophomore got up right around 4+ blocks per game, thanks to his acute positioning on help to not overplay the opponents. Kreager remained active on the defensive glass, seeking box outs or maneuvering into position to secure the rebound. Kreager did not force up many shot attempts, either seeking the efficient bucket at the basket or kicking it out to shotmakers Tanner Rose and Carson McMichael. The big man embodied his role throughout this event.
