Continue ReadingLiam Farniok Liam Farniok 6’3″ | SG Minneapolis Southwest | 2024 State MN is a six-foot-three-inch guard from Minnesota Southwest. Farniok was a primetime scorer in 2022-23 scorin 24 points per game. Athletic enough to finish above the rim, shifty enough to get seperation for mid-range jumpers, and has solid vision in screen actions. Farniok can finish at the rim, and is strong enough to battle through defenders for tough baskets.
Highlights
Dominic Fairbanks Dominic Fairbanks 5’10” | PG Cass Lake-Bena | 2024 State MN has spent time playing at the 17U level, last year with Playmakers North and now 2023 with ECI Prospects. Biggest differences I seen was Fairbanks going from off the ball to the on the ball. Getting the opportunity to lead the offense in a large portion of their possessions, Fairbanks showcased his abilities as a pure-point instead of just an off-ball sniper. Fairbanks ability to shoot the ball didn’t stop however. In a game at the Hard Work Finals Fairbanks knocked down four triples in as many shots.
Hunter Lorenson Hunter Lorenson 6’0″ | PG Lake City | 2024 State MN is a five-foot-eleven-inch guard from Lake City and played the spring and summer with the Minnesota Comets. Early in the AAU year Lorenson seemed to not able find his footing. In June nearly all that seemed to be in his past. Lorenson still with his solid dribble pull-up at the elbow was working but he now had worked in a outside jumper, and was consistently making lay-ups on his way to the rim.
Kevin Armstrong II Kevin Armstrong II 6’6″ | SG Breck | 2024 State MN is a six-foot-four-inch wing from Breck that played Minnesota Heat Jones this spring and summer. Armstrong has always tweened between forward and wing, but after June I comfortably can say he’s a solid wing. The ball handling has taken a step up, as well as his off the dribble jump shot. Armstrong now is a bit more versatile on defense since he’s capable of guarding some four’s but an increased ability on the perimeter makes him more fluid at positions.

DeMarcus BUrks
DeMarcus Burks is a six-foot-two-inch guard from Lakeville South and played Minnesota Select this spring and summer. Burks really came alive for Select in the June and July periods. Increase attacking the basket overpowering smaller guards and making outside shots enough that defenses had to respect him. Defensively Burks can float between both guard spots and also take on some wings.
Brody Wishart Brody Wishart 6’2″ | SG Buffalo | 2024 State MN is a six-foot-two-inch guard from Buffalo that played Real Phenom this spring and summer, and one weekend played Minnesota Comets. One game at the end of June Wishart scored 20 in a half in which he made 5 three’s, and in a number of contest Wishart really lit up the perimeter on catch and shoot 3’s. Wishart has a high offensive basketball IQ, especially when passing the basketball. On an undersized Real Phenom team Wishart held up defensively, even when matched versus larger players.
