Sportradar Show Down: Best Wings

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>LAS VEGAS — Basketball analytics company Sportradar threw its inaugural grassroots event this weekend at Coronado high school in Las Vegas. The three-day event featured matchups between some of the top programs from the Adidas 3SSB and Under Armour Association circuits. Below is a breakdown of the top guard performers from Friday's action.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1076361' first='Ari' last='Fulton'], Team Curry</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I put Fulton in the “power wing” type of category due to his physicality when driving and finishing in transition and half court settings. The 6-foot-6 rising senior has a well-built frame and he knows how to use it when powering through and absorbing contact in the lane. What I liked most about Fulton was his willingness to crash the offensive glass and create second chance opportunities for his team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1056969' first='Brody' last='Kozlowski'], Utah Prospects</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kozlowski has been one of the hotter names on the recruiting board all summer long and this event did nothing but enhance that. The 6-foot-7 forward flashed his stretch-four skill-set Friday at Coronado as was nearly automatic on three-point shots with his feet set. Kozlowski is a great ball screener and popper into catch and shoot three's but can also put the ball on the deck, attack the rim and absorb and finish through contact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1298532' first='Jaxon' last='Johnson'], Utah Prospects</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Johnson is another Utah player whose recruitment has been on fire. The long, wiry 6-foot-9 forward is a floor spacer with his catch and shoot touch from three-point range while his length, lateral mobility and defensive IQ make us believe he can be a multi-positional defender at the next level. Johnson's offensive versatility is evident with his passing ability and willingness to screen to get himself or a teammate open.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='955591' first='Justin' last='Johnson'], [program_tooltip program_id='2076347' first='SOH' last='Elite']</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Johnson is a highly versatile wing whose fluid athleticism, ball skills, and feel off the bounce when creating for himself or teammates stood out to go along with his wiry 6-foot-8 frame. Johnson's inside-out scoring feel was equally impressive as he knocked down perimeter jumpers to open up his driving lanes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1127315' first='Khani' last='Rooths'], New World&nbsp;</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rooths jumped out as one of the more skilled wings in the event and that, along with his length, effortless athleticism and all-around feel for the game makes us think he's also one of the highest upside players we saw. Rooths has dribble and score ability in the lane with mid-range jumpers and downhill attacks to the rim but he also flashed vision and playmaking feel at 6-feet-8.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
