Dakotas Freshman Showcase: Second-Team All-Showcase

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Who were some more standouts at the Dakotas Freshman Showcase? The second-team all-showcase team also features talent, solid physical profiles, and athleticism. Prep Hoops Dakotas has six more prospects that stood out with the initial eye test.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1657449' first='Weston' last='Scott'] | 6'0 | G | 2027 | Bismarck (ND) | Impact/[program_tooltip program_id='2078372' first='ECI' last=''] | </strong>It was very difficult for me to leave Weston off the first-team, so he headlines the second-team. He has some length to him and he's a high-flyer, as you'll see in the featured image above. He was in attack-mode and was scoring in the half-court and in transition. Such an effective slasher and driver to the hoop, with his quick first-step and long strides. Crashed the boards hard and was skying overtop to secure the ball. He had times where he would go coast-to-coast on his own and finish at the hoop easily. He was tough to slow down or stop.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2059565' first='Boden' last='Stevenson'] | 6'0 | G | 2027 | Hamlin (SD) | </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2131337,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/IMG_5076-rotated-crop-3024x1986-1692624418.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/IMG_5076-rotated-crop-3024x1986-1692624418.jpeg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-2131337" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Boden is another lengthy guard that possesses long arms and upside. He has a smooth and finesse game, where he can handle the ball and shoot the rock. Some jumping ability and movement skills. Solid all-around profile.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1651919' first='Ryder' last='Majkrzak'] | 5'8 | G | 2027 | Horace (ND) | ECI | </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2131375,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/IMG_5077-rotated-crop-3024x1986-1692626841.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/IMG_5077-rotated-crop-3024x1986-1692626841.jpeg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-2131375" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ryder was the best overall shooter at the event, so he's deserving of a mention here. A pure three-point shooter with a quick release. Absolutely cannot leave this kid open. A prospect, that if he hits a solid growth spurt, could be a major stock-riser and recruit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2132827' first='Tyler' last='Bruske'] | 6'2 | G | 2027 | Sioux Falls Jefferson (SD) |</strong> <strong>[program_tooltip program_id='2222672' first='Sanford' last='Sports Academy'] |</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2131448,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/IMG_5035-rotated.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/IMG_5035-rotated.jpeg?w=768" alt="" class="wp-image-2131448" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bruske possess a solid and mature build. A slasher that uses his strong frame to finish through contact. Good vertical, athleticism, and overall solid physical and athletic profile combination. A versatile defender that can defend size in the paint and has quick feet to defend quick guards. He'll have a college-level build when he's a high school upperclassman.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2128939' first='Colby' last='Nuttbrock'] | 6'3 | G/F | 2027 | Sioux Falls Jefferson (SD) |</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2131532,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/IMG_5068-rotated.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/IMG_5068-rotated.jpeg?w=768" alt="" class="wp-image-2131532" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Colby is another prospect with length at 6'3. Sioux Falls Jefferson has some up-and-comers and he'll be one of them. A solid motor is what I recall most about him. A no-fluff game where he'll attack as well. Had a solid and consistent jumper.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2129548' first='Kyler' last='Kenyon'] | 6'3 | F/C | 2027 | Sioux Falls Lincoln | [program_tooltip program_id='2222672' first='Sanford' last='Sports Academy']</strong> <strong>|</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2131544,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/IMG_5034-rotated-e1692634674564.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/IMG_5034-rotated-e1692634674564.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2131544" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kyler was probably top 3 in terms of overall size at the event. He could bang down low and could also play on the perimeter. Seemed like he had a good understanding of the game and was a great passer and facilitator for a big. Moved well without the ball and was keeping the offense spaced and moving. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
