SubscribeIt is exciting to see the youngsters start to get things going and we would like to watch some of these players closely as they get set to play in one of the best leagues in the Mountain West in the Youngblood League. Here are a few players we are excited to watch play.
Easton Hansen || Dream Team ||
Graham Moultrie || Davis Darts ||
Graham is a player that if he is open he is going to shoot at a high percentage. He is knockdown shooter in the corner, eventually when teams start scouting they can put Graham in a place that has his defender helping and with a solid PG at the helm they will find him and he will be a big time dangerous threat out there on the perimeter.
Jackson Ford || Blueprint ||
Eli Mulford || Salt City Hustle ||
Eli comes from a big time hooping family, you can expect him to have a shot and a handle. Eli is a slashing guard right now and he will only add more to his bag, so we are excited to see what he brings to the Youngblood League this coming season.
Dieter Tuitavuki || Think Swish ||
Dieter has big soft hands and he has been an undersized forward at the national level but he is going to have a hay day playing the 4 as is a big time threat especially when he catches the ball on the move. When he starts working those baby hooks over both shoulders he is going to get a whole new dimension to his game.
Kirabo Nadauld || Titans ||
This kid has som much upside as he is still new to the game. You can kind of see the newness to the game at times but he has some really solid natural talent. He is lightning in a bottle for sure. He can get downhill and when he does he can hang and finish in many different ways. His outside shooting is getting better, so watch out, he is going to be a pick your poison type of a player.
Trayce McKinley || Wardell Elite ||
Dominick Soto || Salt Lake Sonics ||
Mac Livingston || Think Swish ||
Mac has some size and he might be a player that stretches the floor with that size and perimeter ability. He is a true outside threat and he could be a trail big that knocks them down or simply a player you can give the ball to at the top of the key and they can run offense.
Luke Wray || Davis Darts ||
Luke has to be one of the best players in this class as he is a go get you a bucket type of a prospect. He knows how to use angles and he can just go straight line drive and get to the rim. If he doesn’t finish there is a high likely hood that he will get to the line. He is working on that mid-range game but he has a very mature game for sure.
