He was constantly on the move as he was attacking the basket in the transition game. He also displayed the ability to get a bucket at all three levels. He could put together points in bunches when he got it really going.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1963521,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/IMG_0890.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/IMG_0890.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1963521" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2090481' first='Jason' last='Stokes'] (MICDS): A 6'3" combo guard who did an excellent job of getting buckets on slashing drives in the lane. He has good length and he covers a lot of space with his long stride. His ability to drive opened things up for him from the perimeter as he also made a number of 3-pointers. He is also a capable playmaker as a ball handler and passer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2115249,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/IMG_5283.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/IMG_5283.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2115249" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2539661' first='Alex' last='Hessler'] (Lindbergh): A 6'3" forward who was quietly putting in work around the basket by scoring inside in a variety of ways. He had a number of good second effort plays on the offensive boards as he got tip-ins and putbacks. He had good moves inside, including a nice spin in traffic to score and he also made good use of pump fakes against taller players.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2027</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2115255,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/IMG_5263.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/IMG_5263.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2115255" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tyler Ray (MICDS): A 6'1" wing player who has good physical strength and a good set of fundamentals. He could overpower defenders with strong takes to the basket off the dribble to get tough buckets. He was also stepping out and knocking down 3-pointers as well. He is an excellent rebounder for his size as he gets excellent position and he has a quick jump around the basket. He was definitely a matchup problem.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2115256,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/IMG_5264.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/08/IMG_5264.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2115256" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Devin Rice (Cardinal Ritter): A 5'6" point guard with excellent speed and quickness and he knew how to use it to his advantage without getting out of control. He was a blur in the open court and he was tough on his dribble penetration, which resulted in floaters and short jumpers. He also played off the ball well and hit a number of 3-pointers off the catch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>******<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":1957744,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/Karson-Gerdeman.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/Karson-Gerdeman.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1957744" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2338877' first='Karson' last='Gerdeman'] (St Charles West): A 5'9" point guard who has good playmaking skills and a nice feel for the game, which is not surprising as he is a coach's son. He is tight on the dribble and he was able get by some quick guards with nice escape moves to get into the lane. He also has a nice shooting stroke from 3-point range. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>(The Prep Hoops Top 250 Expo will be held on September 30 at Principia School.
