Top 250 Expo Session 1: New Names to Know

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Expo is the best place to learn about new names and new players. Here are some of those names. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2175452' first='Great' last='Emadamerho'] of Champlin Park (6'5 Forward, 2026). Another name surfacing from Champlin Park that we think is going to help their program going forward. Great is strong and moves well in a frame that has a lot of room to mature and be an even bigger force. On two different occasions he was fed the ball and went on deep paint scoring runs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1288652' first='Caiden' last='Ehrman'] of Chanhassen (6'1 Shooting Guard, 2024). A shooter that I thought did well for Heat Jones this well and then yesterday I thought he confidently stepped into shots and knocked down buckets at the arc without issue. Could step into a varsity role as a shooter adding depth to that Storm line-up. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1874859' first='Isiah' last='Ford'] of Apple Valley (6'3 Wing, 2024). I would say Ford was the most consistent, reliable player on his team the game I watched. Had the best mix of shot selection in terms of taking the right high percentage shots, and Ford worked for those shots to be high percentage as opposed to trying flashy low percentage looks. Scored on 6 of 11 attempts. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2175447' first='Dorar' last='Kuey'] of Austin (6'1 Guard, 2026). One of the best first impressions made yesterday came from Dorar, an explosive guard that nobody could stop off the dribble. He hit his pull-up, Kuey slashed to the cup and scored, and there is some bounce to his long guard who has a lot of room to mature into an explosive player. Keep an eye on Dorar at Austin, the potential is there. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rylan McPipe of Cooper (5'8 Point Guard, 2026). Rylan is a quick, shifty guard that explodes off his move and has a quick jumper that he made in good numbers. Liked his ball pressure and I really liked how quickly he got things started setting up teammates with quick transition passes or kicks to the wing off his attack. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1560870' first='Elvis' last='Neckles'] of Park Center (6'1 Guard, 2026). Neckles is a stronger young guard with a confident shooting touch. Knocked out three threes in the game I watched plus had some good attacks that led to scores for his team. Coming off a great 15u season with the Splash, Neckles should have a nice season for the Pirate JV moving into the second year of high school.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
