Top 250 Showcase: Team 16 Review

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Led by a variety of confident shotmakers, this group boasted intrigue through their balanced shotmaking portfolio inside and out.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1622320' first='Bode' last='Nesbitt'] - Rocky Mountain - 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nesbitt is about as high IQ player as anyone, maximizing his skills on both ends through the event. Although undersized, the guard was active front the post and denying entry passes to opponents. He is a capable playmaker, possessing good vision with the ball either from a standstill or on the attack. He has no trouble getting passes through tight windows, possessing that x-factor timing and decisionmaking as a lead facilitator. Along with his IQ, Nesbitt knocked down multiple three point attempts, stretching out multiple feet behind the arc on a few spot-up attempts.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1577228' first='Sean' last='Morton'] - ThunderRidge - 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"align":"right","id":1589392,"width":372,"height":248,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/09/Sean-Morton1.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/09/Sean-Morton1.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1589392" style="width:372px;height:248px" width="372" height="248" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">[player_tooltip player_id='1577228' first='Sean' last='Morton']</figcaption></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Morton proved to be an especially active help defender, doing well at getting a hand into opponents. He was a natural playing within the offensive flow, often cutting through the middle after passing the ball away.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1874426' first='Blake' last='Charbonneau'] -&nbsp; Chaparral - 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Charbonneau did well pushing the pace in transition, getting out quickly to open up the floor as a shooter. Effective from the corners and wings, Charbonneau understood his skill set and embraced his role throughout the event. The guard showed value tipping away the ball on drives, displaying great hand eye coordination on the defensive end.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nick Quartaro - ThunderRidge - 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Quartaro contributed consistently for this group, knocking down transition threes with ease. The guard has a fairly quick release, effective through his willingness to spread the floor and be a threat.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1622248' first='Sergio' last='Eccher-Salazar'] - Pueblo South - 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Eccher-Salazar pushed the pace in transition, getting downhill when possible. He did well getting to jump stops, utilizing the pivot to get kick out passes to shotmakers. Already boasting a wide reach on the frame, Eccher-Salazar will be an intriguing defensive piece for Pueblo South.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1622247' first='Kymani' last='Eason'] - Overland - 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Eason was active, scoring from beyond and inside the arc, seeking driving lanes and embracing contact. The guard has a quick first step, effective at creating the initial advantage immediately.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2173215' first='James' last='Brown III'] - Vista PEAK Prep - 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brown was an active shooter, capable of knocking down shots in the mid-range and out to the three point line. Most active as a spot-up shooter beyond the arc, Brown could let it fly over a contest. Another aspect of his game is mid-range scoring out of pivots, actively getting to his fadeaway jumpers on the turnaround. Given his consistency maxmizing his gravity at this event, Brown leveraged this for rip throughs and dives to the rim, capable of finishing with either hand. The guard was at his best attacking downhill, often getting to kick out passes in traffic.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jackson Chang - Grandview - 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Chang brought value on the defensive end, staying strong in the paint against opposing forwards. Out of the post, the forward was active kicking out passes to perimeter shooters, often awaiting help defense to arrive. He boasts good size on the frame, no doubt that Chang will be worth keeping tabs on going down the line.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
