2023 Oregon Top 250 Expo – Team Ten Scouting Reports

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's a look at Team Ten:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1951766' first='Michael' last='Arutyunov'] (2025 Century)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Aggressive lead guard that looked to create whenever the ball was in his hands. Didn't settle for jump shots but instead tried to get into the lane for shots for himself or others. Fairly high motor on the defensive end.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2084597' first='Jackson' last='Bluhm'] (2025 Corvallis)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Long and lean guard whose current physical size may have limited him to the perimeter but he made the most out of the opportunities he got. Was available and ready for kickouts and showed a good touch with his shot by knocking down open threes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1585574' first='Ryan' last='Barone'] (2026 Jesuit)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Shooter that has the ability to heat up in a hurry. Lefty, compact stroke and fairly quick release allows the Jesuit sophomore to really run off some points when he gets hot. Can both catch-and-shoot or use a couple of dribbles to free himself to get his shot off.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1910010' first='Demir' last='Johnson'] (2024 Roosevelt)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Last minute fill-in made an impact with his energy level and athleticism. Really fought hard on the boards, wasn't afraid to get physical, and was very active on the defensive end. Once he becomes a consistent finisher inside, watch out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1495722' first='Owen' last='Wark'] (2024 McMinnville)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Solid all-around effort that may not necessarily have shown up on the scoreboard but made some plays without forcing the issue. Good effort on the boards and on defense, looked to make the extra pass, and took the open shot when he had it.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1315381' first='Peyton' last='Bruner'] (2024 Grants Pass)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tough, physical bigger guard at 6-foot-2 who looked to get into the lane and score over defenders. Not afraid of contact and was able to get to the free throw line. Preference seems to be getting to the basket but looked good on some jump shots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1908824' first='Patrick' last='Napierala'] (2024 Lakeridge)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Shooter with good size at 6-foot-4. Capably drained open threes with the top of the key seemingly being his favorite spot. Didn't just settle for outside shots and in addition to getting to the hoop a little, was able to use his physicality to battle on the offensive glass and get putbacks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2205001' first='Luke' last='Jarussi'] (2025 Valley Catholic)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Provided a solid inside presence on the offensive end and converted a number of buckets in the paint. Well built at 6-foot-6, ran the floor well, was tough on the boards, and played good positional defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2123370' first='Kellen' last='Kinder'] (2024 Valley Catholic)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top defensive players at the event, rung up a number of blocked shots inside using his 6-foot-7 size, length, and timing. Was solid on the offense end as well, posting up strong with some fundamental moves and getting some tough finishes around the cup.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1908821' first='Lennon' last='Greenleaf'] (2024 Putnam)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Smaller but fast combo guard at around 5-foot-10. Used shifty dribble to get separation from his defender, especially to shoot long range threes - of which he nailed a handful. Quick first step allowed him to create off the bounce.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
