Prep Hoops Missouri continues its team evaluations from last Saturday's Missouri Freshman Showcase, which was held at the Principia School in St. Louis. Here is a look at the members of Team 4.   Will Foulk (DeSmet): The 5'11" point guard was featured as one our GameChangers from the event with his dazzling playmaking and shot making ability. He handled the ball on a string and he did a good job of setting up his teammates. When it came to scoring, he was getting buckets at all three levels and he was creating his own offense off the dribble. His shooting range extended well beyond the 3-point line.   Myles Jelks (Cardinal Ritter): A talented 5'9" point guard with excellent playmaking skills to go along with a high basketball IQ. He has smooth handles and good court vision to deliver the pass to his teammate when he's in a position to score. He had a few no-look passes that were very impressive. He is also a very capable scorer with 3-point shooting range and a nice mid-range pull up jumper.   Sutton Massey (DeSmet): A 6'4" forward who had a very productive day while roaming around in the paint. He had some strong moves inside and he mixed in a touch of finesse. His turnaround jumper in the lane was money. He also battled hard for rebounding position. He also ran the court well to score in the transition game.   Devin Rice (Cardinal Ritter): A 5'6" point guard who has excellent speed and quickness to excel in the open court. He was advancing the ball up court on the break very well with the pass or on the dribble. He is a good shot creator off the dribble and he hit a number of pull up 3-pointers off the bounce. He is also a very good rebounder for his size with his tenacity and willingness to go get the ball.   Reiter Kandlbinder (St. Dominic): A 5'8" guard who was one of the most impressive perimeter shooters that I watched at the event. He was moving around and getting to the open spots to catch and let fly with a high-arching 3-pointer that was touching the bottom of the net. He is also a very capable ball handler who can pass the ball very well.   Will Grus (Columbia Hickman): A 6'3" forward from the Mid Missouri area who had some very strong play around the basket. He was very effective from the high post area as he could deliver the nice pass to an open cutter or drive it to the basket in either direction. He was also getting things done in the low post while also scoring on rim-runs in the transition game.   Hayden Sheehy (Green Hill, TN): A 6'0" small forward who was a very resourceful offensive player. He was very effective around the basket as he took advantage of mismatches to post up smaller guards inside. He was patient inside as he worked his way down low on the dribble with very shifty moves. He could also shoot the 3-pointer off the catch.   Daniel Maher (Francis Howell Central): A 6'0" small forward who plays bigger than his actual size with his physical strength and high motor. He scored on some nice spin moves in the lane and he was also hitting the 12-15 foot jumper off the catch. He also had a couple of plays where he grabbed the rebound and went coast to coast for the layup.   Justin Simmons (Union Grove, GA): A 5'10" guard who was a very good all-purpose player. His most impressive play was a 70-foot bounce pass with his opposite hand, which led to a layup. He has good quickness and athleticism and he excelled on the defensive end. His instincts were excellent, plus he moved his feet well and created turnovers with his quick hands.
