He excels in fastbreak situations, either by scoring himself or facilitating for his teammates. Throughout the day, his three-point shooting was accurate. Toliver's ball-handling skills are exceptional, allowing him to execute impressive step-back threes even with defenders in close proximity. On defense, he managed to force a few turnovers. Toliver is a sturdy point guard with a muscular build. What sets him apart is his ability to contribute to the team by making plays for others while still being able to score when his team needs him the most.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2223732,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media","className":"is-style-rounded"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-style-rounded"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/Logan-Eggen.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/Logan-Eggen.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2223732" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Archbishop Bergan's Logan Eggen pulls up over a defender for a nice shot.</figcaption></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Logan Eggen is a towering 6'5" basketball player whose outside shot puts extra pressure on the defense. His robust body frame allows him to carve out space as needed. I have even seen him utilize head fakes, dribble drive, step-backs, and knock down three-point jump shots. He is a player who can take up space in the paint, which benefits both on offense and defense. He had an outstanding performance at the Prep Hoops Top 250 Expo.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2223774,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media","className":"is-style-rounded"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-style-rounded"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/Kristopher-Brown.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/10/Kristopher-Brown.jpg?w=683" alt="" class="wp-image-2223774" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Bellevue East guard Kristopher Brown</figcaption></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kristopher Brown, a 6'2" guard, excels at the little things that coaches value.
