First round of state basketball didn't disappoint with these stars on the court. Check out who stole the show and might've exceeded the expectations. From the athleticism, toughness, these players are leaving it all out on the line.   [player_tooltip player_id='2314754' first='Kaason' last='Thomas']- In the lost to heights, there's no doubt in anyone mind that Kaason did all he could to continue his season. Heights made it extremely tough for him and he made some tough acrobatic shots in the paint. Finishing with 20+ points I'm excited to see the impact he will make at the college level. He showed his quickness, explosiveness and shot making ability.   [player_tooltip player_id='1270094' first='Andrell' last='Burton']- Andrell as we all know is a pure athlete. He can run and jump with the best of them. Getting chase down blocked shots, finishing above the rim almost throwing the ball in, his athleticism is second to none and will translate very well to Drake University with his ability to play uptempo.   [player_tooltip player_id='1270090' first='TJ' last='Williams']- TJ, the shocker signee seems to be getting very familiar with his new court next year dominating both ends of the floor. He's showing everyone he can defend, handles the ball well, you know about his jumping ability but is effort right now is through the rough. Williams is playing through contact and showing elite toughness.   [player_tooltip player_id='1588339' first='Amalachi' last='Wilkins']- Wilkins is being the ultimate paint protector. You can't go in the paint and not have to see Amalachi. He's a smart defender, he doesn't jump at everything, he make sure he's the second jumper and still blocks shots consistently.   [player_tooltip player_id='1962885' first='Chase' last='Robinson']- Chase finished with 25 points, probably the biggest surprise for people with how much he's staring in his role. Chase has been consistent from summer basketball to playoff state basketball. He had the task of guarding Andrell meanwhile having an offensive to do list to be a threat on the other end and didn't disappoint on either end.
