I love the way Ray plays the game and he was the hardest worker I saw in the whole event. He is always giving 100% when he is on the floor and makes chasing down rebounds look easy. He can play very physically inside the paint, looking dominant on both offense and defense. He is a fantastic finisher around the rim, being able to get to either hand for a layup. Brau could go to work in the post as well, having the ability to back down a defender and finish through contact.
Benett used his strong 6’5” frame to dominate inside on Sunday. He was unstoppable when finishing around the rim, being able to maintain control when absorbing contact for a tough finish through traffic. He loved to get to his spin move to create open space for a layup. He was a difference maker on the boards, coming away with contested rebounds on both sides of the ball. Barger also looked good running in the open floor for finishes in transition.
Highlights
Isaiah was very impressive to watch on the offensive side of the ball, being able to score in many different ways from different spots on the floor. He was more than capable of connecting with looks from deep, as I saw him knock down a couple triples off the catch. He also has great touch inside, as well as elite vision, which he used to create easy baskets for his team. Wills was more of a wing than a forward, but could play a kind of positionless basketball when he was out there.
Highlights
Carter Lowis
Carter Lowis
Carter was the tallest freshman at Sunday’s event and showed a lot of potential as a prospect. He moves very well for his size and looked comfortable running in transition and putting the ball on the floor occasionally. He used his size to grab many contested rebounds and was great at finding guards with outlet passes to create opportunities in the open floor. He could finish inside with most of his scores coming from teammates’ passes or following an offensive board.
Gabe Stadler
Gabe Stadler
Gabe was never the tallest player on the floor, but continued to come away with rebounds on both ends of the floor. He has a strong 6-foot frame and could out-muscle any opponent inside. He had different ways he could finish around the basket, including an impressive reverse layup that I saw. He was also very versatile defensively, being able to match up with guards or switch onto bigger players in the pick & roll or when running back in transition.
