Madness In The Midwest: Saturday Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These prospects separated themselves from the pack on Saturday morning in Appleton:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1561958' first='Donovan' last='Cowley'] -- G -- Manitowoc United</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cowley has had an excellent weekend in Appleton. The Manitowoc United guard is a skilled operator on the offensive end of the court. When he has the ball in his hands, Cowley is an impossible cover. As a slasher, the guard gets downhill in a hurry and can finish through contact. He is also a sharpshooter who defenders must respect from deep. Cowley was certainly a standout performer on Saturday. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2395592' first='Lucas' last='Glaus'] -- PG -- CV Select </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Glaus possesses many of the qualities that college programs look for in a point guard. As a ballhandler, Glaus makes good decisions. He typically takes his time and makes sure that he takes care of the rock. Glaus is also a more than capable scorer. He can drain threes and score on cuts and layups. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2416723' first='Marshall' last='Mason'] -- G -- [program_tooltip program_id='2110787' first='Wisconsin' last='26ers']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mason was no doubt one of the best scorers in the gym on Saturday. The [program_tooltip program_id='2110787' first='Wisconsin' last='26ers'] guard couldn't be stopped. He made several threes, knocked down midrange shots, and got to the cup. With plenty of confidence as a scorer, Mason is a prospect who opposing teams will need to gameplan for moving forward. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2399128' first='Talan' last='Reinhart'] -- G -- [program_tooltip program_id='2110787' first='Wisconsin' last='26ers']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Reinhart recorded several incredible finishes on Saturday. The [program_tooltip program_id='2110787' first='Wisconsin' last='26ers'] standout guard was one of the slickest players in the building. Reinhart owns incredible touch that just can't be taught. The guard still has some room for improvement (who doesn't at this stage?), but the early returns have been impressive. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2381983' first='Nathan' last='Owata'] -- SF -- WOTN</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Owata's frame and size immediately stood out to me. He isn't the biggest prospect in the world, but he certainly puts his positional size to good use. Owata's activity and effort in the paint on both ends was incredible. The small forward demonstrated an ability to step outside and play on the perimeter as well. Overall, Owata was able to boost his stock on Saturday. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Max Blandin -- G -- WOTN</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Blandin was handing out all sorts of buckets on Saturday. The guard could not be slowed down. As a shot creator, Blandin is excellent. He makes outside shots with ease and can also knife his way into the paint and finish around the hoop. In the midrange, the guard is a killer. Using footwork and handles, Blandin creates space and knocks down shots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1561925' first='Andrew' last='Jensen'] -- PF -- All Wisconsin</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I think that Jensen has a chance to be a really special defender. You just don't see many prospects impact games the way that the All Wisconsin power forward did on Saturday. In the paint, Jensen swallows up shots with authority. The shots he does not block, he still is able to impact. The value that the PF adds can't be measured. I am very excited to see Jensen compete in the future. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
