Let's get to know their games.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2386772' first='Sam' last='Zaderaka'] | Earnest Academy </h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2411852,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/IMG_9350_9e1256-rotated.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/IMG_9350_9e1256-rotated.jpeg?w=768" alt="" class="wp-image-2411852" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Zaderaka comes to play and is locked-in from tip-off. Plays tight defensive coverage on and off-ball and is pressuring heavily, in near perfect defensive position. Runs the floor quickly and with high IQ. A composed offensive player as well, he has all the necessary skills and is money from three, where he's normally shot-ready.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2384046' first='Lucas' last='Ginskey'] | Huskies</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2411854,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/IMG_8768-rotated.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/IMG_8768-rotated.jpeg?w=768" alt="" class="wp-image-2411854" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A smooth-moving guard that somewhat glides on the court. Can cover some ground with length and instincts. Going after steals and gambling defensively, he created turnovers and problems for the offense. Offensively, he can handle and pass the ball and find openings and teammates.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2383963' first='Ashton' last='Wilkemeyer'] | Huskies</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2411857,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/IMG_8751.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/IMG_8751.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2411857" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ashton was one of the bigger prospects at 6'3”. Is a true big that moves, considering modern day basketball. I thought he played physical and he wanted to rebound the ball every time a shot went up. Boxed-out consistently and used his frame in that regards. A big that will play with power off of two feet once he's near the rim. Competed and competed for the ball, specifically.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2384001' first='Logan' last='Wilker'] | Huskies </h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2411858,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/IMG_9006.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/IMG_9006.jpeg?w=797" alt="" class="wp-image-2411858" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wilker stood out to me more after going back and watching the games. He really really competed and was doing so every play. Played quickly up and down the court. Pressured the ball and was trying to create turnovers and disruption. Played transition and attacked the middle of the lane quite often. Got to his floater-game, with a few different options. Got off the ground easily and could hang in the air. Defended the hoop and was some sort of a guard rim/hoop protector.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
