Martin is already top 10 ranked in his class and has continuously shown growth in his game throughout the years. He keeps finding ways to elevate himself over everyone else, having such a well rounded game. He is a 6’5″ wing who gets the job done on both sides of the ball, being able to guard all positions too. Kaupanger is playing with World Class Renegades this summer and had a phenomenal weekend, dropping 47 points then 28 points the next game while playing against top talent in the country.
Nirvaan has been hooping with FOH in the EYCL and he has been killing it. He is a big time scorer, smoothly getting buckets from all 3 levels but can also find his open teammates. Opposing players better keep an eye on him or else he will find his way open without the ball in his hands and get open for an easy shot. His jumper release has gotten quicker and more efficient consistently. which is exactly what he needs.
Highlights
Isaac is a great shooter from deep, being ale to get off open shots due to his shifty moves and his movement off ball. He gets downhill nicely, coming off screens hard and keeping his eyes up so he can find his open teammates. Elegan handles the ball at a high level, keeping the ball on a string and barely turning the ball over. He’ll have a huge junior year next year for Renton.
Darek’s game has grown a ton since the high school season is over. Usitalo is dedicated to the game of basketball and knows what he needs to improve on. He rises high on his jumper, having a high release point on his mid-range shot. He plays with a ton of energy, bringing energy to his teammates which causes momentum swings. Darek has been able to handle the ball better as well, pushing the pace in transition.
