Malachi is going to step into a much bigger role for Lynden next year with them graduating some big time role players on their roster. This AAU season is a big one for Bowman and so far he has been taking advantage of the opportunities coming his way. He suited up with Sammamish Select the other weekend and dominated the weekend. He out-rebounded opponents with ease, showing off tremendous athleticism. He knocks down mid range jumpers smoothly too. Bowman is a name to watch.
Hunter had a big freshman season for the Storm and did a great job at being the main offensive option for the team. He grew a ton as a leader on the court, being able to facilitate the offense at a high level and help grow his teammates games in impactful ways. He finds his spots for his midrange nicely and has been improving his ball strength and ability to finish around the rim through traffic.
Highlights
Gannon is an absolute stud on the basketball court. He hs made his game much more well rounded. He can guard a variety of positions on the defensive side of the ball, having quick feet and a strong core, being able to guard players a bit bigger than him. Dykstra can JUMP out of the gym, seeming like he is floating in the air when rising up for a jumper. He’ll be a main option for the Lyncs next season.
Caden is a fantastic facilitator on the court. He has a high basketball IQ and knows what he needs to improve on after reviewing his film. He finds the weakspots in his game and puts in work to improve it. His ability to catch and shoot has evolved, as he uses his legs more to have a higher release point. He is strong with the ball, being able to protect the ball when defenders play close one on one defense. I think Caden will do great things for Nooksack Valley next season.
Highlights
Jonah Brillowsky
Jonah Brillowsky
Jonah is a player who has been flying under the radar. Last season he had a breakout year for the Golden Eagles and averaged a double double on the court as a junior. He can knock down the deep shot well, being more efficient off the catch. He handles the ball well for his size and is a big time athlete. Brillowsky isn’t afraid to rise up on opposing players and dunk on them, as he can get well above the rim. His defensive game is very solid, he can move his feet to deep opposing players in front of him and being physical down low in the paint.
