Ramsey’s Saturday Notebook – Eight Indiana Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Per usual, I had boots on the ground throughout the day on Saturday covering two events between Farmers Bank Fieldhouse in Lebanon and the Pacers Athletic Center in Westfield. Now that the 12+ hour day is in the books it is time to highlight some of the top individual performers from the two events. Let's dive right in.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1297028"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Playing in front of a pair of Crossroads League programs that have offered him, Betten put on a strong display of his talented early on Saturday morning.

He had an early putback dunk and then a huge slam on the roll that were as impressive of above-the-rim finishes that I've seen from the 6'8u0022 forward playing with Indiana Elite. That added burst, along with knocking down a couple of three-point shots like he did, could really unlock his potential as a high-major prospect.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1170053"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"This Richmond High School guard played very well to start the morning off for [program_tooltip program_id='2076166' first='Grand' last='Park Premier'] Pro16.

It almost isn't fair to even call his shooting ability u0022improvedu0022 anymore because it was very good during this past high school season too, but he has come a long way in our eyes from when he was younger.

Townsend has an excellent pull-up game for his size, handles the ball well, and also connected on three three-point shots.
