Luxem is a high-level playmaker. He has good height for a point guard and length. He uses this week to be able to see the entire court. He always has his head up when he is driving. Luxem is pass first so he drives with the intent to find an open teammate. He does just that every time. He has a high basketball IQ and makes reads fast. For the 8am time slot, he brought outstanding energy. He has fun when he plays and you can tell.
Highlights
Follis is a bucket-getter. He is a very skilled guard out of Wisconsin. He makes shots in the midrange and beyond the arch. He is good at making them off balance and fading away. He is great off the dribble and pulling up to knock it down. He has a good touch around the rim as well. I like Follis a lot because of his skill set.
Highlights
Joey Navels
Joey Navels
I liked what I saw from navels earlier today. He was getting it done for Nova Village Brown 16U. He is a good athlete who can get to his spot on the court consistently. He pushes pace well. He is a really good passer and has a good balance of being a scoring threat. He can shoot it. He has good range and confidence. He is a calm and pose player. Never seems to get out of control.
Pekovic is a nice modern-day forward. He is a strong kid and can shoot it. He is a great pick-n-pop option as he is a knockdown catch-n-shot player. If you leave him open he will make you pay. That’s what happened this morning. He also did some damage on the inside as well. He is patent in the paint and has good footwork.
Johnson is a good athlete that can do a little of everything on the court. He is a good slasher that gets to the rim often. His strength allows him to dictate contact and finish through it. He plays hard on the defensive end. His size for the guard allows him to dictate a lot of physical play that most other guards do not want to play against. He also had great energy and he was constantly talking and cheering when he was on the bench.
