Branson went unconscious in the game I watched him play. He started and ended the game hot. He was a sniper from downtown and had serious range. He had confidence and swag to him that made him able to shoot it with no space. He was hunting for his shots. He got them off extremely quick. He had good footwork and made teams pay for not knowing where he was at all times.
Highlights
Ian Polonowski
Ian Polonowski
Polonowski is NICE. He is a 6’6 prospect who can hoop. He has a nice shot and this allows to to stretch the floor as he played forward for his team. He moves really well on the defensive end which allows him to guard multiple positions and play in any lineup. He showed some good post moves as well. I like this kid’s game a lot. Can do a little of it all due to his skill.
Daoust was the engine for the Wisconsin Crusaders 17U team. He was getting the offense started. He is very fundamental. He can get to the rim and create. He shoots the ball well. He just does a little bit of it all. He handles pressure well and is a sneaky good rebounder. He is really strong for a point guard and his size.
Highlights
Kendrick Duru
Kendrick Duru
Duru is an elite slasher. He gets to his right hand and good luck stopping him. He is an elite finisher. He had some amazing finishes through contact and off-balance. He has a next-level touch around the rim. He has played harder than anyone I have seen this weekend. He got so many second-chance rebounds and loose balls due to his hustle. He gave 100% in every moment he was on the floor. This led his team to a double OT win.
