Continue ReadingThe Dakotas Spring Exposure Session in Fargo, North Dakota was a guard-oriented event, but that doesn’t mean there wasn’t any length at the event. Because there was. There was a handful of lengthy prospects with youth, skill, and upside in their favor.
Kambal is an off-guard/wing that was one of the most active and energetic prospects at the event. He has superbly long arms with a lanky frame. He was defending all over the court and showed the ability to rise up and get off the ground. High motor with conditioning. He was an offensive threat with his ability to attack and pull-up and rise into a jumper.
Highlights
Brody is a very long 2-guard/wing at 6’6”. Maybe the longest and lankiest arms at the event. Roams on the perimeter, where he’s looking for his three-point shot.
Kade was the tallest and longest prospect in Fargo. Super long arms that allow him to defend at the rim and board the ball as it comes off the rim. Ran the floor quickly, earning easy buckets around the rim.
Going into the event, I knew who Sage was, but I had him pegged as more of an interior player. But he showed more offensive versatility than I had envisioned. Don’t get me wrong, he’s still a load to handle at 6’8”, but his ability to stretch the floor was nice to see. Runs the floor and showed elite fluidity at his size. Can handle it and pass as well. A little bit of a rarity as a prospect.
Highlights
Nelson is a long 2027, standing at 6’6”. He’s going to develop even more physically, and I’m intrigued to what his physical profile upside and results actually are. He could easily put on size and muscle on his frame if he goes that route.
Highlights
Oakley was the most intriguing guard/wing with length, in my opinion. A combination of youth, length, shooting ability, skills, and confidence.
Highlights
Ryder has a basketball players frame and length that you look for from the 2-guard spot. He’s been ascending all year and it looks to be continuing into the offseason.
Becker has all the physical tools to blossom into a great prospect. A Sophomore with varsity starting experience at Aberdeen Christian, let’s see him take his skills and handle to the next level. Already sees the floor well and can find open teammates.
I thought Cody showed a nice skill-set at his length. Could put the ball on the floor in transition and is a skilled and accurate passer. Great defensive awareness and approach.
Kayson is a long 6’6” lefty shooter that stretches the floor from the 4 position. A willing ball-screener, where he’ll roll or pop out to shoot the three. Active and in constant movement. A thin frame.
Highlights
Skogsberg has already been mentioned as a standout from the event. But it hasn’t been mentioned that he handled the ball from the point as well. He showed the ability to breakdown a defender very easily with his handles, especially his long and quick crossover.
