That included some good old fashioned bucket getters. These were players that could just flat out score when their team needed points. Let’s look at a few bucket getters from the 16u division at the Cream City Collision.
Joling was ver impressive at the Cream City Collision. He showed elite athleticism and body control off the dribble. Joling was smooth with the ball and active without it. He showed the ability to score in a variety of ways, from a jumper to an athletic finish in the open floor. It felt like he could score almost any offensive possession, and he did just that when his team needed it the most.
Highlights
Evans was very impressive when I saw him play. Drive Pro Select was physically strong and very aggressive, and Evans was a solid piece of that. He did a nice job manufacturing and finding looks at the rim. Evans was nimble in traffic and showed comfort in his ability to change direction. He could shoot and score off the bounce and had to be challenged with high hands.
Highlights
Slack was one of the most impressive offensive players in the gym. He averaged just under 27 points per game over the course of the Cream City Collision, including topping 30 points twice. Slack was long and athletic and could find the rim at any time. He rose up high on his jumpers and shot over closeouts. Slack showed the ability to score at all 3 levels. D1’s probably want to take a long hard look at this young man.
Highlights
Ayite Atayi definitely caught my eye with his play with Wisconsin Hoops Select 2026. He averaged about 12 points per game at the event and they felt even bigger. Ayite Atayi was able to use his sneaky handles and ability to find lanes in traffic. He also showed that he could finish with control and creativity. I was most impressed with Ayite Atayi’s ability to create and score in big game moments.
