However is a talented and fundamentally sound two guard prospect. Stand out contest was a Saturday morning victory over Kentucky's 502 Elite. Got hot from beyond the arc in the close contest.

Simply moved around the court at a different pace than his opponents. Showed the athleticism to make plays in the air. Could hang and wait for teammates to get open. If they didn't, he was often high enough to complete an acrobatic layup. As you would expect with the top level speed. Was also a major factor defensively. Collecting a significant number of steals on the weekend. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2395245' first='Jackson' last='Kirura'] 6-4 Genoa Christian Academy (OH) </strong>Lanky and versatile forward had an excellent weekend for Mr22elite. Very slender frame. However played with wiry strength and did not shy away from contact. Operated well in the mid range. As he had the size and elevation to rise over most defenders. Made plays at the rim with the aforementioned length and quick second jump. Had quick hands on defense and collected his fair share of steals and defections. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Magnus Johnson 6-6 Chicago DePaul Prep (IL) </strong>Projectable post had an excellent weekend leading LVL Basketball to an undefeated weekend. Has a lanky frame that helps him play larger than his listed height. Fluid athlete who ran the court well for size. Plays in an excellent developmental program. Should fill out well and fulfill his obvious potential. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Holden Smith 5-11 Ryle (KY) </strong>Small but heady point guard had an excellent weekend. Leading Kentucky Storm to an undefeated record. Made up for the smaller stature with a strong upper body. Handled heavy pressure well in a nip and tuck final victory over Cleveland area G Mode. Frequently snaked through heavy full court pressure to find open teammates and score at the rim. Was right handed before excelled going to the left. Wanted the ball in his hands late. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
