Continue ReadingThe live period kicks off this weekend, and here is Part 2 of a few players I have seen the past few weekends that can change the trajectory of a game with their ability to knock down the trey ball. To qualify for this article, players had to make a minimum of three threes in the game I saw them play.
Milak Myatt (6’3/’27/KLow 16U)
Platform: 3SSB
Milak is a young talent who can stroke the rock from deep. He has good size as a developing young prospect, and the fact that he has found a niche early will only help him grow into a prospect worth keeping an eye on. Teams are always looking for players who can space the floor with the trey ball, which is a reason he is a prospect worth taking a look at this weekend.
Nolen Anderson (6’6/’26/D1 Minnesota 16U)
Platform: 3SSB
Nolen is a lengthy wing who scores very well from the perimeter and a swingman with a promising floor game. He moves well without the ball and can get into his shots when navigating screens and DHOs. His presence is felt on both ends of the floor due to his versatility, but his ability to shoot the trey makes him the most dangerous.
DeShawn Dillon (6’4/’27/ Houston Raptors 15U)
Platform: 3SSB
DeSahwn is a talented multi-level scorer. He has good positional size and is highly athletic. He is a tough iso scorer and a good ball-handling practitioner in ball screens. He shot the midi well but also shot it well from behind the arc. His ability to knock down the trey makes him one of the most challenging young prospects to defend that I have seen thus far.
Cole Szewczyk (6’2/’25/J-Uno 17U)
Platform: Pro16
I don’t have the numbers on Cole’s performance against Ballers Nation, but the truth is he can absolutely shoot the rock. His presence on the floor makes it easy for his teammates, as they have open lanes to attack because his man has to stay attached. He doesn’t need much space to get his shot off, and it got to a point where many were shocked when he missed.
Tyler Henry (5’8/’25/Ballers Nation 17U)
Platform: Pro16
Tyler is a small but heady PG who does a good job orchestrating the offense. He impacts both ends of the floor with his gritty play. He is a knockdown shooter from behind the arc and can get into his shot off the bounce or the catch. He may be small, but he keeps defenders honest with his threat of knocking down the long ball.
Davon Scott (6’3/’25/Southern Ties 17U)
Platform: Pro16
Davon is an off guard who can get going from outside and fill up the score sheet. He is tough off the bounce and can get to the cup and finish amongst the trees. He has a solid middle game, but he really stands out with his ability to shoot the three. In the game I watched him compete, he went 6-7 from behind the arc and really showed the potency of his long-range shot.
