Collins boosted his stock during a state championship run at the 6A level with Shawnee Mission Northwest. He’s the perfect compliment to talent and has come into his own during the grassroots season. A strong shooter who will do productive things without the ball in his hands. He’s smart and makes the right play whether passing or shooting. At 6’4 he has the size to compete at multiple defensive spots as well.
Highlights
It’s easy to like what Mohamed brings to the floor because he’s an active 6’7 body. He gets off the floor quickly and can guard in space. Both are signs of great agility and impressive lateral quickness. His second jump as a shot blocker is another strength of his. On offense he can be used as a roll man or someone who makes the short push shot. He’ll rebound misses on the offensive glass for easy buckets as well. Attends Blue Springs South.

Chase is bringing a nice element of speed to this Spurs 16u squad. He’s a quick floor general that understands the game and sees the floor well. A support man that makes one more passes and keeps the ball moving. In transition he has the extra speed needed to separate. There are some nice traits when watching him grow as a prospect.
White is a rugged forward that has done a great job of showcasing his skills so far this summer. At 6’5 he can play above the rim as a drop off man and operates well from 15 feet and in. His footwork from the short corner, passing at the nail, and ability to make shots around the basket bring his teams together. A utility forward that’s trending in the right direction. He’s an easy player to build a 4 out – 1 in offense around.
Lewis could use more shine as a prospect. Being that he’s a 6’5 wing with tons of activity, he stands out on the floor with talent. Defense is his calling card. He brings effort and intangibles on that side of the floor. Oftentimes, it turns into offense via steals and deflections. Speed in the open court is another strength. He’s simply a player willing to mix it up and impact the game in a winning way.
