#PHMidwestShowdown: 17u Sleeper Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Seven of the under-the-radar prospects who impressed last weekend at the Prep Hoops Midwest Showdown!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2423290"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6658f2a9ebfd5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Unsigned senior [player_tooltip player_id='2423290' first='Joshua' last='Meyer'] showed some flashes with [program_tooltip program_id='2075258' first='ABC' last='Young Lions']. He still has to find ways to consistently produce, but he's a raw prospect with some tools to work with. Listed at 7', Meyer gets up and down the floor well at his size, and has the conditioning to continue running the floor possession after possession. Provides a shot blocking threat with his ability to move his feet into position, and is a strong rebounding presence inside. Didn't do a ton of scoring but showed decent touch in the opportunities that he did get. Will be a project at the next level, but you can't teach his level of size with solid athleticism.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1782032"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6658f2a9ec03e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sam is a tough-as-nails guard for [program_tooltip program_id='2076027' first='Wisconsin' last='Blizzard']. He had some impressive moments against [program_tooltip program_id='2245199' first='Pride' last='Roc'], maneuvering his way into the lane to make plays. Against a team loaded with quick guards, Sam had success getting to the rim where he showcased impressive body control on some difficult finishes. Showed he can hang in the air to contort his body and finish in a number of ways. Also did a nice job of feeding his bigs on the block.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2381608"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6658f2a9ec09a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lukas is a shooter with some size on the wing at 6'4. Running with [program_tooltip program_id='2076025' first='Wisconsin' last='Blaze'], he was stretching the floor with his ability to catch and shoot from beyond the arc. Did a nice job of constantly passing and relocating just trying to find pockets of space out on the perimeter. Was a 9.9 ppg scorer as a junior shooting 38% from beyond the arc for West Bend East.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2431288"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6658f2a9ec0f3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Unsigned senior [player_tooltip player_id='2431288' first='Demeir' last='Hogans-Harris'] made an impression with his athleticism and scrappiness for [program_tooltip program_id='2245199' first='Pride' last='Roc']. Playing on the wing, he was almost always smaller than his matchup, but was still one of the best rebounders and shot blockers on the floor. He has a long wingspan and is an explosive athlete, and excelled at high pointing missed shots to secure possession for his team. Was all over the place on the defensive end tipping passes and blocking shots inside. Did a nice job of fighting for offensive boards and powering his way up to the rim for two points. Helped lead his team to a win over [program_tooltip program_id='2076027' first='Wisconsin' last='Blizzard'] in the game I watched.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1584901"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6658f2a9ec14b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ricky utilized his quickness on the ball to create for himself and his teammates. He was simply running circles around defenders at times as he navigated his way to the rim for some crafty finishes, while also being able to stretch the floor with his deep range beyond the arc. Hit a deep three at to beat the half-time buzzer in the game that I watched. Ricky helped lead his [program_tooltip program_id='2075704' first='MN' last='Rise'] team to a 3-1 record on the weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2416564"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6658f2a9ec1a2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bradley Elite went with a 5-in 5-out rotation, and Terrance was the scoring spark with his lineup. He was dangerous in isolation with his ability to blow by his man and get to the basket where he's an explosive finisher. Threw down a dunk, had some transition buckets, and a couple of crafty finishes in traffic in the game I watched. Threat to shoot from three off the catch as well. Explosive athlete who was making plays on both ends of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Leshawn Brown","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77247","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Stoughton","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='2076044' first='Wisconsin' last='United']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6658f2a9ec267"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Leshawn is an explosive athlete who plays bigger than his size. Defensively you can almost throw him on any spot on the floor, as he moves well laterally and has the length to defend against taller players. Proved to be a good shot blocker both around the basket, and out on the perimeter where he blocked a pair of jump shots. Was at his best out in the open floor where he can finish above the rim in the open floor, or finish over defenders with a lay-up. Made key plays on both ends of the floor in the win over All Wisconsin.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
