Nickalai played expertly from the wings. Anderson was equally fast as players 3-5 inches shorter than him. Anderson caught the ball in the corner and on the wing and surged to the basket with confidence. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When ball-handling out high was required of him, Anderson was up to the task. He created separation with his long strides. Anderson finished a two-handed dunk in traffic during the first half blitz.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2367403' first='Aiden' last='Bolden'] | Team Mookie 16u</strong><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2367403' first='Aiden' last='Bolden'] dominated, like a young Charles Barkley.&nbsp; He pulled down three rebounds, blocked one shot, and scored four points in the first 3 minutes of action.&nbsp; Bolden really played center for Team Mookie16u, which might be unsustainable for his college career since he stands about 6-foot-6.&nbsp; His athleticism Is next level, so he will be able to defend the perimeter.&nbsp;Attacking from the outside is still in progress.&nbsp; His jumper looked not fully formed. His comfort around the rim is elite. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1575564' first='Kameron' last='Bowers'] | Team Mookie 16u</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2443146,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/20240518_122148-e1716053921687.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/20240518_122148-e1716053921687-edited.jpg?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2443146" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1575564' first='Kameron' last='Bowers'] played quick and smooth. His court awareness separated him from every guard on the floor.&nbsp; Bowers did not take many shots, as his priority appeared to be involving his teammates.&nbsp; Quick hands from Bowers created a steal in the first quarter.&nbsp; Bowers slashed to pass rather than slash to score throughout his time on the floor in the thrilling first quarter. Sharp passes from multiple points on the floor to vulnerable spots.<br><br><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1508978' first='Jarron' last='Talley'] | Team Mookie 16u</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2443142,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/20240518_122042.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/05/20240518_122042-edited-e1716053703968.jpg?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2443142" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Talley showed a smoothness around the rim and on the break. He was able to score and rebound from 12' and in. Outside shooting needs to improve long-term. Talley is kind of a positionless talent right now capable of doing many different things better than average and a couple much better than the average 16u hooper. Grinder. Defender.
