Northern Colorado Team Camp: Talented Shot Creators

These guards displayed notable talent creating quality shot attempts along the perimeter, particularly skilled shooters within their classes. They heated up from distance, more than capable of stringing together multiple made buckets in a row.    The twitchy playmaking guard will be set for a much larger role this upcoming season with Lutheran, showcasing his shotmaking abilities from all three levels. Getting more and more confident in his scoring within the mid-range, the undersized guard has become dependable at creating his own shot one on one. Capable of handling various responsibilities setting up the half court offense, Gonzalez has often been tasked with setting up frontcourt targets deep in the paint.     McKean brings strength and added athleticism within the backcourt, routinely throwing down windmill dunks in warmups for Castle View. A skilled shotmaker from inside the arc, the guard brings in soft touch on pull-up attempts. Effective scoring through the contest or patiently faking out multiple defenders, his ability to change pace within the halfcourt has been a key area of production for McKean.     King's strength and skill continue to propel Eaglecrest throughout their opponents, a diverse perimeter playmaker. Routinely knocking down threes off the catch or off the bounce, the guard remains one of most talented scoring threats within the state. One of those names who can heat up quickly and score in droves, Eaglecrest remains one of the state's premier teams in large part from King's production.     Braketa continues to get back to speed, at this point, looking like usual self. Quick changing speeds, with or without the ball, his supreme shotmaking was on full display at these team camps. Effective stepping into shots from off-ball actions or pulling up for secondary break three point attempts, although this is nothing new for the 2025 guard. Defensively, he fought to get around screens, effectively weaving around bigger forwards to take away space from his opponents.     Braketa has been a smooth shotmaker and playmaker for quite some time, routinely creating quality looks. Effective hitting pull-ups through contests, the guard continues to impress within a larger role, stepping into his third season at Ralston Valley. His quick feet and equally quick decision making with the ball has allowed the guard to be instrumental in their offensive playmaking. The state's 2026 class boasts plenty of talented perimeter creators, Braketa still stands among the best from the class.     The tall shotmaker was tough to handle for opponents, excellent in pull-up attempts from the mid-range. Fluid stepping into mid-range shot attempts through contests, opponents had trouble keeping Angelo from his spots during the event. Talented leveraging his shooting gravity for drives, the guard repeatedly contributed off-balance finishes versus tight pressure. Particularly at Mead, Angelo will have an even larger role going into next season, tasked with the bulk of playmaking opportunities within the halfcourt. Defensively, his wide reach allowed him to hold his own at the point of attack, certainly no mismatch for opposing shot creators
