<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Continuing to take a look at some of the top performers from this past weekend's event in Appleton:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2369866' first='AJ' last='Gnewuch'] -- G -- [program_tooltip program_id='2076023' first='Wisconsin' last='Academy']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gnewuch was excellent this past weekend for [program_tooltip program_id='2076023' first='Wisconsin' last='Academy']. Helping lead his team to a championship victory, the guard scored and defended at a very high level. I look forward to watching Gnewuch moving forward. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Weston Heck -- G -- ND Prospects </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Heck made several impressive plays this past weekend for ND Prospects. The guard handles the ball well, makes the right pass, and is capable of scoring when necessary. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Brody Degner -- PF -- ND Prospects</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Degner is a strong and physical prospect who can bully opponents in the paint. Degner's size combined with his effort and intensity is too much for most opponents to handle. Degner played great basketball for ND Prospects </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2369936' first='Mason' last='Wallace'] -- PF -- [program_tooltip program_id='2141788' first='Mad' last='City Mambas'] </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wallace was no doubt one of the best prospects on the court in Appleton. The power forward is a strong and dominant force around the hoop. He rebounds at an elite level, scores, and has plenty of defensive potential. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2390011' first='Carson' last='Schoenherr'] -- G -- [program_tooltip program_id='2076023' first='Wisconsin' last='Academy']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Despite being currently undersized for his position, I thought that Schoenherr still played quality basketball. He made some slick passes and played impactful defense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Keondre Schaefferkotter-- G -- E2E Elite</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Schaefferkotter full offensive skillset was on display in Appleton. The guard is a lethal three-point shooter and skilled slasher. I thought that he did a great job keeping opposing defenders guessing. The guard proved to be an elite scorer at Summer Slam</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Byron Jones -- F -- E2E Elite</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jones is a great defender with a motor that doesn't stop. Regardless of the situation, you can count on Jones playing with heart and hustle. Jones really impressed scouts this past weekend with his tenacity. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
