<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(55) SF [player_tooltip player_id='2530794' first='JT' last='Reeves'] (Iowa City West)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An athletic 6-2 wing, Reeves had some huge scoring games throughout the summer for [program_tooltip program_id='2246861' first='Murray' last='Elite'], showing the ability to score from all three levels and do so playing with or without the ball in his hands. He can knock down shots off the catch or create plays for himself and his teammates off the dribble, showing good footwork, handles, and vision. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(69) PF [player_tooltip player_id='2530475' first='Avery' last='Sorensen'] (Clear Creek Amana)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sorensen's future is likely on the gridiron, but he's a solid basketball player who was a standout performer at the Winterset Shootout back in June. A big, physically developed young forward, he has soft hands that he uses to dominate the glass on both ends of the floor. He has quick footwork and a few go-to moves on the block, and he sees the floor well and is a willing passer on his post touches. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(72) PF [player_tooltip player_id='2530470' first='KeShawn' last='DeShaw'] (Bellevue)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bouncy, mobile 6-5/6-6 big man, DeShaw is still raw on the offensive end, doing a majority of his scoring off of dump-off passes or offensive rebounds, but he has a lot of potential, showing good hands, quick feet, and soft touch around the rim throughout his freshman year. He averaged 11.8 points and 6.9 rebounds a game while also serving as a solid interior defender. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(73) SF [player_tooltip player_id='1946250' first='Anthony' last='Pattee'] (Cedar Falls)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pattee is another in a long line of long, athletic wings from Cedar Falls. He can step out and knock down 3s or attack the rim off the dribble. He's a versatile defender with the length and quickness to defend on the perimeter, or switch onto bigger bodies with his bounce and toughness. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(95) PF [player_tooltip player_id='2388492' first='Holden' last='Reynolds'] (Forest City)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Reynolds isn't a big scorer, averaging 3.1 points a game as a freshman, but he provided the Indians with a ton of value as a defender, blocking 1.5 shots a game. He's a big, mobile 6-6 forward with good timing and instincts as a shot blocker. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(96) SF [player_tooltip player_id='2405597' first='Layton' last='Snuttjer'] (Rock Valley)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Snuttjer has grown a bit, now up to about 6-3, which makes his shooting even more valuable. He knocked down 47% of his 3-point attempts as a freshman for the Rockets, showing the ability to do so both off the dribble and the catch. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
