<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Midwest Basketball Club Fall League got underway in Columbus on Saturday and in this article we'll take a look at four 2025 prospects who were standouts during the opening weeks action.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1888322"],"_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-66df1ac943ac1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the top prospects in the fall league, Kayser lived up to his reputation on Saturday with a dominant performance. Playing above the rim, Kayser had some monster dunks off of two feet throughout the day. Kayser has an old school offensive game, loving to work in the mid post and mid-range area. With soft touch and the confidence to shoot over smaller defenders, Kayser is a tough match-up in the half court. I was encouraged by his willingness to shoot the 3-pointer on Saturday as well. If Kayser can consistently knock down shots from beyond the arc, he'll be an even better offensive player the moment he steps on a college campus.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1617848"],"_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-66df1ac943b2a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A steady point guard who has been on our radar for a while, Johnson continues to impress with his all around game. Defensively, Johnson forced a couple turnovers with his ball pressure and did a nice job of driving and kicking it out to shooters. Coached by his Midwest Gold coach Luke Harrington and teammates with [player_tooltip player_id='2042519' first='Nick' last='Butterfield'] from that team, the chemistry was shown early in the morning with those players seeming to click. Johnson also knocked down a couple perimeter shots in the game I saw, with a few time and space 3-pointers and mid-range pull up jumpers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2204963"],"_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-66df1ac943b6c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wilson has a strong frame and used his body and muscle to overpower defenders at the rim. Able to put his shoulder into the defender and score through contact, I was impressed with the efficiency Wilson scored with on drive to the paint. Able to score off cuts, triple threat attacks and transition opportunities, Wilson saw the most success when he was able to get all the way to the basket.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1285287"],"_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-66df1ac943baa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Richardson came out in the second half on fire with five straight points off a floater, 3-pointer and forcing a turnover with high pressure defense. Later in the second half, Richardson scored on a cover jumper, made one of the best passes I saw all day on a spin move kickout and got to the foul line on drives. Nice showing from an undersized point guard who played harder than a lot of the other players on Saturday morning.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
