Senior Standouts from The Expo

The Expo was hosted in Shawnee on October 13 and provided a great day of competition. It showcased some of the best talent in the state and some players that were flying under the radar. This list will take a look at some seniors who stood out from The Expo.   (This list won't include players who made the <a href="https://prephoops.com/2024/10/the-expo-all-showcase-team/">All-Showcase Team</a>)    Shafer played a very consistent, all-around game at the showcase. He's smart, skilled, and showed he was willing to fill multiple roles to win. Shafer is a strong driver and gets into the paint to make plays for himself or others. He's solid defensively and on the glass. Offensively, he can get to the rim for easy looks or knock down catch-and-shoot threes. In the 3v3 section, Shafer was very effective in a two-man game with Kapaun forward [player_tooltip player_id='2211346' first='Rocco' last='Keller'].     Honarvar provided a consistent interior presence for his team. He has good length and is a great rim protector. In the post, he's a solid on ball defender. Honarvar is also an effective help side defender, capable of blocking what would usually be routine layups. Offensively, Honarvar did most of his damage from the interior. He hit the offensive glass hard and showed he's a capable scorer on the low block.     Delargy showed that he was a high IQ guard, an effective playmaker, a solid scoring option, and a willing perimeter defender. He's a selfish playmaker who looks to make the right play and distribute the ball. He also is aggressive in transition and looks to finish strong at the rim. In the halfcourt, he can play out of push-downs, drive to the rim, or score from the outside. Delargy plays intense defense and makes it tough for opposing guards to get comfortable.     Lewis showed that he's a quick and disruptive guard on defense and likes to get out and run in transition. He has good hands and quick feet, allowing him to put a lot of pressure on opposing guards. Lewis' length and speed give him an advantage in transition, where he's an aggressive finisher. He's also a capable shooter, opening up driving lanes and adding another dimension to his offensive game.      Kermoade showed a versatile skillset for a 6'5” guard. Early in the showcase, he proved that he's a knockdown shooter. He can shoot with a hand in his face and hit shots on the move. His ability to shoot and score off the dribble also makes him a threat as a driver. Kermoade is a solid athlete with great length who can finish over or around defenders in the paint.      Tenbrink is a tough guard and effective scorer who brings energy on both ends. He's a solid finisher and strong ball-handler. Tenbrink takes contact in stride and is good at handling defensive pressure. He showed an ability to score from the perimeter or inside the paint, depending on what the defense was giving him. Another thing to like about Tenbrink is his energy. He looked like he was willing to fly around on both ends to make plays for his team.     Duff was a smart and versatile playmaker who showed a lot of potential for a big season at Erie. He was an effective slasher at the Expo, using his length to finish around the rim. He's strong and athletic, capable of guarding multiple positions and collecting rebounds. Duff is a solid ball handler, plays with good pace, and has the vision to find open teammates.     O'Donnell plays hard and doesn't give up on plays. He consistently created second chances, got deflections, and went after loose balls. He's great on the offensive glass, with good timing and aggression. He also started finding his jumper in the third game, going on a run with multiple tough three-point shots.
