<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2416035' first='Ben' last='Banwart'] is a six-foot-three-inch freshman from Maple Grove and Hoops Habit playing JV for the Crimson. Banwart recently had 12 points versus Rogers, 13 points versus Park Center, 16 points versus Osseo, 24 points versus Elk RIver making 4 3-pointers, and 17 points versus Alexandria this year. Banwart should end up settling himself in as a combo guard. Now however with his size he can go up to forward and all the way down to lead guard.</p>

<p>Malachi Fearn is a five-foot-eight-inch 2028 guard from Rogers playing on the Rogers' 9A freshman team. Fearn has a quick first-step that I witnessed versus Osseo where none of their guards could manage to stay in front. Fearn, also in transition, is almost impossible to catch as he's also very fast. He's a pesky ball defender and sneaks out steals often at the point of attack.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2560483' first='Jackson' last='Davis'] is a five-foot-nine-inch 2028 freshman guard playing on Elk River's B-Squad team. Davis is an excellent passer who sees the floor incredibly well even for his slight size. He finds teammates on the backside often open and able to complete plays. The lefty has good quickness, and has good leadership on the floor.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2381766' first='Xzayveun' last='Severin'] is a 2027 six-foot guard from Austin that is averaging almost 12 points per game for the Packers. Severin has shown ability to make multiple triples in games by doing it 7 times so far including 5 versus Byron that happened in the opening game in which he scored 20 points. Severin moves well without the ball getting into position to have quality looks and does well coming off screens. Severin has scored more than 20 points 3 times as well. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1579885' first='Nolan' last='Groves'] has scored more than 40 points in 3 of his last 6 games and 34 or more in 5 of his last 6. The six-foot-four-inch 2025 senior is making it really hard for the MN Mr. Basketball committee to not pick him as Mr. Basketball. Especially considering over those 6 games he's grabbed more 10 rebounds 4 times collecting 60 rebounds.</p>
