Zero Gravity Supercup; Saturday Varsity Division Standouts Part 2

I attended the Zero Gravity Supercup on Saturday, March 29th, at the Dana Barros Basketball Club and watched some games in the Varsity American Division. There was lots of talent and in the gym. I'll be having about 10 standouts from the games on Saturday.   Here are my <a href="https://prephoops.com/2025/03/zero-gravity-supercup-saturday-varsity-division-standouts-part-1/">part 1 standouts</a> if you missed them.   Below are my part 2 standouts.    I really enjoy watching the pace at which Otey plays the game. For a 6-foot-5 sophomore, he has an amazing feel and is never in any sort of rush offensively. He uses slow steps very well and also gets into the body of the defender to offset their balance and strength. He won't necessarily wow you with athleticism – which could potentially limit his high-major recruitment – so some improvements in that area would help him out a lot. However, I think he's skilled enough and strong enough to hold his own at that level – he already has a Villanova offer.     Ciampa is a crafty point guard who runs the show for ASA Select. He does a good job getting into the lane with his change-of-direction dribbling moves and has great vision once he punctures the paint. He's limited in the number of passes he can make as a result of his size, but he still manages to find weak-side shooters and cutters under the hoop. I was especially impressed with his ability to run the fastbreak and find teammates leaking out behind the defense. Ciampa could potentially find a D3 fit somewhere if a coach takes a liking to the way he gets the offense in order.     Gutauskas is a wing with solid size, athletic ability, and a well-rounded offensive skillset. As is the case with most players on this Mass Premier squad, he's an excellent off-ball cutter and has a supreme understanding of offensive spacing. Once he gets the ball swung to him, he can attack closeouts and shoot it fairly confidently. He also has really solid passing instincts and is super unselfish. Could imagine him finding a D3 fit somewhere, and some added strength would really help him out in that regard.     Similar to Gutauskas, Bordieri is a wing with decent size who knows how to play the game. He cuts well, screens well, and passes the ball well – all prerequisites for a Mass Premier player. He had some solid takes to the rim and showed off a couple nice finishes over the trees. Additionally, despite his odd-looking shooting form, he was able to knock down shots from long range and was always ready on the catch to make the correct decision. Defensively, he plays super hard and is tough as nails, which allows him to be fairly versatile on that end.     Plankey is a traditional low-post big with some athletic pop. He burrows his way into the paint using a variety of post-moves and footwork, and he has really solid touch around the hoop. He can also make the kick out pass when he gets double teamed. In transition, he threw down multiple viscous two-hand slams and did his part protecting the rim on the defensive end. Plankey could probably have a really nice D3 career – it'll be interesting to see where the 6-foot-9 senior ends up.
