Comets Shootout 16U and 17U Observations

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1560831' first='Levi' last='Harris'] is a big time 3-point shooter. Getting a lot of shots on a poor team in games that aren't very competitive at times can overinflate a player's stats. Harris proved in the five games the Minnesota Comets Lewis team played that he can play off the ball and knock down catch and shoot jumpers.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlCsvPx_gEM&t=2s&ab_channel=StreetHistoryVideos </div></figure>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1560798' first='Lucas' last='Gustafson'] can lead [program_tooltip program_id='2075672' first='Minnesota' last='Fury'] Antl. Fury Antl lost their primary ball handler to a rival AAU team so the Gustafson takes a big role. Gustafson has always been able to switch between the on and off the ball, even at Mankato East with Sioux Falls committed teammate Madson. Gustafson proved in Fury's four games he's ready for the primary role with Fury and at East next year.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbdahYoTrP8&t=3s&ab_channel=StreetHistoryVideos </div></figure>   <p>Kobe Willis is a high percentage outside shooter. The 2026 six-foot-four-inch wing from BSM is a floor spacer and can shoot the ball from distance. His outside shooting led the [program_tooltip program_id='2075674' first='Minnesota' last='Heat'] Conyers in a game versus MN [program_tooltip program_id='2078859' first='Starks' last='Elite'].</p>   <p>[program_tooltip program_id='2075672' first='Minnesota' last='Fury'] Zurn is Deep</p>   <p>The 2027 16U Fury Zurn team has size up front and on the wing, and guards that can shoot and pass. [player_tooltip player_id='2126126' first='Ray' last='Brau'] from Hibbing is a six-foot-eight-inch center and [player_tooltip player_id='2052332' first='Trey' last='Theis'] of Prior Lake is a six-foot-seven-inch forward that can also play center. [player_tooltip player_id='2126442' first='Bennett' last='Cizadlo'] of Maple Grove is a six-foot-six-inch wing that slashes and shoots the ball from distance and [player_tooltip player_id='2140580' first='Carter' last='Zollar'] is a high-flying athlete along with [player_tooltip player_id='2140561' first='Benett' last='Barger']. </p>   <p>At guard they have [player_tooltip player_id='2126448' first='Colton' last='Purcell'] who's a stronger quicker than he looks guard who can put the ball on the floor and drive but also shoot it from deep. [player_tooltip player_id='2433532' first='Max' last='Beeninga'], [player_tooltip player_id='2433515' first='Kolby' last='Thompson'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2140618' first='Griffin' last='Carroll'] all showed long distance shooting ability.</p>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2126128' first='Isaiah' last='Asuma'] is strong, fast, and can really pass the ball. The 2027 Asuma has good passing instincts and throws the ball with zip. His teammates need to always be aware when he has the ball as he's looking to push and make plays. Asuma has a good straight line drive in the half-court putting defenders on their heels.</p>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1560826' first='Joel' last='Saah'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1437598' first='Dane' last='Danielson'] produce together. In their opening game playing for [program_tooltip program_id='2075685' first='Minnesota' last='Select'] Ohnstad the two combined for 36 of Select's 63 in an opening game win. Both are looking to make an impact on the spring/summer season after their junior high school seasons. Saah a slashing six-foot-two-inch combo guard and Danielson a pick and pop six-foot-six-inch forward.</p>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2524653' first='Dawson' last='Hofer'] is a strong and able bodied six-foot-five-inch forward from Holdingford. The 2027 forward was relentless inside, going at all comers and scoring at the rim. Hofer showed some ability and willingness to shoot from the perimeter at times as well.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Smtkwm-e158&t=4s&ab_channel=StreetHistoryVideos </div></figure>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2400077' first='Eli' last='Hegle'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2397563' first='Thomas' last='Jordan'] look very comfortable and able to play at 16U. The [program_tooltip program_id='2821775' first='Buffalo' last='Legacy'] pair of 2028 players last year played with [program_tooltip program_id='2075672' first='Minnesota' last='Fury'] at 14U. This year they're playing 16U with the local [program_tooltip program_id='2821775' first='Buffalo' last='Legacy'] team and certainly held their own, even appeared to be the best players on the floor. Versus Titans Stone they combined for 30 points and against MN Heat GVR they combined for 43 points. They also scored 31 points versus Fury Sabin and 40 versus MN Select Fuerte.</p>
