He heated up this weekend was easily one of the best and most consistent shooters in the gym.</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Hill showed that he can connect from deep off the bounce. He buried a pull triple from the top. Better yet, he hit the triple in a key moment of the game.</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Davis was a sparkplug for a talented Dragons team. I watched him heat up with his jumper more than once. Davis connected on a couple corner triples in 1 game.</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">We've seen Boos fill it up in the past and he was feeling his jumper early. Boos can swing the ball and make the defense pay on the reversal.</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Jackson was impressive with his length and athleticism, but the young man could fill it up as well. He buried on a pretty wing triple when I was watching him.</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Cook is an exciting wing prospect that showed range on his jumper. He shot over the top of the defense when he drilled a corner 3.</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Conti is a firecracker type of shooter. He seemed to hit momentum triples this weekend. Conti is tall and long and can shoot over the top.</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Curry was at his best with the ball in his hands at the Great Lakes Challenge. And that included his jumper. He hit a smooth wing 3 off the catch.</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Otto is going to have his name on speed type soon. But as you've read in previous articles, he was shooting the lights out all weekend.</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Hall is a name to watch this summer! He grooved his jumper on Sunday, hitting at least 4 triples in the one of the last games of the day.</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">I'll never forget the mid range jumper! I really like the way Lemke worked the baseline and the corners both from mid range and beyond the arc.</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">McGriff showed the ability to shoot through the closeout. He stayed focused on the rim and connected on a contested wing 3.</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Slack was hounded by double teams all weekend, but he was still able to find and fill it with his jumper. Slack can create a look as well as fill it up off the catch.</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Ward showed the ability to shoot from anywhere beyond the arc. He buried a 3 from the corner and followed it up with one from the top.</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Gugle is a super athletic shooter that can fill it up from mid range and beyond the arc. He hit his jumper off the catch, but was also able to create looks.</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Smith is a player that I've seen a couple times and come away impressed every event. He showed that he can fill it up with his jumper over the weekend.</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Rademacher earned the Mr. Big Shot nickname last summer and his jumper has gotten better. Rademacher hit a few triples in key moments.</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Blackman was impressive this weekend. He looked like an athletic shooter that could fill it up in the flow of the offense, but also create looks.</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Oberdick was just so steady all weekend for the [program_tooltip program_id='2078976' first='Ohio' last='Clamps']. Steady describes his jumper as well. They were consistent and unforced good looks at the rim.</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Kennedy had a great weekend at the Great Lakes Challenge. His shooting was smart and efficient for the [program_tooltip program_id='2078976' first='Ohio' last='Clamps'].</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Loewenberg had a game changing jumper. I saw him heat up from behind the arc and start and carry runs for his team. Loewenberg was able to shoot through a closeout.</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Zickert has been able to shoot for a while. I once saw him win a middle school 3 point contest. True story. He buried some big ones this weekend.</p>
