#PHMidwestShowdown: The Wing Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Seven of the wing prospects who stood out in the games I watched over the weekend at the Prep Hoops Midwest Showdown!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2390673"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67f6983724bcd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Damann Young has the physical tools to make an impact on both ends of the floor. At 6'3 he has a long and lanky frame, with the bounce to make plays around the basket. Defensively he excelled at jumping passes for steals, and from there was able to go coast-to-coast for transition buckets. In the half-court he's able to change directions quickly off the dribble, while also having the quick first step to beat defenders with a straight line drive to the rim. He put together a productive weekend for Bradley Elite.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1560740"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67f6983724c71"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dothan has been consistently playing better each time I've seen him over the past six months. Over the weekend he helped lead [program_tooltip program_id='2075431' first='D1' last='Minnesota'] to a 4-0 record in dominant fashion, and he looks to be developing into a three level scoring threat. Dothan scored with a spin move into an explosive dunk from the block, was getting to his spots off the dribble for mid-range jumpers, and showed no hesitation pulling the trigger from three. At 6'6 he moves and handles the ball in a way that not a lot of guys his size can, and combined with the elevation he gets, it makes it difficult to contest when he gets into his mid-range jumper. When his shot is falling, Ijadimbola is so tough to stop.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2385567"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67f6983724d0d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Though he's still a bit raw, [player_tooltip player_id='2395520' first='Amani' last=''] has some intriguing tools to work with. The 6'4 wing out of Fox Valley Lutheran has a long wing-span, and can jump out of the gym. Running with FVL Foxes 17u, he made an impact as a rim protector, altering/blocking shots in both the half-court and in transition. [player_tooltip player_id='2395520' first='Amani' last=''] runs the floor hard in transition, can defend wings or forwards, and competes on the glass. He does a nice job of high pointing rebounds and securing them with two hands.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1777914"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67f6983724d8d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jaydon Kimbrough is a pure shooter out on the wing for Martin Brothers. At 6'4 he has some size as a shooting guard, combined with a strong frame that should help him transition to the next level. He's someone who doesn't need much space to get a shot off, and has no problem connecting even with a hand in his face. Jaydon can shoot off the dribble, or curl of screens and quickly fire off the catch. His outside shooting helped open up driving lanes for his Martin Brothers teammates all weekend long.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1560784"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67f6983724e0c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Woeser checked into the game and immediately made an impact for [program_tooltip program_id='2422572' first='D1' last='Minnesota Gold']. Within just a couple of minutes, Woeser sprinted the floor for a transition bucket, knocked down a three pointer, and then cut hard off the ball leading to an easy finish inside. He provided an extra scoring spark for his team, able to create his own shots when needed, while also working hard off the ball, constantly moving and cutting. Shooter with some size at around 6'3-6'4.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1561958"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67f6983724e87"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Donovan may not stand out with highlight reel dunks or flashy buckets, but he simply goes out and produces every time I see him play. Cowley is constantly moving off the ball looking for pockets of space to catch and shoot, and his shot was falling at a high percentage in the games I watched. Against a [program_tooltip program_id='2075431' first='D1' last='Minnesota'] 16u team filled with size and athleticism, Donovan showed he can finish at the rim against size, and has no problem getting his shots off against length. He rebounds the ball hard, always seems to find a body to box out, and you'll rarely see him make a mistake with the ball in his hands.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2049978"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67f6983724f04"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Now listed at 6'2, Paris was making plays on both ends of the floor for Powerhouse Minnesota. He has the quickness to pressure the ball hard in the half-court, and off the ball he has good instincts to jump passing lanes for steals. His energy helped [program_tooltip program_id='2075808' first='Powerhouse' last='MN'] force a bunch of turnovers across the weekend, and once in transition, he excelled at getting to the rim to finish. In the half-court he provides a three point shooting threat for his team, with the ability to quickly get a shot off on the wing, and with range extending a few feet beyond the arc.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
