Foote good athlete and good finisher around the rim. Has ball handling skills, and could certainly develop more there. Foote is a strong defender that uses quickness and length to bother opponents.</p>   <p> [player_tooltip player_id='2406993' first='Sawyer' last='Dahl'] - 2029 - Northwest Elite - The six-foot-five-inch forward from Wisconsin showed good ability to stretch the floor and make outside shoots.</p>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2830752' first='Grant' last='West'] - 2029 - Start Strong Hoops 14U - The six-foot-three-inch West used his size to his advantage while also showcasing solid ability to handle the ball. Secondary ball handler, wing or forward, West shot the ball well from the perimeter versus [program_tooltip program_id='2075702' first='MN' last='Lightning'] Gibson and Adidas [program_tooltip program_id='2075431' first='D1' last='Minnesota'] 2029 Black.</p>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2848470' first='Davis' last='Rotzenberg'] - 2030 - [program_tooltip program_id='2075674' first='Minnesota' last='Heat'] Dahl - Rotzenberg shot the ball well for the Heat from the perimeter. Rotzenberg showed off good ability to handle the ball.</p>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2702576' first='Connor' last='Johnson'] - 2029 - Minnesota Rush - Johnson a player from Edina showed good ability of knowledge on the floor for Rush. Made himself available, rebounded, and passed the ball well.</p>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2394252' first='Orlando' last='Hass'] - 2029 - Minnesota Lightning Gibson - Hass a forward from PEM who played very similarly to when I saw him in March at the MS Camp. Good aggression on offense and defense, and shot the ball from distance. Hass will need to be a better ball handler to unlock more opportunities on the floor. </p>   <p>Surya Chandrasheker - 2029 - Start Strong Hoops 14U - Chandrasheker hit 9 shots and most of them from 3 in a game versus [program_tooltip program_id='2075702' first='MN' last='Lightning'] Gibson in a very strong win for Start Strong Hoops. </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/streethistory/status/1916339532896600563?t=7zktZXS8j6NFvP20QlokUA&s=19 </div></figure>
