<p>Nebraska United has a very talented 16U team that I got to see up close a couple weekends ago. They went 3-1 on the weekend and blowing out some of the other talented teams on their schedule. Bellow I'll be evaluating six players that stood out to me when watching Nebraska United.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Juju Thach is a very raw talent with the potential to be a prototype wing big hybrid in the next couple years. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Thach's incredibly long wingspan is his biggest asset. It allows him to compete for rebounds down low despite his skinny frame and finish around the rim efficiently. On defense it helps him get deflections and blocks while still bothering the shots he doesn't get his hands on. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Thach has shown flashes of being a solid shooter something that could make him a really dangerous if he continues to make strides in that area. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>If he continues to grow and put on some more weight Thach will likely see his production shoot up as he already has a solid skill set. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2398417' first='Jaysean' last='McKinney'] is an intriguing prospect with good upside and plenty of time to expand his game. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">McKinney is a real athlete who can play above the rim and is a force once he gets downhill and in the post. When he's not playing above the rim, he has good touch around the rim and is efficient scorer from that area when he keeps the ball high. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Jaysean is a good rebounder who gets boards outside of his area on both the offensive and defensive end.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Maybe the most exciting part of his game is his potential to be a grab and go threat at his size he's a solid ball handler who can put pressure on the rim immediately after grabbing a rebound. He makes solid decisions with the ball in his hands already but if he can improve that aspect of his game it'll be hard to keep him off the court.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Denver Burchett is a reliable shooter who excels as a decision maker with the ball in his hands. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Burchett is rarely ever sped up and plays with an almost unnatural calm for a guard his age. He doesn't turn the ball over much and doesn't force things when his shot isn't falling. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">At this point in his development Denver can hang his hat on his shooting ability especially off the catch. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Duoth Yiel is an all-around jumbo-sized guard who showcases his basketball IQ in several aspects of his game. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Yiel has a way of slithering through the lane on his drives racking up paint touches with ease. Once he gets to the rim, he is a quality finisher especially with his strong hand. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Duoth can shoot from distance both off the dribble and the catch from well behind the line. He has a solid handle overall however there are times when bring the ball up the court that pressure can blind side him and cause the occasional turnover. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He shows a great feel for the game overall, whether it was following his shot and making the right pass on offense or playing passing lanes and getting opportunistic steals on defense.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2634146' first='Dominique' last='Gaspard Jr.'] is the glue for his Nebraska United team. What he does well may not always show up in the box score but his impact on his team was undisputed in my time watching him.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">He just always seemed to be in the right spot on both ends of the court. On defense he racked up several steals and on offense he connected plays by consistently making the right decision. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Gaspard is an outstanding rebounder for his height on offense and on defense. It was like de ja vu every time his team came down with a tough rebound or loose ball Gaspard was the one behind it. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Dyonte Jackson is a guard that has a lot of upside and has the potential to add to an already loaded back court during his upcoming high school season. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Jackson didn't have the best shooting game when I saw him but the confidence he shoots it with and his overall all form lends to him being a solid shooter. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">He takes good angels when getting to the rim cutting off defenders with veer steps and other crafty maneuvers for finishes around the rim. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Dyonte is a good athlete for his size with serious vertical pop and speed.</p>
