#PHCreamCityCollision: Max's Day Three Standouts

Seven of the top performers I saw on Sunday in Milwaukee at the Prep Hoops Cream City Collision!    Devon had a big time performance on Sunday against [program_tooltip program_id='2075310' first='Northstar' last='Titans']. He showcased impressive change of pace on the ball, able to freeze defenders and then blow by them to get to his spots. He has the ability to explode off two feet and hang in the air to finish over a defender, or he can stop on a dime for a pull-up jumper. Had a sequence in the first half where he scored in transition, hit a three, and then knocked down all three free throws after being fouled on another three. Those 8 points in about a minute showcased his ability to takeover a game at any given moment.     I really like how well Judah moves off the ball. The [program_tooltip program_id='2496167' first='Pro' last='Lane'] wing was cutting hard and was constantly looking for pockets of space to get into. On multiple occasions he was able to earn easy buckets for himself just with a hard off-ball cut, and with a big man drawing a lot of attention inside, he was able to capitalize by playing off him. Defensively he has the length to disrupt out on the perimeter, and provided an extra rebounding presence for his team.     Jacob had a huge first half for Minnesota Splash against [program_tooltip program_id='2391400' first='Team' last='Herro']-Batchelor. The 6'4 wing caught fire from beyond the arc, hitting a handful of threes within a few minutes to give his team a big boost of momentum. Has a high release point and was comfortable getting his shots off with a defender closing out hard. Also worked hard sprinting in transition, and that effort paid off as he was able to capitalize with a pair of transition buckets. Helped lead his team to a 4-0 record over the weekend.     Danny is a scrappy guard out of Rochester Mayo who was doing all of the little things for MN Laceup. Defensively he was working hard to pressure the ball, and off the ball was able to come up with some deflections in the passing lanes. If there was a loose ball in his area, Danny was going to be the first one on the floor for it. At 6' he wasn't afraid to battle in the paint for rebounds against bigger players, and after pulling in a board he was looking to push the pace in transition. His guard play was a big part of Laceup's success over the weekend.     I really like how Sam uses his strength as a guard. At about 6'1-6'2, he was finding success backing down opposing guards and just finishing over the top. He could either post up on the block, or catch on the wing and dribble into a post-up opportunity. Good mix of power and footwork playing off two feet in the paint. Sam worked hard to fight for rebounds, defended a number of spots, and brought a lot of energy to the floor for Minnesota Splash.     Gannan is as tough as they come at the lead guard spot. Defensively he works hard pressuring the ball, fights to get over screens, and seems to come up with one or two charge calls each game as he's so good at positioning himself to draw contact. On the offensive end he's an unselfish player who keeps the ball moving and can handle it well when put under pressure. Even at 5'10 he's a strong finisher at the rim as he knows how to draw contact and keep his chin at the rim to help him finish.     Travis just has a nose for the rim for Team Rose. In what was a pretty low scoring matchup against MN Laceup, his ability to weave his way to the rim and finish was key for his team coming away with the win. He showed good chance of speed on the ball, allowing him to get past his initial defender on the perimeter and get into the lane. From there he had the body control to hang in the air and extend to finish around shot blockers.
