<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Run N Slam is a weekend event that brings hundreds of teams to Fort Wayne Indiana to compete in front of dozens of college coaches for one of the biggest spring events in the Midwest, in this article I'll break down the 17 U standouts from Friday night's action.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1729405"],"_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-6816b59e32e30"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I've been really impressed with Sagester's effort on the glass this weekend, working hard to box out and compete against taller and more physical players. Sagester has been really working on the defensive end of the court all weekend and his efforts were rewarded with a 21 point outburst to lead his team in scoring on Saturday night. Really like seeing players add new ways to impact the game and this was by far the best I've seen Sagester attack rebounds.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2204430"],"_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-6816b59e32eb4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A consistent performer this weekend, Henry has knocked down shots in all three games by scoring 13 or more points in each contest. Able to play on or off the ball, Henry does a nice job of relocating to get himself open while also picking his spots to attack off the dribble. I've been really impressed with Henry's consistent production this grassroots season on the offensive end.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2419885"],"_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-6816b59e32f02"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[program_tooltip program_id='2078667' first='TNBA' last=''] has a group that wants to spread the defense out and then attack the paint and Katava was the recipient of a few open dunks thanks to his guards making plays to force the defense to help off him. Katava can space the floor with spot-up 3-point looks and also found success as a cutter off the ball. A player who really fits an up and down style of play, Katava makes quick decisions and makes himself available off the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2854861"],"_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-6816b59e32f48"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the top competitors I saw all weekend, Bell plays as hard as anybody when he steps on the court. Going 110 MPH for loose balls and rebounds, Bell usually found a way to come up with the basketball. I was also impressed with some smart passing by Bell either kicking it out to shooters or finding cutters for shots in the paint. Physically, Bell also has the strength to compete defensively and outmuscle players for rebounds. Really enjoy watching Bell on both ends of the court as he just makes winning plays.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2377837"],"_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-6816b59e32f8b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Midwest Cincy MHC had an impressive pool play performance thanks to a strong defensive effort across the board that included Miller playing strong in the paint. Offensively is where Miller's natural ability shines as he's able to finish at the rim with acrobatic ability for a player his size as he does a nice job getting back to his left hand at the rim to finish. Also a guy you can't leave open from downtown, Miller makes you pay when his feet are set more often than not. Really strong team effort to wrap up Friday night's action with Miller standing out the most in my eyes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
