He has very good defensive instincts for a young player. He's always in the right position and he makes good rotations as well as his good on ball defense. The young lefty is a smooth ball handler and passing who hits open 3-pointers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>*********<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2889028,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/06/IMG_3462.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/06/IMG_3462.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2889028" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2918951' first='Max' last='Lyles'] (Smith-Cotton): A 6'1 point guard who has a solid body and a very nice offensive package to go along with it. He did a really nice job of operating the pick and roll. He made some accurate pocket passes for the roller. He could also turn the corner and get downhill or make the 3-pointer if the defender went under the screen. He's an emerging young talent in Mid-Missouri.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>*******<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2889032,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/06/IMG_3635.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/06/IMG_3635.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2889032" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Zhitavion Shelby Jr (Boonville): While most people know about 6'7 young standout [player_tooltip player_id='2767899' first='Bronx' last='Ganaway'], there is another talented youngster at Boonville in this 6'0 point guard. He has good quickness and athleticism to go along with his offensive skills. He has a quick burst to beat defenders off the dribble and he could knock down the open perimeter jumper.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>********<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2889041,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/06/IMG_3703.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/06/IMG_3703.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2889041" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2918956' first='Brayden' last='Harris'] (DeSmet): A 5'11 point guard who plays with a nice offensive flow for a youngster. He is a capable 3-point shooter and he also has a nice shot fake and dribble move to a mid range jumper.

He came off the screen and knocked down a 3-pointer from the head of the key. He's also handled himself pretty well against pressure.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>*******<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2889047,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/06/IMG_3459.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/06/IMG_3459.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2889047" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2900424' first='Hudson' last='Creekmore'] (Penney): A 6'0 lefty who was impressive in the two games I watched him. He was shooting it well from 3-point range and he played with good pace. He's very young and he plays with confidence. He can change speeds off the dribble and his court vision is good.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>*******<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2889081,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/06/IMG_3414.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/06/IMG_3414.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2889081" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2918965' first='Brandon' last='Brown'] (Ozark): A 5'10 point guard who was holding his own as he was given the ball in the game I watched.
