NEXT Summer Slam: Max’s Wing Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Six of the best wings I saw over the weekend in Appleton at the Prep Hoops Next Summer Slam!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2782368"],"_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-6852baa12335b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wesley is a versatile wing-guard for a talented [program_tooltip program_id='2075693' first='MN' last='Crossfire'] team. With his length at 6'1 he was able to defend a number of spots on the floor, and could do a little bit of everything offensively. Wesley could take a defensive rebound and then push the tempo to give his team transition opportunities, or bring it up and get them into their half-court offense. Throughout the weekend Wesley was draining threes at a high percentage, was cutting hard off the ball, and showed good vision to set up his teammates.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2365287"],"_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-6852baa1233ee"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Now standing at about 6', Trenton is a long and explosive wing for [program_tooltip program_id='2127820' first='Racine' last='Truth'], and was a big reason why they made it to the semi-finals. I liked how active his was off the ball, able to find pockets of space to catch and shoot out on the perimeter, or cut to the basket for easy lay-ups when the defense was sleeping. His speed in the open floor helped him feast in transition as well. House showed the ability to defend all over the floor, and his length could cause problems up in passing lanes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2859864"],"_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-6852baa123443"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2859867' first='Tyson' last='Runk'] was one of the best passers I saw over the weekend. He was dangerous attacking off the dribble, getting into the lane, and locating an open man as help defenders stepped in on him. Tyson also did a great job of picking up his head after a defensive rebound, and was able to launch deep outlet passes to his teammates sprinting the floor for easy lay-ups. Tyson is a strong rebounder, can finish in traffic around the rim, and is a threat to knock down open jumpers beyond the arc. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2829064"],"_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-6852baa12348a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brock is a high flying athlete in the 2030 class. Despite just finishing 7th grade, Brock was already finishing above the rim for [program_tooltip program_id='2076023' first='Wisconsin' last='Academy']. In the game I watched on Saturday he threw down a pair of dunks, while slashing to the basket for a few more athletic finishes. He was a major threat out in transition, and had the athleticism and long frame to jump passing lanes for steals. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2693437"],"_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-6852baa1234cd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brayden is a gritty wing who just finds ways to get to the basket. He does a great job of playing off two feet, and this allowed him to go up on balance and finish at a high level through contact. Had a number of plays where he just powered his way up to finish with a defender falling down on his inside shoulder. Brayden is able to get downhill off the dribble, fight on the offensive glass, or cut hard without the ball to find scoring opportunities inside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2828730"],"_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-6852baa12350e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Able to man the paint or move his feet out on the perimeter, Vince was a key reason why [program_tooltip program_id='2512324' first='Wisconsin' last='Legends'] advanced to the 13u championship game. He's a long and agile prospect who has a high release point on his jumper, making him dangerous facing up out of the post. He had some nice cuts off the ball, ran the floor hard in transition, and was defending a number of spots on the floor against a Mac Irvin Fire team filled with size.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
