Top Performers at the St Charles Shootout

Prep Hoops Missouri takes a look at the top performers who we saw on Saturday at the St Charles Summer Shootout.    The 6'4" 2027 shooting guard put on quite an offensive display in the two games that I watched him. He is a three-level scorer who is excellent at creating his own shot off the dribble. He creates the space for himself, then hits the high arching jumper from 3-point range. He uses the jab step very well to back up defenders before raising up to shoot it. He also comes off screens shot ready with his movement. He attacked well off the dribble and he also threw down multiple dunks.     The 6'4" 2026 guard was one of the top players in the event with his offensive prowess. He was tough to defend because he can find buckets from anywhere on the floor. He made good use of his height by going into the post and scoring inside against a smaller defender. He takes what the defense gives him. If you pushed up on him, it was a drive. If you backed up, he was knocking down the 3-pointer. He was also setting up his teammates with nifty passes.     The 6'4" 2026 guard was doing a little bit of everything for the Rams in the game I watched against Rolla. He spent a lot of time at he point where he handled the ball and facilitated offense. He got into the lane and was kicking it out to open shooters. He was scoring in the paint on the drive and he rebounded the ball well at both ends of the court. He is also an active defender with his length and athleticism.     The 6'1" 2026 guard knows how to play offensive basketball. He is a potent scorer and he can get his buckets in a variety of ways. He moves well without the ball and comes off screens very well. He reads defenses well before he moves off the ball. He can also operate with the ball in his hands to create a shot and he can score it from all three levels. He can also kick it to an open teammate when he draws a defender to him.     The 6'6" 2026 forward was very active throughout the day at both ends of the floor. I was very impressed with his activity on the defensive end. He did a good job of protecting the rim with several blocked shots. On offense he was getting good seals in the paint and he could score with a jump hook over his left shoulder. He was hustling up and down the court on rim runs and getting transition layups. His passing was also impressive as he threw several dimes over the top of the defense, which led to layups.     A 6'4" 2026 guard who transfers over from North Point and should become quite a impact scorer for the Pirates. He has good positional size and he is a capable offensive player from all three levels and he can also play above the rim when he needs to. He is capable of helping a team in several areas as a ball handler, rebounder and good defender with his length.     The 6'3" 2026 guard is a all-purpose player who impacts play in several areas, which makes him so valuable. He can take the ball from the point to initiate offense, then he can go into the low post and use his size and strength against smaller guards. He also has a nice pull up jumper. He is a very good defender who can guard multiple positions and he rebounded the ball well.
