14U Future Stars Classic Saturday Standouts

<p>Jack O'Sullivan - PSB Denver - O'Sullivan a six-foot-three-inch forward from Colorado showed off his ability to pick and pop draining six 3-pointers on his way to a 20 point performance in PSB's win over Breakers Basketball Pink Saturday. O'Sullivan's shot looked nearly pure from all points of release.</p>   <p>Noah Woods - Sanford Sports Academy Black - Woods is a six-foot-six-inch wing from Siox Falls Washington in South Dakota and he is an impressive 2029 prospect already in the way he moves on the court and his physical length and size. What makes Woods so intriquing is the way he moves around the floor so agile, smoothness with handling the ball and potential growth, and his ability to shoot from the perimeter.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMA95UxuP62/?igsh=MTluMWhxOTVlaDc5OQ== </div></figure>   <p>Payton Sorensen – Sanford Sports Academy Black - Sorensen a 2029 guard was impressive versus SSA ND East with the ball and shooting from the perimeter. Sorensen was confident handling and shooting; he had a good, smooth stroke.</p>   <p>Vince Obiekwe - Team Manitoba - The 2029 Canadian wing was long, agile, and athletic especially when he poked away a steal and dunked on the break. Obiekwe is ahead as a defender with his athleticism and seems like he has some growth still coming along.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMAt4_7ubMQ/?igsh=bzZrdWk1NGxxeTll </div></figure>   <p>Cam Groth - [program_tooltip program_id='2075310' first='Northstar' last='Titans'] Strand - The 2029 guard from Champlin Park showed off his perimeter shooting in the first game of the day versus AEF Academy knocking down five 3-pointers on his way to scoring 21 points. Groth, a secondary ball handler, plays off the ball well, growth area would be ball handling as he matures.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMAu5nsuUFD/?igsh=MWFoY3VqN3c5c3hxZA== </div></figure>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2454248' first='Elijah' last='Christenson'] - [program_tooltip program_id='2075310' first='Northstar' last='Titans'] Strand - The six-foot-five-inch Rogers wing Christenson scored 15 points in his opening Saturday game. Christenson has good length, very smooth mobility, and is improving as a shooter. Christenson makes strong moves going to the basket and finishes above average.</p>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2434784' first='Tayshaun' last='Scott'] - Grand Forks Heat - Scott a relatively small guard, but he uses quickness and speed with a tight handle to get to spots on the floor for opportunities. That quickness and handle got him open floaters, and 3-pointer shots versus a long, athletic defense of Team Manitoba. Scott scored 16 points in the game making eight shots.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://youtube.com/shorts/PYg6cgzM4lE?si=iYR8XYyjsbYiCSQj </div></figure>   <p>Jax Lockwood - [program_tooltip program_id='2123709' first='MN' last='Rush'] - Lockwood a 2029 guard from Elk River made plays over and over versus Minneapolis Hustlers in their 2nd game of the game after a tight close win earlier in the morning versus Minnesota Lightning Gibson. Lockwood looks a tad bigger and a bit stronger from May when I last [program_tooltip program_id='2123709' first='MN' last='Rush'] play. Lockwood, a good shooter from the perimeter, got to the rim and times and made his short lay-ups and shots. </p>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2917765' first='Tanner' last='Heinen'] - [program_tooltip program_id='2123709' first='MN' last='Rush'] - Heinen, a 2029 JV starter for STMA, was solid start to finish for Rush on offense and defense versus Minneapolis Hustlers. Heinen worked himself to the basket for scores and took the challenge of guarding the taller [player_tooltip player_id='2821845' first='Malik' last='Martin'], even drawing a charge in the 2nd half. Heinen didn't show off his perimeter shooting ability as he is a good outside shooter. In the first game versus Minnesota Lightning Gibson he scored 19 points leading Rush.</p>   <p>Veer Brar - Team Manitoba - The 2029 six-foot-two-inch guard led the charge for Team Manitoba offensively scoring 19 points hitting one 3-pointer in the first half and making six other shots. In the 2nd half Brar like the rest of Team Manitoba, started attacking the basket, especially in transition quickly and often to push themselves ahead in a game that was close in the first half.</p>
