ETG Midwest 17U: Look Back on the Frontcourt

Nebraska's premiere AAU program is loaded with Division I talent that competed on the 3SSB Circuit this summer.    An wing that can throw down dunks with some of the best in the state, [player_tooltip player_id='2453081' first='Goanar' last='Bamach'] is near freak athlete territory. A twitchy athlete that can fly through the air for dunks and blocked shots, Bamach is a springy, quick defender and he shows it on a consistent basis.   Bamach is almost always a threat to poke the ball away or jump into a passing lane, and no layup is safe in transition, as he shows the ability to track down the fastbreak and swat away shots at the rim. His anticipation both as an on-ball defender and help defender stand out.   A little on the thin side, Bamach can get pushed around as a ball-handler and can be a little erratic offensively, but if he strengthens up and adds some weight to his frame between now and November, he could jump onto the scene as a heavily-coveted prospect in Nebraska.   Bamach hasn't posted any offers at this point in time, and, unless he's purposefully keeping his recruitment quiet, it's a bit of a shock. If anything, the potential he possesses as an athlete should push programs to offer.     A long wing with some bounce, [player_tooltip player_id='2861064' first='Emre' last='Gedik'] is the exact prototype college programs crave on the perimeter as a defender, shooter and as a threat to score in transition. With his leaping ability and length, Gedik can get up and throw down dunks in transition and hit open shots from the perimeter, but also poke away passes and swat shots.   I'd like his first step to be quicker and to become more consistent of a threat as a shooter, but the tools are there to work with.   Similarly to Bamach, Gedik hasn't posted any offers at this point in time. Gedik belongs on a Division I roster somewhere. Whether it's low or mid-major, he would have the chance to develop and become a rotational piece at the D1 level, at the very least.     Now standing at 6'6" according to the ETG roster, Derek Rollins just finished up his final year on the 3SSB Circuit. He will play a year of post-grad ball for Elite Futures Prep after largely receiving Division II offers out of Millard North.   Similar to Gedik, Rollins can throw down some ferocious dunks, and his length is a calling card on the perimeter. He's not super quick and neither is his shot release, but Rollins' body control and smooth stroke make him an offensive threat. In addition to the added two inches to his frame, Rollins is a thick, physical presence who won't get bullied as a defender and won't get pushed off his spots as a scorer. He's confident offensively and force anything or get sped up.     One of the top scorers in the state and a lethal shooter from just about anywhere on the court, [player_tooltip player_id='1430444' first='Jacob' last='Webber'] has become a coveted prospect nationally after showing off his capabilities this summer. Heavily-recruited by second-tier high-major programs prior to this summer, the sharp-shooting wing picked up offers from Purdue and Tennessee after strong performances on the 3SSB circuit.   A true volume shooter that can make shots from all around the three-point line, Webber's ability to hit tough, deep shots from all angles make him a threat to score at will. With his gravity on the court, he forces opposing defenses to account for him at all times, leaving his teammates open to make plays and score themselves.
