Guards at Future Stars Classic Playing 14U

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2438710' first='Damien' last='Barnes Jr']. - Mpls Hustlers - Barnes is five-foot-nine-inch 2029 guard from Minneapolis Camden guard who ran the point for the Hustlers. Good ball handler and straight line driver to the basket, and can defend. Barnes can pass, and the ball doesn't stick in his hands much. From the times I've watched him, doesn't look for his jump shot a lot so there's room for development there.</p>   <p>Adam Ambers - Michiana Ball Hawks - Ambers is a six-foot-one-inch guard from Indiana that plays for the Ball Hawks. Ambers was aggressive in a game vs [program_tooltip program_id='2123709' first='MN' last='Rush'] scoring 13 points in the first half and immediately to open the 2nd pushed with the ball to the basket for scores. </p>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2859921' first='Adam' last='Kieffer'] - MN Fury Kompelien - Kieffer is a five-foot-six-inch Shakopee guard that in the final game of the day showed his long range shooting ability. As a whole this Fury team really spread the floor and shot it from beyond the 3-point line and Kieffer was the most accurate in this game. Kieffer is quick on his feet and a quick shot release and moves without the ball.</p>   <p>Brayden Moravec - [program_tooltip program_id='2123709' first='MN' last='Rush'] - The 2029 guard from Rogers I've witnessed play football and basketball for the last couple years. Moravec has an incredible work ethic, and keeps working all the time all over the court. Good ball handler, and showed ability to make short-range floaters around the rim.</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://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zidcVH_DgY&t=11s&ab_channel=StreetHistoryVideos </div></figure>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2829401' first='Sam' last='Lee'] - [program_tooltip program_id='2075702' first='MN' last='Lightning'] Gibson - Lee is a 2030 six-foot-one-inch guard from Kasson-Mantorville who scored 13 points versus [program_tooltip program_id='2123709' first='MN' last='Rush'] in a tight defeat. Lee has been consistent this year for Gibson playing off the ball. He has the ability to hit long range shots and is a solid ball handler.</p>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2858072' first='Josiah' last='Roberts'] - Mpls Hustlers - Roberts is five-foot-eleven-inch guard that did things without the ball to help Mpls Hustlers versus a Team Warwick 14-2 team. Roberts consistently got out into the open court to receive passes for transition baskets. Playing almost entirely off the ball offensively I didn't get to see everything Roberts could do. </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://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOBsh51LD0w </div></figure>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2382427' first='Ezekiel' last='Duo'] - [program_tooltip program_id='2075310' first='Northstar' last='Titans'] Strand - Duo is a 2029 guard from Maple Grove that is a hard seam driver with the ball. Traditional point guard type with the ball, hardnosed defender. Duo is quick on the perimeter offensively and defensively with his hands and his feet.</p>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2481885' first='Deng' last='Mayen'] - Sanford Sports Academy Black - Mayen is a six-foot-two-inch guard from Sioux Fall Jefferson that did a lot of the ball handling for SSA Black. Mayen brought the ball up the court and handled the offense. Mayen seems to have a quick first step and good length, especially the POA spot. Mayen seems to be in a development stage that the next step he takes he could really expand his game. </p>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2879421' first='Payton' last='Sorensen'] - Sanford Sports Academy Black - Sorensen is a five-foot-seven-inch guard from Dakota Valley, SD that really showed an aggressive offensive style versus SSA ND East. With the ball in his hands he made plays to get to spots and show confidence in his jump shot. Sorensen can shoot from the perimeter as well.</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://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wogyqzaqERQ&t=17s&ab_channel=StreetHistoryVideos </div></figure>   <p>Tise Obasoto - Team Manitoba - Obasoto is a change of pace guard for Team Manitoba. He came off the bench and used his aggressive style with the ball to put pressure on the defense. Obasota defensively looked a bit stronger and athletic than his competition and took advantage.</p>   <p>Veer Brar - Team Manitoba - Brar was the leader of Team Manitoba taking majority of the ball handling responsibility and scoring. In the championship game Brar got them out to a solid first half lead hitting three 3-pointers. In their opening game he put up 19 points in a variety of ways going to the basket.</p>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2442366' first='Charlie' last='Erickson'] - Team Warwick 14U Ulvestad - The 2029 five-foot-ten-inch Sioux Fall Jefferson guard was Ulvestad's lead ball handler but it could be hard to tell with their style of play. Erickson showed when he had the ball it didn't stick, he moved the ball quickly.</p>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2836129' first='Camden' last='Jones'] - Team Warwick 14U Ulvestad - The 2029 six-foot-one-inch guard from Dell Rapids was all over the court in the championship and was a key contributor to Warwick's 2nd half comeback win. Jones moved without the ball well and made himself available and took advantage of those chances scoring close to the basket. Defensively Jones was active as well.</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://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lrg2oppkdso&t=12s&ab_channel=StreetHistoryVideos </div></figure>   <p>Jarell Ayed - Wisconsin 26ers - The 2030 guard playing 14U Ayed displayed again he's a bit more mature and is a bit better than the competition he's playing against. Ayed is a good ball handler, can shoot from the perimeter, and can make plays going to the basket. With his ability as a player getting stronger and more mature will just make Ayed even better. </p>
