<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Check out the top shooters that I saw at The Platform in Chicago!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2675420' first='Quinn' last='Carroll'] WolvesILL 2029</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Carroll is an incoming freshman who shot it well all weekend. In every game he made three or more shots from behind the arc and 6 in one game alone. He's a marksman who makes shots from standstill and on the move. He will be a healthy addition to the Lyons Township program.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Bryton Nostrant Real 2029</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nostrant playing up with the 15u squad made a statement over the weekend. As the point guard he did a great job of playing under control and commanding the team. Bryton isn't very quick or doesn't have much wiggle to his game but what he can do is score from all three levels using a high IQ. Nostrant made shots from deep and from mid-range. His feel for pressure was so good as if he's always played with older guys. I can see him included in the initial state list for the Michigan 2029 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2563241' first='Xavier' last='Williams'] Geek Squad 2028</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Williams is an uncanny player who doesn't pass the eye test off first observation, but as you watch he comes off the bench and knocks down several threes you suddenly change your opinion. Xavier's shot is also a bit different as he has a quick release and not much of a follow through but it goes in and that's all that matters.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2194657' first='Josiah' last='Hall'] Geek Squad 2028</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Josiah showed off his outside touch and how much he's improved his handle and feel for the game. In the spring Hall was a long-range sniper and at times this weekend he scored some key shots from the corner three-point line that he made in key moments. Josiah is expected to have a bigger role during the high school season with a much-improved scoring arsenal.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Timmy Van Gorp Midwest Bobcats 2028</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Van Gorp is a long and slender 6'6 forward who made shots from the top of the key. He is useful in high-ball screens and for good spacing against zone defenses. Timmy must add some weight and strength to become a college prospect and with 3 years left to go that's a possibility.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Cezar Casanova Michigan Jayhawks 2029&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Casanova is a small control the pace point guard who made some big shots from three in the game on Sunday. His main role was to run the offense which he did with hard drives in the lane and simple kick out to the corners. It was his shooting that kept his team in the game. Cezar was effective off the ball in catch-and-shoot opportunities. Another guard who played up a level for his program should be very good going into high school next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2389235' first='Caden' last='Thomas'] [player_tooltip player_id='2391665' first='Kessel' last='Heat'] 2028&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Thomas made the list off his performance on Sunday. He nailed 3 three-pointers in the game. Caden is a dependable shot maker who roams on the perimeter. He was a benefactor of his big man [player_tooltip player_id='2835732' first='William' last='Laidig'] being doubled in the post at times. Thomas served as a solid third scorer for Kessel.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
