<p>The PrepHoops Oregon Freshman Showcase took place on Sunday morning and many of the state's top incoming high school players were at the Beaverton Hoop YMCA for some high-level competition. This week, we take a look at our scouting notes for each individual roster, breaking down this huge crop of talent player-by-player. Here's a look at Team Ten:</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2891014' first='Hunter' last='Holestine'] (2029 Central)</strong> - Solid 6-foot guard didn't get a ton of chances but made the most out of what he got, whether it was off the catch-and-shoot or using the dribble to create. The incoming Central guard has a nice-looking stroke on his perimeter shot and was active taking whatever the defense gave him. Good effort on the defensive end as well.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2910346' first='Kyle' last='Lattimer'] (2029 Nelson) </strong>- A little undersized for a post player at 6-foot-2, Lattimer more than made up for his lack of height with his build and strength. The incoming freshman at Nelson battled inside, backing defenders down for scores, and was a factor on the boards on both ends of the floor.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2920519' first='Drake' last='Maul'] (2029 Sandy)</strong> - Hard-nosed 6-foot-1 guard played solid team ball the entire event. He shot the ball when open showing a nice touch, but was equally fine with setting up teammates or doing things off the ball like setting screens or hitting the glass.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2790667' first='Scottie' last='Miller'] (2029 South Medford) </strong>- Coming up from Medford, Miller opened some eyes with his high energy style of play. He was extremely aggressive offensively looking for his own shot whether it was launching from the perimeter or attacking the basket, but the motor wasn't limited to scoring attempts. The 6-foot-2 wing was all over the floor rebounding and defending the basketball, where he was constantly on the hunt for steals and blocked shots.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2910099' first='Kendall' last='Hopkins-McGlothen'] (2029 Benson) </strong>- The #2 ranked player going into the event, Hopkins-McGloten lived up to billing as one of the top performers of the day. The 6-foot-4 lefty swingman is a smooth scorer, capable of knocking down deep threes or creating off the dribble and finishing around the hoop with either hand. He probably made getting buckets look easier than anyone else on the court and should be an immediate contributor at Benson</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2916647' first='Jerry' last='Robinson'] (2029 Benson) </strong>- Robinson showed good scoring ability, both in the full court and 3x3 action. The 5-foot-8 incoming Benson freshman showed off a solid shot from the perimeter and good quickness attacking the hoop off the bounce. Thanks to his high octane style of play, he was able to sneak in for rebounds getting the ball over players bigger than him.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2949820' first='Ethan' last='Roberts'] (2029 Canby)</strong> - Roberts didn't get many offensive looks in the game we watched, but was able to hit a jumper and draw contact on a drive to the hoop. The 5-foot-11 future Canby Cougar played good team basketball by looking to make the extra pass and hunker down with solid on-the-ball defensive.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Amani Faveta (2029 Willamette) </strong>- Well-built guard didn't get a lot of opportunities to handle the basketball so he took his game to the interior to battle on the boards and get down on defense. Despite his 5-foot-11 he wasn't afraid of contact in the least and showed off a good motor.</p>
