Freshman Showcase: Team 4 Breakdown

We hosted the Freshman Camp at Gold Crown on September 7th, bringing together over 140 players from across the state to compete and showcase their abilities. The energy in the gym was high, with plenty of talent on display and several prospects making their mark. Here's a look at the Freshman from Team 4 who stood out during the event.    Kuhn showed patience as a true point guard who can read what is happening on the court. He handled pressure with poise, broke presses, and distributed to open teammates, which is not something you see too much of in a showcase setting. Offensively, he attacked downhill and knocked down threes with smooth form as a reliable shooter. His balance of scoring and facilitating, paired with aggressiveness and confidence, made him one of the stronger all-around floor generals at the showcase. Liked what we saw from 864.     Allen was a confident primary ball handler who got to his spots on the floor. His vision and awareness allowed him to create for teammates, though at times he played too fast. When he slowed down, he became more efficient and effective, and that is when the game slowed down for him, and he was most successful. That's when teammates cut for passes, and he was able to score as well. We want to see more of that!     Terrien played with a high motor, hunting mid-range looks and aggressively attacked mismatches throughout the event. He turned defense into offense with timely steals and pushed the pace to create easy baskets. Terrien's assertiveness, scoring ability, and competitiveness stood out, proving he's a guard who thrives off-ball but can also make plays happen with the ball in his hands as well.     Rothe showcased himself as a dynamic guard. He lit up the 3-on-3 portion of the day with shot-making and carried it into 5-on-5 by thriving in transition. He finished off outlets, ran the break, and buried threes with consistency. He even mixed in some crafty no-look passes. Rothe's scoring ability and creativity make him one of the top guards to track moving forward, and he was a player who had plenty of moments during the event.     At a showcase, you are looking for who does the little things that help teams win. Enter, Barbarych. He rebounded at a high rate, used footwork to finish inside, and showed creativity around the rim. He embraced physicality and consistently found ways to contribute. Though not always flashy in a showcase environment, Barbarych's effort, work ethic, and fundamentals separated him as a reliable interior presence. We appreciated those moments.     White was one of the top freshman performers on the day, and it was not close. At 6'2, he combined size, maturity, and vision. He initially stood out to me as one of the top scorers, but then he added himself as the top facilitator in the freshman class as well. He ran the floor, finished inside, and got teammates easy looks. His balanced game, high IQ, and unselfishness made him one of the day's MVPs and a player ready for varsity right now. HUGE showing from Taggart, and I'd buy stock early if I were you.     Miller embraced a glue-guy role at the event, and that is not something that you see too often in this kind of setting. He set screens that freed scorers, rolled hard to the rim, and finished efficiently. He boxed out consistently, rebounded, and showed active hands defensively. Miller's movement and willingness to do the small things created scoring opportunities for his team. His activity level and unselfishness made him a reliable contributor all day and one of my favorite watches for that class.
