He averaged nearly 20 points a game and more than doubled his scoring average. He's a tough lefty who is strong on the drive and crafty around the basket. He should surpass 1,000 career points in the early part of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2701071' first='Jase' last='Smith'] (North Platte): A 5'10 point guard who is a talented player in the NWMO area. He is an excellent perimeter shooter with range that extends well beyond the 3-point line. He can also handle the ball and create a shot. He played well this summer for the [program_tooltip program_id='2119127' first='Missouri' last='Hawks'] 16U team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2414259' first='Max' last='Snider'] (Scott City): A 6'2 wing player who is an excellent small school talent in the SEMO area. He is a potent offensive player with the ball in his hands or when he's moving without the ball. He can shoot it from 3-point range and he can attack the close outs on drives. He helped lead Scott City to 24 wins last season. He was one of the top players for [program_tooltip program_id='2607320' first='SEMO' last='Select']'s 16U team during the summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2836988' first='Blayne' last='Wilson'] (Jefferson, pictured): A talented guard from the Jefferson County area who is effective on the drive or when he's letting it fly from long distance.
