Sophomore ID Camp: Team 8 Evaluations

You watch Hahn play and gain a great appreciation for his skill and, even more so, his basketball smarts. And then you look and see he plays for Wisconsin Lutheran and it all makes sense. Competing for one of the best programs in the state and learning the game from stellar coaches has paid off for Hahn, a skilled wing who can knock down three-point shots or use a ball fake to get around defenders to score at the rim. He swished four triples in the first half against Team 11 and finished the game 21 points. He will battle for a spot in the Vikings' rotation as a sophomore due to his shooting skill and basketball IQ.     A combination guard who loves to slash his way to the basket, Biami-Jackson scored at a high rate for Team 8 in the half court, using his one-on-one skills to rid himself of defenders and score off the glass or with short floaters in the lane. He is in constant motion on offense so he's a handful to defend. His length and quickness with the ball also make him a tough cover. Biami-Jackson could contend for a starting spot for Dominican in 2025-26 or at the least be a member of the Knights' regular playing rotation in Nick Ford's first year as head coach.     Michalkiewicz can excel at either guard position and has an eye toward the basket at all times with the ball in his hands. He can pop in three-point shots, use his physical strength and burst to get around defenders to score or set up his teammates with his strong passing skills. Expected to contend for a spot in the playing rotation for Fond du Lac this winter, Michalkiewicz figures to be an asset in the Cardinals' backcourt in each of the next three seasons.     The versatility of Diaz' game is the first thing that stands out when you watch him compete. At 6-foot-4 and with good physical strength, Diaz can play inside or outside. He has the ball skills to attack the basket from the wing, the size and length to score in the post and the accuracy to knock down three-point shots. Diaz displayed strong ball handling and a solid understanding of the game for Team 8 in its matchup with Team 11. The son of former Kimberly standout Jason Diaz, [player_tooltip player_id='2917944' first='Koby' last='Diaz'] looks to have a bright future for Oregon and coach Chris Siebert.     A long, lanky wing prospect who has the ability to use his solid ball-handling skills to get to the basket and finish on either side of the rim, Brenn put up a bunch of points for Team 8 in its outing against Team 11 at the Prep Hoops Sophomore ID camp. Looking to make an impact on the varsity squad at St. Mary Catholic this winter with his length, skill and versatility, Brenn dropped some three-point shots in addition to his slashing ability. He'll need to get strong and add some weight to his frame, but at his size and with his skill, he can be a problem for Zephyr opponents the next three seasons.     The word is out on Smith. When you shoot 45 percent from three-point range, making 91 of 202 attempts from outside the arc, people tend to take notice. So now opponents are trying to make Smith beat them in other ways. Though he's capable off the dribble, Smith likely will need to round out his game going forward. That isn't at all unusual for such a young player, particularly one who excels in shooting like Smith. Almost 70 percent of Smith's field-goal attempts a year ago came from outside the arc and shooting from deep was what he did at the Sophomore ID camp as well. The results from deep are obviously very, very good. His next step will be to keep defenders off balance with his ability to get into the lane to score.     Quick and shifty point guard who loves to keep defenders off balance with his stop-and-go dribble, Triggs got to the basket and scored well for Team 8 at the Sophomore ID Camp in Appleton. Part of a talented group of backcourt players at Brown Deer, Triggs figures to be in the Falcons' playing rotation this season due to his quickness with the ball and his pesky on-ball defensive ability.     A lead guard with good quickness and ball-handling skill, Geller can push the ball in transition and then deliver a solid pass to a teammate for a layup. He's on the small side, but makes up for his lack of height with his speed and his skill. A capable perimeter shooter, Geller seems to be a pass-first point guard who likes to get his teammates involved.     A good player on both ends of the floor, DeCleene is the type of player all teams need in order to be successful. He will move the ball, set screens, get on the glass and make big shots. His shooting range extends to outside the three-point arc, but he also can put the ball on the ground and get to the basket to get points. Reedsville has a deep roster returning so it's unclear if DeCleene will get a varsity uniform in 2025-26. Regardless, his future with the Panthers appears bright as he continues to work his overall game.
