Utah Top 50: Rockford Lightning vs. Fort Wayne Fury

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Right off the bat, the first thing I noticed was that [player_tooltip player_id='1278450' first='Isaiah' last='Drisdom'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1598259' first='Makai' last='Allen'] are on the same team—it's just not fair at the high school level. They proved to be just as good as anyone on any team at The Utah Top 50. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1598259' first='Makai' last='Allen'], Provo</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Allen showcased remarkable talent, proving to be a force to be reckoned with. His offensive prowess was evident as he quickly tallied 13 points with efficient shooting. Defensively, he was equally impactful, making it challenging for opponents to penetrate. When teams weren't employing a strong defensive strategy, Allen's exceptional quickness allowed him to exploit opportunities, displaying a versatile skillset. His athleticism, explosive first step, and accurate shooting all point to a promising future; he is undeniably a player to watch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2460889' first='Asher' last='Spence'], Dixie</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>If you're not familiar with Spence's game, you need to pay attention because he has improved significantly since his freshman year. He might go unnoticed for a while as he's a 50%er after transferring from Desert Hills to Dixie this past year. Spence possesses a dynamic skill set, excelling at creating space and finding his way to the rim. He is a player to watch moving forward, and his contributions should elevate the Dixie team to new heights during region play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1278450' first='Isaiah' last='Drisdom'], Highland</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Drisdom is a mature player who has elevated his game over the years, and, entering his senior season, he is going to have all the things you look for in a lead guard. He was moving the ball, making the extra pass, and directing traffic. These are the things that you might not see on the stat sheet, or things that might not be glamorous, but Drisdom is a difference-maker. His scoring is obvious, but the way he was attacking the glass was refreshing. Excited to watch him this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2388587' first='Bracken' last='Saunders'], Morgan</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>What an absolute steal this kid is going to be. He shoots the ball well, and his game on the perimeter is high-level. Can't say enough when talking about how good a player he is and will be at the next level. Saunders could and should be getting some LM looks. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Dante Rodriguez, Wasatch</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rodriguez is a sleeper prospect who has upside. If you are a small college program looking to develop someone for the future, he is a kid you need to watch. He has a length of 6'9 and he has some decent footwork to work with. He is still raw in all aspects, but his length and possible rim-protecting ability could really elevate his stock.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
