Really good defensively with the ability to be mobile and guard all over the floor. Has shown a soft touch on the offensive end with a nice clean stroke on his jump shot that stretches out to the three-point line. Big time backcourt trio from the Evansville Area led by 5'10” Matteo Mallory (Evansville Mater Dei). Really mature point guard prospect that makes the game look easy. Doesn't get sped up and competes on both ends. 5'10” Guard Gaige Lubbehusen (Heritage Hills) is a sharpshooting lefty that can get going in a hurry. [player_tooltip player_id='3016391' first='Quentin' last='Glisson'] (Evansville Memorial) is a combo guard that is wired to score. Really good off the ball and does a good job playing on balance. Bralynn Dennison (New Albany) is a nice physical wing that uses his size and physicality to get downhill and is able to finish around the basket in a variety of different ways.   Schedule:   Saturday: MeanStreets; Team M-XIV; [program_tooltip program_id='2076927' first='Indy' last='Heat'] 2030-Red   [program_tooltip program_id='2076166' first='Grand' last='Park Premier'] 2030-Red: Led by one of the top 2030 point guards in the state of Indiana 6'0” [player_tooltip player_id='3605201' first='Maddox' last='Smith'] (Westfield) GPP 2030-Red will come into Run N' Slam as one of the favorites. Smith impacts the game in so many different ways in both ends of the floor. He plays at his own pace and is very difficult to speed up. He has elite court vision that operates the pick and roll looking to make the right play. When it comes down to it, he can go get his own bucket by using his body to his advantage and finishes around the basket while also being a capable three-point shooter. Forwards Warner Schantz (Center Grove) and Evan Miller (Tri-West) are two athletic and skilled forwards that have complimentary games. Both rebound and defend at high levels while both are capable of stepping out and hitting perimeter jumpers.   Schedule:   Saturday: Midwest Basketball Club 2030-CKY; Wolves Academy-Krauhlik; West Michigan Premier-Cooper   Power 5 2030 3SSB: Power 5 3SSB 2030 out of Wisconsin features two of the players in the Midwest in 6'3” 2030 Guard Justin Cato Jr and 6'4” 2031 Guard [player_tooltip player_id='2780604' first='Braylin' last='Calhoun']. The young prospects are among the most dynamic players in not only the Midwest, but in the entire country. Cato is a smooth guard who is mature beyond his years and is a highlight waiting to happen. He knows how to use his body well to get in the lane and he is explosive when he takes off having the ability to finish above the rim. Calhoun is another player that plays with so much maturity. He's obviously a bigger prospect for his age, but he dominates games with his skill. He makes the game look easy with his scoring ability from all three level combined with his size and athleticism. They will be amongst two of the top players to watch at Run N' Slam and should lead Power 5 2030 3SSB to a great weekend.   Schedule:   Saturday: Be Legendary Hoop Dreams 2030; [program_tooltip program_id='2075551' first='Indiana' last='Game']-Gold; God's Gift   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">15u Teams</h2>   Indiana Elite 2029 3SSB: A balanced team with star power all over the floor. Led by 6'8” Forward Bob Da Silva (AOA, OH) a powerful inside-out forward that is a matchup nightmare at the 15u level. Da Silva paired with frontcourt mate in 6'8” Forward [player_tooltip player_id='2385390' first='Max' last='Hopkins'] (Fishers), Indiana Elite has skill at all positions. Hopkins plays with a high motor to go along with good footwork and a soft touch around the basket with the ability to step out and hit shots from the perimeter off the catch. As intriguing as the frontcourt is, the backcourt has elite pieces with everything you need to be a big time AAU team. [player_tooltip player_id='2956681' first='Will' last='Tonagel'] (Oak Hill), [player_tooltip player_id='2860080' first='Tristan' last='Breland'] (Fishers), and [player_tooltip player_id='2888227' first='Karson' last='Stoudemire'] (New Albany) are as productive as a trio as you'll find. Tonagel is a prototypical high IQ point guard that runs the show. Breland is electric in the open floor with elite speed and athleticism that allows him to finish at the rim at a high level. Stoudemire is a powerful combo guard that impacts the game on both ends of the floor.   Schedule:   Friday: Griffin Elite UA Rise   Saturday: BTOB NXTPRO; Michigan Unified 2029 P32   [program_tooltip program_id='2400000' first='Indiana' last='Elite Team Indiana'] 15u: One of the more intriguing teams that I have seen several times already this summer. A bit streaky offensively, but when they are connected, they can score in a variety of different ways. 6'6” Wing/Forward [player_tooltip player_id='2889976' first='Romyiez' last='Calvin'] (Evansville Harrison) has been on an absolute tear to start the spring. Has a knack for getting to the basket with his physicality and finishes at a high level.

Also a big time rebounder and versatile defender. [player_tooltip player_id='2361891' first='Izzy' last='Hutcheson'] (Don Bosco) is rounds out the impact perimeter players for Team Indiana. Athletic wing that is a capable shooter but thrives getting downhill where he uses his size and athleticism to his advantage.   Schedule   Friday: Martin Brothers USA   Saturday: BTO Premier 3SPG; Gateway Knights   Michigan Unified 2029 P32: Gotten a couple looks from Michigan Unified 2029 P32 this spring and it's a roster full of versatility and size. 6'9” Center Ryan Williams (Detroit Country Day, MI) is a wide body that impacts the game inside the paint. Good footwork on the low block while being an excellent rebounder and rim protector. Considering his size, he gets from one end of the floor o the other really well being able to fight for position. 6'4” Shooting Guard [player_tooltip player_id='2442329' first='Ben' last='Varrie'] (Benton Harbor, MI) is a long and athletic guard that impacts the game on both ends of the floor. He's a shifty guard with good length and burst that allows him to get to his spots and finish through contact. He's wired to score and has the ability to do it all over the floor. Has the potential to be a major two-way threat that guards multiple positions. [player_tooltip player_id='2957220' first='Max' last='Westerdale'] (Grosse Ile, MI) is a crafty combo guard that runs the show. Has a knack for getting in the lane and making plays for himself as well as others. Has his handle on a string and is a creative driver and finisher when he gets all the way to the basket. Capable of putting up big time numbers.   Schedule   Friday: BTOB NXTPRO   Saturday: Griffin Elite UA Rise; Indiana Elite 2029 3SSB   Progeny 2029 UAA: One of the more intriguing roster that I've gotten eyes on this spring, Progeny 2029 UAA has a nice balance with their backcourt and front court. [player_tooltip player_id='3033224' first='Jayden' last='Kennedy'] (Cathedral), [player_tooltip player_id='2967107' first='Wyatt' last='Wilkins'] (Floyd Central), and [player_tooltip player_id='2426898' first='Christian' last='Hughes'] (Crown Point) are a trio of guards that compliment each others games extremely well. Kennedy has been the top offensive option with the ball in his hands throughout the early part of the spring. He's a lightning quick guard that thrives on getting downhill while being the head of the snake on the defensive end. Wilkins is crafty with the ball that can get downhill and does a good job finishing at the basket in a variety of different ways while also having a soft touch in the midrange. Hughes is an athletic combo guard that's comfortable playing on or off the ball. Shoots it well from three while having the ability to get past his defender and finish above the rim. He's a terror on the defensive end with his activity looking to turn defense into offense in a hurry. [player_tooltip player_id='2972974' first='Wyatt' last='Frazier'] (Evansville Mater Dei) is a versatile piece on the wing that shoots it well off the catch while also having the ability to put it on the floor as a playmaker. The forward duo of [player_tooltip player_id='2892383' first='Corey' last='Brown'] Jr (Gary Lighthouse) and [player_tooltip player_id='2927921' first='Cayden' last='McCreanor'] (Lawrenceburg) are two big time rebounds on both ends of the floor. Brown continues to improve his inside-out offensive game, while McCreanor is a physical lefty that has a soft touch and good footwork around the basket.
