After spotlighting standouts from this past weekend's action in Bedford Park, it's time to zero in on another key group. These prospects separated themselves with their shooting ability, showing range, confidence, and the ability to stretch the floor from beyond the arc.    Flynn brought much-needed shooting from distance for [program_tooltip program_id='2414566' first='Mike' last='Glennon Elite'] 17U, he consistently pressured opposing defenses and forced defenders to extend out. The lefty showed confidence knocking down three's around the arc and wasn't hesitant to let it fly when given space. He did a nice job relocating to create clean looks and displayed a quick trigger out of the triple-threat position.     From the moment Cooper let his shot go, he grabbed attention. The underclassman brings a true 3-and-D presence, combining perimeter shooting with the ability to defend. He used his length well to cut off drives and showed solid lateral quickness on the defensive end. Offensively, he displayed a smooth, confident stroke from three and thrived as a spot-up option with a clean, high release that is tough to contest.     Muhammad was a standout from three-point territory for [program_tooltip program_id='2076904' first='Chicago' last='Hoops'] 16U, showcasing deep range and a confident shooting stroke. He was comfortable letting it fly in high volume, particularly from the corner, where he consistently looked to spot up and space the floor. His quick trigger and willingness to shoot in rhythm made him a reliable perimeter threat.     Before noon on Saturday, Drive Pro Select Black 17U Kayler Morris quickly grabbed eyes with a smooth, confident shooting stroke. His three-point marksmanship includes a beautiful rotation and consistency in his mechanics. He stepped into his shot comfortably and showed himself to be a true knockdown shooter. His quick release allows him to get attempts off efficiently, even with minimal space.     Monti was active as a perimeter shooter for M14 N1 16U, spacing the floor and spotting up along the arc, especially from the corner where that seemed to be a hot spot. He showed a good shooting arc and capitalized on opportunities created off movement. He also demonstrated awareness off the ball, using back cuts and screens effectively to force defenders to chase, allowing him to relocate and get clean catch-and-shoot looks.     The rising sophomore was a highlight for [program_tooltip program_id='2076459' first='Breakaway' last=''] 3SSB 15U, impacting the game both as a creator and perimeter threat. With the ball in his hands, he showed the ability to create off the dribble and make plays.
