Comets Shootout 17U Prospects

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1956268' first='Shay' last='Jackson'] - Just a few weeks ago, 3A State Title for Totino-Grace as one of the lead guards. This weekend running the talented athletic group for MN Select Fuerte the five-foot-eleven-inch 2027 junior point guard looked always in control. Jackson is quick and fast, and plays with good pace. Has a dribble floater in his game that he uses when defenses do stop him getting into the paint but also he can drop off passes for scores. Jackson has shooting range on his shot and doesn't over dribble and jack shots.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Shayjackson08/status/2045112570319638558 </div></figure>   <p>Samuel Afagwu - The six-foot-six-inch 2027 Pequot Lakes forward is just so incredibly active on the glass and playing with [program_tooltip program_id='2888391' first='Minnesota' last='Comets'] Hondl Afagwu proved a bit this weekend he can do it in AAU action. Afagwu has good footwork, some ability with his back to the basket, and is quick for his size. Comets Hondl ran actions with Afagwu as a point of creation at the high-post and Afagwu looked comfortable to put the ball into teammates hands in offensive action.</p>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2362161' first='Matthew' last='Johnson'] - Johnson was a favorite of mine to check out at St. Louis Park all season on video. His ability to attack off the dribble with his first step and leaping ability sets him apart from many guards. The six-foot-five-inch 2027 [program_tooltip program_id='2075672' first='Minnesota' last='Fury'] Zurn guard showed off much more this weekend. Johnson hit multiple 3-pointers in a game against Comets Hondl spotted up along the perimeter in super high percentage situations. Defensively he holds his own against bigger forwards and his combination of length and quickness enable him to poke balls loose to create turnovers.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/MatthewJohnson8/status/2044831855711485956 </div></figure>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2421164' first='Ryan' last='Miskowicz'] - The six-foot-seven-inch [program_tooltip program_id='2075672' first='Minnesota' last='Fury'] Sabin and Eagan forward Miskowicz showcased his ability to stretch the floor as a shooter, solid finishers around the rim and his ball passing ability from the high-post.

Over the course of the weekend he averaged 6 assists.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/_schmidtcrosby_/status/2044056140783178062 </div></figure>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEQKRynCXHU&t=3s </div></figure>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2126145' first='Waleed' last='Muhammad'] - The six-foot-two-inch Richfield 2027 guard for [program_tooltip program_id='2075685' first='Minnesota' last='Select'] Fuerte coming off a strong season and state tournament appearance really looked comfortable in the secondary ball handler role for Select. Muhammad showed good scoring ability, very dangerous in transition and solid rim finisher.
