BATL Powered By Dr. Dish: Prospects To Note From Edina H.S.

There were a number of prospects that stood out through the weekend within their age level all across the Minneapolis area. Here are five individuals that captivated the crowd while I was in the gym watching them compete at Edina High School.   Battle at the Lakes is powered by Dr. Dish—the world's #1 selling shooting machine, helping players get 5X more reps and unlock their potential at home. <a href="https://hubs.ly/Q03l3YDy0" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Click Here to Train Like a Pro</a>.    Thanks for tuning in and enjoy!    Davis is an active and athletic power at the Guard position. She moves well off of the ball as a SG or CG but he thrives when the rock is in his possession as a PG. Her mixture of athletic ability and skill helps him get to the hoop with ease offensively. From there he usually makes a bucket on either side of the hoop and if he happens to miss then he is the type who can go right back up and grab his own miss for another attempt quicker than anyone else around him. Defensively, he holds his own. He beats his opponents to their spots a good amount of the time and if he doesn't, he has great recovery time. It was a good weekend for Davis as a whole. He stood out in his own moments and that was impressive with the team he is running with.     Ben Kalimu is all go. He is all gas, no breaks. He was relentless while attacking all weekend long. If he ever got a first step within the half court on his opponent, he made sure to make them pay by getting all the way for a finish or free throw attempts. He did have some other prospects with size advantages on his roster the last few days so he made the most of that as he stayed aggressive throughout. There is a lot to like out of Kalimu. He has a bright future if he sticks with it moving forward.     If you want to see a prospect with a lot of raw potential, look at De'Anthony Jackson of Forward Thinking Basketball. Jackson is listed at 6'3 with a long reach, impressive athleticism, and a smart head on his shoulders. He is the type that takes what the defense gives to him and that's why he is so successful in the grand scheme of things. Jackson shined in multiple contests over the last three days. He stood out in meaningful victories and I'm sure that theme will stay consistent as they move into the rest of their AAU season.     Zeb Robinson is as cool as they come. He is a smooth operator when the ball is in his hands. He makes everything he does look effortless on offense, almost like he is floating out on the floor when he is on that side of the ball. The more efficient he becomes, the better he will look as he continues to grow in his game-style. If he wants to compete at the college level within a good program then he is going to have to show how he can be a leading Guard at the 1 position. We saw glimpses of that this weekend and the skill is obviously there so now it's all about continue to put it together as a whole. With that being said, still one of the best Guard's I saw this weekend.     If you are examining the SF position and breaking down what makes a someone a good Forward, Malik Martin checks off a lot of those boxes even though he is only coming off of his Freshman year of High School competition. Martin is a true SF with skill, size, a soft touch on the ball, balanced coordination, and he loves physicality. He is good with his back to the basket and versatile enough to attack from the outside as well. On defense he is someone that everyone has to worry about as they attack. If not, it's going to end in a block for Martin. He is too quick to react and too athletic for most. I can see why this is the #1 rated hooper for the 2029 Class in Minnesota. He is already killing it and he is only going to get better with experience.
