Buckeye State Bash Sunday 15 U Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Prep Hoops Circuit made their way to Columbus this weekend for some intense action at Fieldhouse USA, where all the 15-17 U teams were in action. In this article we'll break down the 15 U standouts I caught on Sunday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3633312"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a00a9804f06d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A 4-0 weekend for the Ohio Saints 15 U group, they more than doubled the opposition with a very talented group. Henry III commanded the paint on both ends of the court as he's one of the more intriguing 2029 bigs I've seen in Ohio. Throwing down an alley-oop dunk near the end of the game I caught, Henry III rolls to the rim with a purpose and has the height and length to catch lobs other players can't reach. Add in the fact Henry III can play drop coverage and still contest jumpers while also protecting the rim and Henry III has some very intriguing physical gifts. Scoring on a handful of open layups on the block, the game looked easy for Henry III at times which is what you want to see from such a physically talented player for his age.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3633315"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a00a9804f0e2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Teammates at the high school and grassroots level, Barbour showed the ability to finish with either hand at the rim and was an impressive slasher. A bit of a Swiss Army knife guard, Barbour provided tough defense, played under control and scored in the paint. Looking like a player who will have a nice varsity career as he gets older, Barbour's toughness will be valuable for DeSales as their conference requires that for guards.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2930801"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a00a9804f13b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Playing a nice role on his team, Starkey impressed me thanks to his rebounding, interior defense and simple ball handling moves. Nothing flashy about his game but Starkey guarded players taller than him by being tough in the paint, didn't let the ball stick to his hands when the ball was swinging around the court and could put the ball on the deck a couple of times before going up with a shot. Future Legends HGSL 15 U got a thrilling win on Sunday in a game that had numerous players step up and make big plays.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3633319"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a00a9804f18f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The play of the weekend came when Hamilton hit a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to break a 63-63 tie and give the win for his Future Legends HGSL 15 U team. An impressive shooter from the outside, Hamilton caught and shot with confidence all game and hit the biggest shot of the weekend for his team. Brunswick is known for having shooters throughout their roster and Hamilton looks like he'll fit in well with their style of play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3633316"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a00a9804f1e1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Harris found a lot of success slashing to the rim off the dribble for Hamp Elite. A talented downhill guard, Harris is a righty but preferred to use his left hand to finish at the rim. Able to hang and hit at the rim, Harris did a nice job deciding whether to avoid contact to finish around defenders or go into contact to get to the foul line. Harris also made some clutch layups late in the game as he was fearless slashing to the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
