Cream City Collision: Jack's Friday Night Elite

Here are seven top performers from opening night of the Prep Hoops Cream City Collision in Milwaukee!    Karti looked like a man amongst boys in a Friday night win, owning the painted area on both ends of the floor. The freshman forward used his strong 6'6” frame to fight through contact and finish through multiple defenders at a time. A good portion of his scoring damage came from second chance opportunities, as he was so effective crashing the offensive boards. Calvert can also stretch the floor and connected on a pair of triples, one pulling up off the dribble and the other off the catch.     Max is one of the quickest 15U prospects I have ever seen and was impossible to stay in front of on Friday night. He has elite change of pace and burst, combined with a tight handle. He can throw several dribble combinations at a defender to blow right by them. McMullen had some tough finishes through contact and was getting everyone involved with some impressive kick out passes for easy looks as well.     Jordan turned in an all-around fantastic performance in a blowout win on opening night. The 6'3” sophomore was scoring very effectively. He was hitting on three-point looks from deep, working into a pull-up mid-range, or getting all the way downhill for a tough finish. Aside from his scoring, he was very unselfish, and was getting all of his teammates involved. Schroeder was dismantling the opposing defense, creating a high quality look every time he touched the ball.     Kash impacts the game in so many ways and is a swiss-army knife for this loaded [program_tooltip program_id='2391400' first='Team' last='Herro'] squad. The freshman wing has a long 6'4” frame and is able to guard a variety of positions defensively with his lateral quickness and length. Offensively, he was at his best when getting downhill, drawing a lot of fouls and being able to use touch or power on finishes at the rim. Knueppel is a capable three-level scorer and very versatile defender.     Carter was super fun to watch with the ball in his hands, making all kinds of plays in the open floor. He is a very crafty 5'9” sophomore guard, making some impressive no-look passes to teammates and weaving through the pressure of the defense look easy. He is so quick and was finding a lot of success blowing by defenders then making the correct read to score himself or dish to a teammate.     Logan also had a very well-rounded performance for [program_tooltip program_id='2075807' first='Ray' last='Allen Select'] on opening night, being a key piece in the blowout win. He has solid size for a guard, as the long 6'3” sophomore looked good when pushing the pace in transition, being able to go score himself or find a teammate for a better look. He is a major threat to shoot it from deep and was taking advantage of the defense helping off of him. LaValle can score in a variety of ways, as well as affect the game with his passing and defending.     Zion is another key guard prospect on this [program_tooltip program_id='2075807' first='Ray' last='Allen Select'] squad that impacted the game in a variety of ways. He was a pest defensively, getting his hands in passing lanes and pressuring opposing guards. He had a couple transition baskets, using his speed to get down the floor. Vale is also a knockdown shooter and was connecting on open catch-and-shoot looks from beyond the arc.
