<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Floor spacing and perimeter shooting were on full display throughout the Great Lakes Finals weekend at Wintrust Sports Complex. There was no shortage of guards and wings stepping up with timely shot-making performances. Whether it was catch-and-shoot confidence, movement shooting, or big makes in pressure moments, multiple prospects made their presence felt from beyond the arc. Here's a look at some of the promising shooters that stood out over the weekend at Great Lakes Finals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2406501"],"_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-6a14d0fdba7b2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Have seen Geek Squad 17U across the circuit this spring a handful of times, and Wilder consistently shows up as a threat from deep. Confident volume shooter who can heat up quickly and create gravity on the perimeter. Uses a strong jab step to separate defenders and create space for his release. Comfortable knocking down corner and wing threes off the catch with clean arc and rhythm. Primarily a catch-and-shoot weapon who forces closeouts and spaces the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2615524"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":3651175,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6a14daafbf75e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Noticed Decleene's shot-making ability against Rise Up (Canada) on Saturday afternoon. Ready-to-shoot mindset with strong movement off the ball. Knocked down multiple threes in the game, with three of them coming from the corner. Whether spotting up or using ball screens to create space, he showed the perimeter threat he can be. Delivered some big-time shot making for Wisconsin Blizzard 16U in a 1-3 weekend where each loss was competitive and close. Also showed glimpses of being able to handle the ball and get downhill to the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2125588"],"_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-6a14daafbf791"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kammes' stock continues to rise, and he's expected to be featured in our next rankings update. A pure shooter who can flat out make shots at a high level, he doesn't wait for the ball to find him and instead creates his own opportunities through movement. Uses screens effectively to flare off and generate clean looks, consistently staying active off the ball. Shows good elevation with a quick, compact release and doesn't need much space to get his shot off. It's routine for him to knock down multiple threes in a game, serving as a momentum piece for a solid [program_tooltip program_id='2076459' first='Breakaway' last=''] 17U Gold team. He also recently received his first D2 offer from Roosevelt University.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2416443"],"_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-6a14daafbf7b3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Perimeter length is a plus, and his size gives him a natural advantage in getting his shot off over defenders. Shows a high, consistent arc and is effective in spot-up situations from multiple areas on the floor. Comfortable rising over contests and knocking down looks in rhythm. Adds value on the defensive end as well, where he contributes as a glass cleaner and helps secure possessions. Brings a steady two-way presence for [program_tooltip program_id='2956191' first='Slam' last='City Elite'].</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2830820"],"_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-6a14daafbf7d3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sunday morning against Jackets Elite 17U out of Michigan, Hayes showed his effectiveness as a deadly left-handed shooter. Knocked down a smooth corner three and multiple catch-and-shoot looks with high, clean arc and confidence. Showed movement shooting ability by burying a corner three fading right off an inbounds play. His shooting touch is feathery, and his ability to consistently get into proper spacing stands out as an overlooked but valuable trait. Helped 2 Face Elite finish 4-1 and reach the Silver Championship.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
