PH Cream City Collision: Max's Day 3 Standouts

Seven prospects who stood out on Sunday in Milwaukee at the Prep Hoops Cream City Collision!    Kager had a lights out shooting performance on Sunday in a win over Geek Squad out of Chicago. At 6'10 he was extending his range to well beyond the college court's three point line, even hitting one from behind the volleyball line later in the game. He's so difficult to match up with because he can simply shoot over the top of smaller wings. Try to defend him with a bigger forward though, and Kager showed the handle/change of direction at 6'10 to beat them off the dribble and get to the rim. He's starting to look more and more aggressive on the offensive end, which could be trouble for the Wisconsin high school scene next winter.     Brady helped lead The New Threat to a comeback win over [program_tooltip program_id='2075258' first='ABC' last='Young Lions'] in the 8am game on Sunday. The 5'10 guard is a pure shooter, with such a quick release on his shot. He was constantly moving without the ball looking to find pockets of space to shoot, and is so clever running off screens to shake his defender. Brady hit a number of key shots as his team closed the gap and eventually took the lead to come away with the win on Sunday.     Similar to Brady McPeek, Cal is a quick guard who's constantly moving off the ball, and has such a quick release to get his shot off before defenders can close him down. [program_tooltip program_id='2075310' first='Northstar' last='Titans'] was matching up with teams loaded with D1 prospects throughout the weekend, but Cal still found ways to get into space and put points on the board. It doesn't take long for teams to figure out he's a shooter, and Cal did a nice job of adjusting by getting defenders in the air with a shot-fake, and then penetrating to create openings for his teammates.     The 6'9 San Francisco commit was running with RWE over the weekend, and was the most dominant shot blocker at the event. Athletic 6'5+ wings would be attacking the rim with a full head of speed, and Jaroslavs would send their shot attempt flying off the court. He may not have standout athleticism like some other big time shot blockers, but his timing and positioning was so impressive. He was in the right place at the right time, and was able to block shots in bulk while staying out of foul trouble.     Markus is a 6'5 forward who's not afraid to do the dirty work for his team inside. Against [program_tooltip program_id='2851561' first='Forward' last='Thinking Basketball'], Markus was tasked with defending a 6'10 center who's one of the biggest/strongest players in Minnesota. Markus was battling all game long for low-post position and to prevent entry passes. He also did a great job of putting a body on his man to box out and clean up the glass. Offensively he's at his best stepping in from the dunker spot, running the floor for transition buckets, or putting back his teammates' misses.     [player_tooltip player_id='1900422' first='Donovan' last='Calloway'] was one of the breakout players in the Milwaukee area from this past winter, and he continues to impress this spring with [program_tooltip program_id='2075258' first='ABC' last='Young Lions']. He's very clever changing his speed on the ball, and is ability to finish with either hand makes him so unpredictable when he attacks the basket. He can go straight into a defender to finish through some contact, or use a euro-step to create a bit of separation and finish high off the glass. Showed confidence in his jumper knocking down a three early in the game and forcing defenders to guard him tight out beyond the arc.     [player_tooltip player_id='2194435' first='Max' last='Jones'] was providing fire power offensively for Jumpman Elite. He's one of the best long range shooters in the state's 2027 class, and showed that confidence out beyond the arc against RWE. Going up against a team filled with future D1 players, Max was hitting some tough shots over college level length. He just has an endless level of confidence, and once he sees one or two shots fall, he can start scoring in bulk. Should be in for a big senior season after West Allis Central graduates some key players.
