He is a three-level scoring threat who plays well at his own pace. He was getting two feet in the lane and hitting the pull up jumper. He was also backing down smaller guards in lane to score in the post. He was also hitting the 3-pointer and attacking the close out with the shot fake and rip through.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3644407,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/05/IMG_1134.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/05/IMG_1134.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-3644407" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Steven Brooks (Triple Threat Academy): A 6'2" guard from Fort Zumwalt West who is a high energy player who got a lot of things done with his motor. He stayed in attack mode from the opening tip off to the final buzzer. He was also a good cutter off the ball with his movement. He rebounded the ball very well at both ends of the court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3644409,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/05/IMG_1326.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/05/IMG_1326.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-3644409" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='3638338' first='Evan' last='Longmeyer'] (STL Impact): A 6'2" guard from Pattonville who is a excellent under-the-radar scoring threat in the St. Louis area. He has a good combination of strength and quickness and the skill level to get to his spots on the floor and get a bucket. He is a capable scorer at all three levels as he can stop and pop in the mid-range and also hit the open 3-pointer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3644411,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/05/IMG_1333.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/05/IMG_1333.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-3644411" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2334951' first='Xavier' last='Clark'] (Ramey Select): A 6'1" guard from St. Mary's who has one of the best motors that you will see in a high school player anywhere. Whenever he steps on the court, things are going to happen and mostly in a positive way. He is attacking the basket at all times, whether he is in the open court or in a half court set. He is a tenacious defender who gets after loose balls and rebounds with the same intensity.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3644413,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/05/IMG_1176_d05e6c.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/05/IMG_1176_d05e6c.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-3644413" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mikey Bellamy ([program_tooltip program_id='2210626' first='Mavericks' last='Basketball Center']): A 6'2" shooting guard with is long and rangy with good athleticism.
