He has creative handles, when enable him to get anywhere on the court he needed to go. He could score around the rim and different angles and his mid-range game was also just as effective. He has good positional size and quickness, which makes him difficult to match up with.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3638892,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/05/IMG_1399.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/05/IMG_1399.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-3638892" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Drake Donaldson (Gateway Knights-Brueg): A 6'1" point guard who has a lot of talent and who plays with a lot of confidence and swag in his game. He has smooth handles and playmaking ability. He was getting his teammates involved with some nifty passing. He is also a very accurate 3-point shooter with his high-arching shot from long range. He will be attending DeSmet.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3638899,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/05/IMG_1423.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/05/IMG_1423.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-3638899" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Braydon Brooks (Triple Threat Academy): A 5'11" point guard who was a problem at both ends of the court during the game I watched him. He has an impressive offensive bag with the ability to score at all three levels and create off the dribble. He is quick and strong and he can change speeds and directions very well to keep defenders off balance while breaking them down. He is also very good on defense as he sits down and moves his feet well while also using his quick hands to hawk the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3638907,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/05/IMG_1391.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/05/IMG_1391.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-3638907" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Burke Schultz (Gateway Knights Bertucci): A 5'10" point guard from Ladue who is physically strong and who knows how to control pace and tempo. He has good court vision and he was very effective when he was getting into the lane and getting two feet in the paint. His float game was nice and he could score with both hands around the basket. He was also hitting Corner 3-pointers off the catch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3638911,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/05/IMG_1413.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/05/IMG_1413.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-3638911" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Madden Watson (Triple Threat Academy): A 5'8" southpaw point guard who has an excellent feel for the game. He has good quickness and he penetrates well and finds teammates when he draws defenders. He also shoots it well from 3-point range. He also rebounds well for his size while playing with an active motor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3638913,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/05/IMG_1406.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/05/IMG_1406.jpeg?w=938" alt="" class="wp-image-3638913" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dominic Bertucci (Gateway Knights-Brueg): A 5'5" point guard who comes into the game and runs the show well with his ball handling and ability to keep things organized. He is solid passer and he could also hit the open 3-pointer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3638932,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/05/IMG_1388.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/05/IMG_1388.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-3638932" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Reid Copeland (Gateway Knights-Otto): A 5'11" guard who was one of the top young perimeter shooters who we watched during the weekend. He hit six 3-pointers to lead his team to a victory in the semifinals of bracket play. He is also a slick ball handler who is a good playmaker and passer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
