Nevada Live - Day 3 Standouts

Sunday wrapped up the first ever Nevada Live Invitational in Las Vegas. The weekend ended with each team playing its fourth and in some cases fifth and final game.   With the end of the event, the official June live scholastic period has closed. Players will now transition back to their club teams for July basketball.   Below is a list of players that stood out during the limited batch of games on Sunday.   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2825980' first='Brexton' last='Quinet'] - Deer Valley</h2>   The Quinet takeover has begun at Deer Valley. After a stellar first two days running the show for the new look Skyhawks, the sophomore picked up his first division one offer from Cal State Northridge. He wrapped up his fantastic weekend showcasing his ability to score in different ways as one of the most lethal offensive threats in the AIA. Whether its on the perimeter or finishing inside, Quinet gets the ball into the basket. But just as impressive is his ability to swing the ball and set his teammates up with open looks.   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2640544' first='King' last='Kalikilwa'] - West Point</h2>   One of the returning players for West Point also has a chance to fully breakout this upcoming season. As a stellar two-way guard, Kalikilwa plays super unselfish as a member of the Dragons lineup. He always makes the right pass to set his teammates up and his long length makes him a pest on the defensive end.   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='3574752' first='Kadar'e' last='Williams']- West Point </h2>   Not many incoming freshmen on the west coast impressed me this June quite like Williams did for West Point. The guard showcased a smooth game that is advanced for his class. With the ball in his hands, he attacked the rim showing off a stellar floater game and was able to finish tough layups through and around contact. He knocked down multiple three pointers off the dribble to show his balance on the offensive end.   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1464983' first='Mick' last='Riordan'] - St. Mary's</h2>   The offseason has been a true scene of transition for the St. Mary's program and Riordan. Replacing a five star big while coming off a state championship game loss was always going to be tough. Add in your head coach resigning and it gets even more tough. But Riordan pushed that to the side during the weekend and showed off why he's arguably the best shooter in the state and one of the best scorers in all of the state. His talented as the lead ball handler and scoring in different ways played a huge role in the Knights improving from an 0-4 showing in Section 7.   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2689934' first='Braden' last='Baldwin'] - Arcadia</h2>   No player in the state has seen their profile jump quite like Baldwin over the past few weeks for Arcadia. From a JV player a few months ago to a rising senior with college attention, it's a sign of his hard work paying off. During the weekend and once again on Sunday, Baldwin stepped up in a big way for Arcadia on the offensive end. He got to the rim in flurries and crashed the rim hard for rebounds, his effort paid off for an Arcadia team that played the best this weekend they had all month.
