Weston Olson

State: Minnesota
School: Mankato West
Club: Hoop Habits Elite

Weston is a player that is shooting up fast height wise, his profile was recently made and he's grown an inch plus since that happened! A guy to watch as a later blooming prospect because he is currently growing so fast and has tall parents.

Olson is a good shooter and smart defender, plays a very efficient game. Was a key part of Hoop Habits and should be a very good player for the Mankato West rotation this season.

Few 15u players were scoring the ball like Hogberg was in July. He was going 20+ on a regular basis and putting those points up in fast acting transition ways and bursting to the rim and fast finishing ahead of the help. One of a handful of Centennial young players that we think will really help the program take steps forward in the coming years.
