9 Impact Wings at the D1 Showcase (Lake Washington)

We continue with our post-event coverage of the D1 Showcase from last weekend. The event featured over 50 teams from across six states, and held games at three different locations. Here, we continue to focus our eyes on the prospects playing at Lake Washington High School, identifying nine wings who had impactful weekends.    His ability to move, navigate paint traffic, and create off the bounce, paired with his strength and big frame, really posed some tough matchups for defenders over the weekend. He's just too strong and has too good of footwork to be slowed down when he finds an angle to attack. Also did a good job finding some key passes off his penetration. He scored a game-high 28 points to cap the weekend off in a win over Mead.     Looking like a big stock-riser for the upcoming season. The 6-foot-8 forward has already shown his potential as a stretch forward who can defend the rim, and is now demonstrating a more versatile scoring profile around the paint. He has the length and athleticism to be a big factor inside, but he's also starting to take more initiative to score around the paint with his footwork and touch.     Was a constant presence in the paint, working off of outside and high post catches to get middle and create. Drew a ton a fouls inside to get to the line for freebies, and was also a key creator for them getting open threes off his paint touches and kickouts. Caused defenses to collapse the middle all weekend. He led them in scoring against West Valley and Tualatin with 19 and 18 points.     Olvera is a big-bodied wing who was constantly getting around the paint to score. Has the ability to knock down shots on the perimeter, scored with some midrange pull-ups, and used that big frame to split defenders, get into gaps, and work to the paint.     David had a great showing at the event. He's a reliable creator and 3-point threat who led them with 20 and 22 points in two wins on Saturday, but also does a great job contributing in other areas. Was a really active rebounder, a good passer out of post-ups, and worked hard to block some shots, chase down loose balls, and overall was a hard worker on both ends.     The Skyridge wing played with a high motor throughout the weekend. Has a solid build, some decent length, and showcase his all-around impact. Good rebounder from the wings, can defend multiple positions, and displayed a pretty effective compact crossover to either get downhill or into a midrange pull-up. Played well off the ball, and executed some key passes out of different spots. He led them in three of four games, scoring 25 points against Seattle Prep, 24 against Mead, and 18 against Rock Canyon.     Looked like he took a big step forward offensively and was more assertive and confident with his touches. Worked to the rim a lot, where he's an excellent athlete and was finishing at a higher rate, but also was more effective knocking down shots away from the rim. Did some great work on the offensive glass too, and just looks like he's playing a little freer.     Matthews is another junior at Auburn Mountainview looking primed for a big season this winter. The lefty is a potent 3-point shooter who is incorporating more downhill attacks into his game while bulking up his frame and showing he can be a multi-level scorer. More strength and aggression in hunting his shots are having a big influence on his production. He led the Lions in scoring with 17 points versus Kentridge, 16 against Archbishop Murphy, and 16 against Oregon City.     He's really starting to take a lead role in their offensive attack with a more secure handle and better efficiency with his jumper. That improved ball control is helping him take advantage of his athleticism and length to split defenders and work through more traffic inside. He's a guy who lives above the rim and continues to be a step above the competition with his explosive finishing. Led Beach with 22 points in a win over Barlow.
