<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Made Hoops Summer Live was where I spent the first day of the first July live period and in this article I'll break down the 16 U standouts I saw.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2618066"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a4f9ade7e466"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Edwards was cooking this morning with a monster scoring output that saw him start fast and finish strong. Edwards scored early with a couple of transition layups followed by a corner 3-pointer and a mid-range shot off a BLOB set. In the second half, Edwards had multiple finishes off spin moves to create space and hit some deep 3-pointers. The ball seemed to find Edwards when he was open a lot as he had a bunch of set 3-pointers that he fired away confidently. When Edwards wants to pressure the ball he's able to use his hands to deter the ball handler without fouling, a skill he has to consistently show. One of the most talented offensive players from southeast Ohio, Edwards is set for a monster junior season at Logan.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3588531"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a4f9ade7e4c1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The big fella was a passing hub out of the high post as he had multiple assists off DHO actions and kickouts when the defense sent doubles at him. Having a big man who is willing to scan the floor and hit the open man creates easy looks for each of his teammates and Peters did a nice job finding them when they were open. Peters got going a bit at the end as a scorer, liking the baseline jumper. Hoping to see Peters develop a left hand at the rim to make it tougher for opponents to block him. One of the top small school players in central Ohio, Peters should be a dominant interior force for Grandview Heights.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3552090"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a4f9ade7e4f6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Moving from Florida to Ohio, Habing has fit in well at both the high school and grassroots level. A fluid wing, Habing was best in transition where he could use his long strides and extend at the rim. Habing's highlight of the game was an acrobatic finish off an extension step where he was able to get past a shot contest at the rim. Hoping to see Habing shoot it more consistently from the outside, he did knock down a key jumper late in the game to extend the lead for his team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3269124"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a4fc6a4bdf7d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A physical wing forward, Hess sealed the win for the Ohio Bruins 16 U squad by scoring his team's last six points of the game to finish a 50-49 victory. Hess loves contact and wants to bump you on drives to the rim. A crafty below the rim finisher, Hess was able to finish with either hand at the rim. I like the aggressiveness Hess plays with at both ends of the floor and should be a key piece for a Saint Edward squad that should remain near the top of northeast Ohio after winning the Division I regional last season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3690696"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a4fc6a4bdfd8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another class of 2028 Saint Edward prospect making a name for himself with the Ohio Bruins 16 U group, Gettis has an impressive frame with wide shoulders and an overall athletic build. Gettis altered some shots at the rim with his length and has additional defensive upside thanks to his athletic tools. A capable shooter from the outside, Gettis knocked down a couple key buckets on the perimeter and had two crucial layups down the stretch as well. A name to watch in northeast Ohio's 2028 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
