<p class="text-gray-700">The event MVP of the 16u level, Walker led his team to the weekend championship. One of Us had three battles in the quarters, semis and final but Walker led his team to the wins in each scenario. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>We've spoken a lot about Walker lately as he's had a fantastic summer of play, but his relentless approach giving consistent results has made Walker one of the players of the summer. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Logan made a lot of people look silly this past weekend. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>His defensive playmaking led to a number of turnovers forced using quickness and several reads that led to opposing mistakes. And his handles..... so many of the defenders in KC looked confused as they tried to figure out where Klein was going. Used the hesitation, the crossover, and numerous change of directions to frustrate the defense on his way to an 18 point per game weekend. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Pairing strong with Walker has been [player_tooltip player_id='2829765' first='Ja'Myias' last='Caldwell'] who was the playmaker for the event champions. Caldwell scored 12-13 points a game and had 4-5 assists contest to lead his team to an undefeated weekend. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Griffin helped Team All O.NE get to the semi-finals and when we talk about players that will stick with us after watching them play, Griffin is surely one. When he had the ball and got an attacking angle, DeVaughn pretty much forced defenders to either take a charge or get out of the way. Griffin was so quick to the lane, and so quick off his feet with lift that defenders had to have perfect timing or Griffin was finishing or getting to the line. And Griffin was dunking or at the foul line quite often. A first team performance. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Corbin has had one of the best summers of any 2028 player in the Upper Midwest in terms of the events that I have been tracking. He's combined a scorching touch off of a quick release with a quick attack game that defenders are having a terrible time defending. He's had a couple 30 point games this summer and has hit that 20+ mark several times including a 25 point performance in the title game. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Made his return to the court and did a great job pushing the basketball and helping his team get to the 16s title game in KC. A quick handle and a toughness to what he does, Knox had a really good weekend. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Butler is the 6'7 size of the 16u champs that won the bracket play event. Was very important to keeping opponents from scoring high percentage shots in the paint getting to his help spots plus he knocked down some perimeter jumpers, rolled to the rim to do damage, and cleared space for the guards to have a big event as well.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The ball handler, defensive pest, playmaker for Team O.NE </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Doremus has length and quickness that disrupts the opposition and helps getting the transition game going that he loves to lead. Plays with a great mix at lead guard taking his ten shots a game making about half for double digits, and then making sure the ball is constantly moving so his teammates can flourish. And flourish the team did making the final four. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">At 6'6 and 195 pounds playing at 16u for All Missouri Attack, Griffin is a really tough player to stop from scoring. Moore has a face-up game with the ability to shoot from the perimeter but he's also stronger than at least four guys on the other team on most nights so he can move off ball, catch, and score with comfort, he can attack and maintain balance to score over the top, and at times score with power. But the perimeter scoring is there too and it was last weekend as Attack made the Elite Eight.</p>
