<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are seven 16U prospects that shined at Prep Hoops The Tune Up: Minnesota in Shakopee! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2560499"],"_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-6a4d99635d7a5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">KJ has to be one of the most consistent performers in Minnesota right now, as he is so solid and is such a great decision maker. He led [program_tooltip program_id='2075431' first='D1' last='Minnesota'] to a double-digit win over [program_tooltip program_id='2859102' first='Hoop' last='Habits Elite'] in a primetime matchup, looking like the best player on the floor. He was creating scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates, getting into the lane with ease. He was scoring with touch around the basket and drilling deep three-point looks. Wilson recently picked up an offer from Wisconsin and keeps proving why many think he is the top player in this 2028 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2435232"],"_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-6a4d99635d860"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jumair has been one of my favorite players to watch this spring and summer, as he is such an elite offensive engine. He proved how good of a true point guard he can be, facilitating for his team very well. His speed and shiftiness open up the floor so much, as the defense is forced to help off of others. Wright is a dynamic scorer as well, slashing to the basket and hitting on tough shots from the perimeter off the dribble.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2388674"],"_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-6a4d99635da0c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jonas has had a great spring and summer with [program_tooltip program_id='2075431' first='D1' last='Minnesota'] 3SSB, as he looks ready for a breakout junior season at DeLaSalle. He's begun to play much more physically inside, using his size and length to finish over defenders at the rim. He was great in transition, using his speed and athleticism to run the floor and make plays. McCreary is a versatile defender with his physical tools and I really like his long-term upside as a prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2382070"],"_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-6a4d99635dc8b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Despite the loss, Jack turned in a standout performance versus [program_tooltip program_id='2075431' first='D1' last='Minnesota'] 3SSB. He is a very hard working player and plays at his own pace. On drives to the basket, he remained under control, playing off of two feet, to finish around the rim with patience. He can also shoot it from beyond the arc, being a multi-level scorer. Mroczenski is a high effort defender as well, giving opposing guards trouble.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2553551"],"_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-6a4d99635d8f0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dylan was a pleasant surprise on Sunday, as I was able to catch him in the last game of the event. He was good size for a guard with his strong 6'4” frame. He had a lot of confidence as a creator, attacking defenders to get downhill. He made some impressive moves inside to get to all kinds of different finishes with either hand. He was also facilitating at a high level, dishing to teammates for open looks. Baker will be a player to watch at Holy Family this upcoming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3689664"],"_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-6a4d99635dafa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Zeke is arguably the most explosive athlete in the state right now, as he was putting on a show in Shakopee. He is a high flying dunker, making finishes above the rim look so easy. He was throwing down one-hand and two-hand slams off of lobs and was a great option for dump off passes on the block. The incoming junior wing continues to show more and more confidence on his shots from the perimeter as well. Gilbert will be so fun to watch at Hopkins, a team that will force a ton of turnovers which will lead to showtime opportunities in the open floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":3689666,"_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-6a4d99635dbca"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I really like Austin's game and he was tough to slow down when his shots started to fall from deep. He is a knockdown shooter from the perimeter, as he has a very quick jump shot and the range to extend a few feet beyond the three-point line. He is fast with the ball in his hands, being able to push the tempo of the game and create for his team.  Lee could add some guard depth to Wayzata's varsity squad this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
