In the half court, he displayed the ability to bump defenders off their bearings when reaching the paint. Keep an eye on this two-way guard in the near future as he is ready to make some noise in the Woodland Conference.     Ramirez was electric for TNBA over the summer and brought the same energy to camp. The 5' 10 combo guard continuously applied pressure on defenders as a playmaker while also scoring when the situation called for him to be aggressive. His methodical approach as a ball handler allowed some fluidity throughout camp. His patience and timing was apparent and was a huge reason why Team 13 was so competitive.

Willis provided a balanced attack and showed versatility as an inside and outside threat offensively.     Holtz comes to camp following having played summer ball with [program_tooltip program_id='2078835' first='Wisconsin' last='Swing']. At camp he was dialed up and showcased his talent for Team 13. The 5' 11 combo guard has an aesthetically pleasing rotation on his jump shot. He found himself open off the ball due to his quickness and agility in transition. He has a solid handle and understanding of how to create on the ball as well. When ran off the line he proved to be certain about getting to his secondary spots to be a threat.

He covers a great deal of real estate on his drives, reaching his spots quickly with the ball in his hands. The [program_tooltip program_id='2391400' first='Team' last='Herro'] guard played with great comfort and ball security in high pressure scenarios.

I was impressed with his ability to fend off opponents with his strong base and low dribble. He proved to be crafty in the paint throughout camp, finishing with his outside and inside hand at the basket. He was proficient beyond the arc and in the mid range making him a threat on all three levels of the floor. Ortega is primed to make noise for Waukesha South in the coming season.     Marciulionis was a tough cover for opponents over the summer with [program_tooltip program_id='2075876' first='Team' last='1848'] and proved to be the same at camp. He took up a lot of space in the paint on the defensive end. Standing at 6' 6 and very light on his feet, he made an impact as a high level help defender. His length and mobility affected and altered shots in a major way for team 13. Offensively was a reliable option for points in the paint via his sturdy base and soft touch on his hook shot over either shoulder. Marculionis extended his offensive impact beyond the arc as well when opposing bigs failed to keep track of him. The DC Everest wing has a high ceiling and is one to keep an eye on in the coming season.
