Wisconsin Sophomore ID Camp: Max’s Top Performers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Six of the 2029 prospects who stood out most in the games I watched yesterday at the Prep Hoops Wisconsin Sophomore ID Camp!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2795366"],"_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-6a9d617551c42"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I was really impressed with the progress Karti has made over the summer. He's no longer just a big body that can overpower opposing forwards around the rim. During the 3v3 portion he showcased his ability to blow by opposing forwards with a quick first step before exploding off the floor for some powerful dunks. He really surprised me with how quickly he could get off the floor at his size. Not only was he threatening to bring the rims down, but Karti was knocking down threes at an impressive clip. At 6'6 he was comfortable creating separation for his own shots or connecting off the catch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2402510"],"_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-6a9d68d9e9666"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2402510' first='Drew' last='Bowers'] showed why he's one of the best pure shooters in the state's 2029 class during his second game of the day Saturday. The Kaukauna guard took over in the second half to bring his team back into the game, hitting three after three. Defenders can't afford to leave him in space, but Drew did a nice job of staying active without the ball to find pockets to catch-and-shoot from the three point line. I liked how hard he worked sprinting back on defense after every make, and he made an impression with his vocal leadership on that end as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2450160"],"_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-6a9d68d9e96c7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lavonte just has a nose for the rim and is relentless trying to get there. Any time Lavonte caught the ball he was looking to attack and get into the lane. If a gap wasn't there he kept the ball moving, but when he was able to get through to the rim there was a high likelihood points were going on the board. Lavonte has the touch to convert on some difficult looks through contact, and has a quick second leap to gather his own miss and go right back up. Possession after possession we saw Lavonte get into the paint for high percentage looks right at the rim. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2452574"],"_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-6a9d68d9e9710"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A high potential prospect to keep an eye on in the state's 2029 class, Chase has an intriguing blend of length and skill out on the wing. He possesses a very long 6'5 frame, with the comfort to handle the ball under pressure against smaller defenders. He just seems to glide effortlessly on the ball, and is able to take whatever the defense gives him on any given possession. Chase rarely seems to force his game, and did a nice job of creating his own looks when available while also keeping all of his teammates involved.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2401344"],"_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-6a9d68d9e9758"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jackson could already be a star player on varsity for a lot of teams across the state, but is patiently building his role for a loaded Wisconsin Lutheran team. Now at 6'4 he was good positional size as a 1 or 2, and plays with a nice change of pace on the ball. I only got to see him during the 3v3 portion of camp, but he impressed with his isolation scoring ability. He could go to work out of the post or create shots out on the perimeter. Showed a nice turnaround jumper with a high release point that helps him score over the top of length.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2475616"],"_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-6a9d6ec092ed1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cooper showed why he's one of the best shooting guards in the state's 2029 class. Last year he emerged as a dangerous three point shooter for Franklin, but since then he's taken that next step forward physically. He's now listed at 6'5 and has added some burst around the basket. In the game I watched Cooper threw down a number of dunks, including rising up for a backdoor alley-oop off of a set play. Defensively he was able to guard just about every spot on the floor with his length and lateral mobility.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
