<p>There were quite a few excellent passers at the #GritSZNKickoff in Louisville!  Here we look a few of the best in <strong>#GritSZNKickoff: Top Passers</strong>!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1157355" first="Jaeden" last="Rush"] (Rush Academy 15U)</strong></p> <p>Rush is a lead guard from the St. Louis metro east in O’Fallon.  He has an excellent feel for the game in both transition and the half court.  Projects as a plus passer moving forward.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="966152" first="Hayes" last="Sampson"] (Auburn Raptors 17U)</strong></p> <p>Loved the flair that Sampson passed with.  The Auburn Raptors squad has a ton of quality offensive weapons on their team and Sampson does a nice job of setting them up.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1049074" first="Byron" last="Carlo"] (Champaign Heat 17U)</strong></p> <p>Carlo is a smaller lead guard that pushes the pace and finds his teammates.  Did that all weekend long while showing a high level of leadership!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="996072" first="Jalen" last="Brown"] (RISE 16U)</strong></p> <p>Brown was outstanding passing the rock!  The strong lead guard is a sound decision maker in both the half court directing his teammates along with getting his guys the rock in position to succeed in transition.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="801588" first="Justin" last="Becker"] (Griffin Elite 17U)</strong></p> <p>Becker led the way for a Griffin Elite team that was by far and away the best passing team at the event.  They ran a lot of their offense through his power forward spot with his ability to pick defenses apart.</p>
