Continue ReadingDay 1 in the Great Western Classic was full of great play from many teams and players from gym to gym. Teams like Centennial, NV had some flashes against a good Balboa Prep squad. American Fork vs. Davis was a slugfest as well. Corner Canyon had a great showing. This is just referencing the older varsity teams. There has been some solid players at the lower levels as well.
Dylan Jones Dylan Jones 6'6" | SG Westlake | 2022 State UT || Westlake High School || 2022 ||
Dylan Jones Dylan Jones 6'6" | SG Westlake | 2022 State UT is a different player as he is now suiting for for the Westlake Thunder. While Westlake has this culture of toughness and defense Dylan is starting to adapt to his new role. Dylan has a quick shot and he is getting them off even though he was being defended tightly. Dylan hit some big buckets and he defended and rebounded consistently. Like what we saw from this talented SG. Dylan has some stones in the shots he takes and boy does he spread the defense as he has to be defended out deep at all times.
Diego Mulford Diego Mulford 5'10" | PG American Fork | 2024 State UT || Cyprus High School || 2024 ||
One of the most impressive players from last nights games that moves without the basketball. Diego moves with a purpose and he is quick. This year he is going to be more of a problem because he is laterally quick off the bounce and he is creating more separation which is allowing him to hit those mid-range shots that you can tell he has been working on. Although he was quick last season, Diego is quicker and stronger this season. His shot making ability is still amazing but he is shooting them over defenders now. This kid is out hunting for shots so beware defenders.
Colby Simms Colby Simms 5'11" | PG Davis | 2022 State UT || Davis High School || 2022 ||
Colby Simms Colby Simms 5'11" | PG Davis | 2022 State UT is often times forgotten when it comes to some of the talent that is over at Davis high school. He is a quality PG that can control tempo and shoot the ball. While he is often forgotten, he takes advantage of it by hitting big shots and carving up the defense. If a team is looking for a PG at the next level he is worth the look.
Brody Kozlowski Brody Kozlowski 6'8" | SF Corner Canyon | 2024 State #103 Nation UT || Corner Canyon High School || 2024 ||
Brody was on a different level last night as he was on for Corner Canyon as they were able to stick with one of the nest teams in the country. His shooting ability is elite and as he adds more dimensions to his game he is going to be even more sought out for as he holds a fe Division 1 offers.
