Playmakers From The Passion Region Kick Off

<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">If the ball doesn’t move, a team can’t score. That’s where playmakers step in to make things happen. Below are some of the best creators the Passion Region Kick Off had to offer. </p> <p><strong><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/09/132-Damon-Folds.jpg"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1292928" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/09/132-Damon-Folds-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>[player_tooltip player_id="1295936" first="Damon" last="Folds"] Athletes Of Influence 16U</strong></p> <p>Folds is a drink stirrer. He subtly makes plays while having the handle to probe the lane. He’s always looking to get his teammates involved before taking his shot. On the break, he’s looking for the man running on the wing. In the halfcourt, he’s looking for cutters and open shooters. When off the ball, he’s a solid shooter from deep.</p> <p><strong>Lucean Milligan Heart and Hustle Elite 16U</strong></p> <p>The passing Milligan displayed in his first varsity season is translating to AAU. The 2024 prospect can take his man off the dribble, allowing him to collapse defenses. Quick hands on defense turn to fast breaks where he can finish himself or find his teammates. Like many others on this list, Milligan’s off ball shooting led to several several made threes. </p> <p><strong>Trey Mitchell  Heart and Hustle Elite 16U</strong></p> <p>Mitchell was the engine behind heart and hustle elite’s offense. He was a step ahead of every defender, Athletes of Influence placed in front of him. That athletic difference put Mitchell in the position to score at all levels and get teammates involved. His handle made him a premier playmaker in isolation.</p> <p><b><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/IMG_8232-rotated.jpg"><img class="alignright wp-image-1423228 size-thumbnail" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/04/IMG_8232-rotated-e1649302896544-150x150.jpg" alt="Isaiah West | The Traveling Hoopers" width="150" height="150" /></a>Isaiah West No Excuses Elite 2024</b></p> <p>West is an unselfish, bouncy combo guard. He passed up countless transition opportunities to let his teammates make highlight plays on the break. The 2024 product is a creative passer that thrives in a high paced game. West can fill it up from deep on and off the ball. </p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1164182" first="Kevin" last="Odom"] OTOD 16U</strong></p> <p>Odom is a lead guard that can make plays on both sides of the ball. He’s a tough defender that forces turnovers at the point of attack. He creates for others on offense, posting one of the best double-doubles of the tournament with 16 points 11 assists in his season opener. Wherever Odom is on the court, be ready for him to produce.</p>
