<p>The Prep Hoops live circuit is hitting up Kansas City and Lawrence this weekend, with a ton of the 17U/2023 action going down at the great Rock Chalk Park. A loaded pool of talented teams enters the arena once again, let’s preview some of the dynamic players in the 2023 Group.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="962223" first="Khalif" last="Bettis"], 6’5 Wing, MN Chill 2023: As versatile and dynamic a prospect coaches can see this weekend. Is a terror in transition getting to the rim, finding cutters when pushing the break, and converting and 1 opportunities at a high level. In the half court is a great ball screen handler as a scorer and creator, can get a great shot in the iso game, and is also very adept at comin off screens and entering attack mode. Can guard a wide variety of players on the defensive end and has a high motor.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1070680" first="Mardrecus" last="Moreland Jr"], 6’ Guard, Alabama Celtics 2023: His stop start, change of direction, control, and command with the ball is top tier and catches the eye right away. He is very hard to stay in front of, can get guys off balance, and Moreland is crafty finishing off his attacks with an array of finishes. Takes the challenge on defense as well and is willing to guard other teams best guys and does it well. His game off the bounce getting to his spots into a pull up jumper is silky smooth and he is hard to get an effective contest on.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Anquan Boldin Jr</strong>, 6'5 Guard, Ball4Lyfe 2023: The motor is off the charts for Boldin Jr and the athleticism is just as high. Puts on a show on the break, in semi-transition is effective at attack gaps and mismatches, and can get up and live at the rim. Has really solid footwork on the floor, will go get rebounds on both ends, and does not give up on many plays. Has a high ceiling and with his effort and athleticism is only going to get better.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Jack Riley</strong>, 6'7 Forward, Chapman Basketball Academy 2023 McGabe: A long and versatile forward/wing prospect who has had a great start to the spring. Really showing off his springy ability as a diver to the rim, cutter without the ball, and attacking in straight lines off the bounce. Has really solid court vision and makes the right read to shooters or teammates in great positions to score. His length and versatile play style make him a dynamic watch on the floor.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Britton Dutton</strong>, 6'1 Guard, SSA Elite 2023 Black (KS): As dynamic of a scorer during the high school season easily being in the top 5 of scoring the basketball across the classes. Is gifted in changing directions and speeds with the ball, has a skill set that allows him to have the ball in his hands or be a guy who comes off screens ready to fire away or attack. Is a top tier 3 ball shooter both off the catch and off the dribble. Is an ambidextrous player and is equally as good with both his left and right hand both has a finisher and ball handler. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Theron Coleman</strong>, 6'2 Guard, Colorado Titans Gold 2023: His finishing ability is some of the most dynamic in the skill sets of guards his size you will find this weekend. Great athletic ability and control of his body when finishing in the open court, semi-break, and half court games. Can operate in tight windows and find great chances to finish at a very efficient rate. He rip drives the ball quick and doesn't allow defenders to settle and also love how he plays off two feet.</p>
