Myles Thomsen Myles Thomsen 6'2" | SG Spring Lake Park | 2024 State MN | 6’1 G | NorthStar Titans 2024 Brodeur
Thomsen is a slashing, playmaking point guard who is a flat out player. Downhill vision was spectacular and had plenty of drive and kick outs or dump offs. He finished well on both sides of the rim with either hand.
Lebron Kittrell | 6’1 G | Capitol City Teamwork 2024
Takes his game after the name. Silky smooth basketball player. Had a real clean Rondo fake behind the back on a fast break that had the whole gym jumping. Shifty ball handler and slithery finisher. Slices his way right through defenses to the basket.
Jaylene Simmons | 6’5 F | Capital City Teamwork 2024
Another notable player from this Capital City Teamwork team is Simmons. He’s a very dominant big man. He’s got great footwork and his spin move and drop step were unmatched today. Has a big frame and is a rebounding machine. Was able to connect on several hail mary passes to start the break. Also had a block that may have been sent 20 feet in the air.
Myles Townsend | 6’2 G | Chicago Demons 2024-2
Townsend was a very vocal leader for his Demons team. Whether he was on or off the court he was helping out teammates and communicating. He’s got a real strong frame that helped him with his rebounding and two foot finishes under the rim. Handled it well under pressure and when he ran the one guard.
Treyvon Ali | 6’2 G | DTM Elite 2024
Ali was a huge rim running threat, and he was very successful at it. The 6’2 guard is explosive and when he gets it pace he takeoffs like he’s gonna dunk it. Treyvon can elevate. Finished well through contact and was playing above the defense.
Joe Hager | 6’4 G | Wear Out The Net 2024 Mitchell
Hager is another acceptable rim runner. His ability to weave through defenders and finish on the other side of the rim is phenomenal. He’s got great touch and finesse at the cup and executes the finger roll at a high rate.
