MBCA Small College Showcase: Team No. 3 Evals

<p>Prep Hoops Missouri takes a look at the members of Team No. 3 from last weekend’s Missouri Basketball Coaches Association Small College Showcase, which was held in Columbia.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/07/E16F091E-47D2-4259-9BC1-90FE7FC76293.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1500123" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/07/E16F091E-47D2-4259-9BC1-90FE7FC76293-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><br /> [player_tooltip player_id="1288559" first="Colby" last="Noblitt"] (Oakville): The 6’0" 2024 point guard showcased his impressive perimeter stroke from 3-point range, but I was also impressed with his nifty ball handling and playmaking skills. He was penetrating and kicking out to open shooters and dropping dimes in the open court. He also had a very nice mid-range jumper off the glass. He can really shoot it from distance, but he is much more than a marksman.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><br /> <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/07/78DD9EA4-4B7E-4333-91FF-110C77AA1E37.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1500130" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/07/78DD9EA4-4B7E-4333-91FF-110C77AA1E37-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1161289" first="Isaac" last="Danielson"] (Kirksville): The 6’2" 2023 point guard is a smooth floor general with a nice 3-point shot and a good overall feel for the game. He did a lot of facilitating in the game that I watched and his court vision was very impressive. He was threading the needle and making nifty passes with both hands. He is an excellent shooter off the catch and he can also get his shot off the dribble.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/07/2686CCE5-1B36-434E-8DA3-428B99231A34.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1500132" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/07/2686CCE5-1B36-434E-8DA3-428B99231A34-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><br /> Landon Mabe (Steelville): A 6’2" 2023 guard who looked impressive in my first time seeing him play in person. He’s a small-school talent that does a lot of things well. He could sneak in the lane to get buckets and he can hit the 3-pointer off the dribble. He also had a quick set of hands on defensive, which he used to get a lot of strips to force turnovers.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><br /> <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/07/3AC3C603-34EA-45B1-B51B-F84C7F0BD0AF.jpeg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1500133" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2022/07/3AC3C603-34EA-45B1-B51B-F84C7F0BD0AF-300x225.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1070099" first="Ethan" last="Wiley"] (Battle): The beefy 6’5" 2023 post player had an impressive camp with his work around the basket as a scorer and a rebounder. His ability to rebound and muscle inside for position is the best part of his game. On this day, I saw some other elements of his game that looked very good. He made some very nice dribble-drive moves from the high post to get buckets. He also stepped out to knocked down a couple of 3-pointers off the catch.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/04/Cole-Heller-2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1171210" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/04/Cole-Heller-2-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a></p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1269951" first="Cole" last="Heller"] (Jefferson City): The 6’5" 2023 forward is a solid offensive player who can score in the post with his footwork and fundamentals inside. He’s a good screener and he can score well on the roll down after making a good catch. He’s a strong kid who’s not afraid to muscle people around inside to establish his position.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>BJ Hill (Warrensburg): A 5’10" 2023 point guard who is a pass-first player who did a very good job distributing the basketball. He handled the ball well and he doesn’t make a lot of mistakes. He can penetrate and hit the short jumper in the lane and he can hit the open 3-pointer when it is presented to him.</p>
