Oregon Top 250 Expo – Team Three Scouting Reports

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Although it's already been a week and a half since the Oregon Top 250 Expo, our coverage of the event here on Prep Hoops is not done yet. For the rest of this week, we will take a look at each individual roster, breaking down this huge crop of talent from around the Pacific Northwest, player-by-player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's a look at Team Three:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1503810' first='Nate' last='Stiffler'] (2025 Thurston)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stiffler is an appealing prospect in the class of 2025 due to his ability to shoot the three and guard multiple positions at 6-foot-5. Also possessing the ability to run the floor for easy transition buckets, Stiffler was featured on our "Top Shooters" list.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1110573' first='Jackson' last='Owens'] (2024 Cleveland)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Owens is a do-it-all guy that flies around and plays hard on both ends. In his action at the expo, the junior displayed his strength and jumping ability as he earned a mention on both our "Top Athletes" and "Top Glue Guys" lists. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1587910' first='Atticus' last='Kelly'] (2024 West Linn)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kelly proved to be a standout spot-up shooter as he knocked down a few open looks and played intelligent within the game flow.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1598089' first='Max' last='Montgomery'] (2024 Churchill)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At 6-foot-1, Montgomery possesses a strong frame that allows him to make hard attacks toward the basket. Additionally, the junior has the ability to hit the three.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1352626' first='Cade' last='Jansen'] (2023 La Salle)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jansen was a high-effort true point guard at the expo, playing hard within a modest role.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1602192' first='Levi' last='Bennett'] (2026 Franklin)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Already featured on our "Top Freshman" list, Bennett plays with a non-stop motor that allows him to collect rebounds and loose balls at a high rate. Furthermore, Bennett was effective offensively for a freshman, knocking down a few jumpers at the event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1338256' first='Jaylen' last='Pankey'] (2023 McDaniel)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pankey is a very shifty guard with explosive quickness and an unselfish play style that showed up at the expo. At 5-foot-9, the senior finished well over bigger players inside, and his role in his team's playmaking earned him a spot on our "Top Passers" list.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1315380' first='Gary' last='Le'] (2023 Churchill)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Driving and dishing all day, Le was another of our "Top Passers," playing a true point guard role for Team Three. The senior plays incredibly steady, rarely making miscues and picking his spots well on offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1565735' first='Jackson' last='Leach'] (2024 West Salem)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Leach has very impressive straight line speed, quickness to the rim, and outside shooting. With a solid handle and the ability to score from all three levels, Leach holds a ton of offensive potential. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>John Marugg (2023 Liberty)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At 6-foot-6, Marugg was the tallest player on Team 3, which was made clearer by his activity on the boards. In transition, Marugg ran the floor well for a big, scoring buckets and making a couple nice passes on the break. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
