At the Expo Bean came out firing scoring 11 of the first 14 points for Team 10 and assisted on the other 3 points.

Rowe is a six-foot-five-inch wing from Chisago Lakes and played AAU with Minnesota Heat PBJ that past few years can put on a show above the rim. In this game Rowe had 3 dunks, and he just explodes off the floor as a two-footed jumper. He runs the open floor like a wide receiver running a fly route. Rowe showed other good traits on the floor, didn't over dribble, shared the ball, jump shot looked smooth on the 3-pointer he made, and scored inside on lay-ups to take easy buckets when he had them.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"edit"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://youtu.be/KLmx8i9s_f0","type":"video","providerNameSlug":"youtube","responsive":true,"className":"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://youtu.be/KLmx8i9s_f0 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_634588f22bd0b","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1269166"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='1269166' first='Matt' last='Drake'] is a 2024 six-foot-one-inch guard from Lakeville North high school.
