Weber is a guy that does a little bit of everything for his miner’s team. Every time he or his teammate makes a play he is going crazy filled with joy just the same. At one point and time, his team was down by as many as five points and he take it upon himself to do more offensively to get them back in the game. What impressed me the most is he wasn’t just scoring to impact the game. He set screens to intentionally get his teammates open, he crashed the offensive glass to give his team second chances and he went to the whole aggressively to get his teammates open looks at the basket.

Mortensen is a guy that is tall and lanky. At first glance, he doesn’t look like is going to do very much but once he gets on the court he wow you with his ability to get in tiny spaces due to his frame. Throughout my time watching him play, he would go to the whole and it would look as if he was going to get stuck and he would end up finding a way to slither through the defense to finish at the rim. Another thing that impressed me about him is his ability to advance the ball up the court to his teammates. It will be interesting to see what position he ends up playing in the future that will make him the most successful.

Howry is a lights-out shooter that doesn’t mind taking and making big shots. Every time his team needed a big bucket he was willing to step up and be the one to deliver for them. He doesn’t care if he is wide open or if it’s a hand in his face, he will take it regardless. In one game that I had a chance to watch him, he hit a game-winner with a defender all over him and ended up making the basket that gave his team a one-point victory. He is a guy that doesn’t back down from competition and always is up for a challenge when somebody tries to make it a one-on-one competition.
Billy Reddick
Billy Reddick
Reddick is strong with the basketball when going to the whole. He is very explosive with the basketball and knows how to get to his spots on the floor. Throughout the day he wasn’t a naturally aggressive guy but when he had to be he was able to take on the challenge and make plays for his team. Towards the end of one game, he wen to the basket, and I thought for sure he was going to get blocked by a much larger defender but he was able to use his body and maneuver the basketball to finish it at the rim. When going to the cup he understands angles and does a great job of not wasting his dribble at all.
Johnathan Frost
Johnathan Frost
Frost is somebody I like to call the defensive specialist. From the start of the game to the last one I have seen him play today he was consistent at putting pressure on the basketball. Regardless of what the rest of his teammates was doing he always picked up full court and tried to turn his defender. Throughout the games, I was able to watch he was able to pick a player’s pocket it least once a game and go down to get a lay-up. He can finish with both hands on the offensive end which give him the advantage defensively in trying to get either on-ball or off-ball steals.
Trevion Ogburn
Trevion Ogburn
Ogburn is a guy that isn’t going to just wow you with what he does on the floor. He is a more silent guy but his presence on the court makes a difference. When things got chaotic during the game he was the one that commanded the basketball and helped his team settle down. Throughout the time I watched him play it seemed like he always made the right play at the right time to keep his team in the lead. Guys like Ogburn are what I call glue guys and every team at the next level needs a Trevion on their team.
