University of Northern Colorado Team Camps: Dynamic Guards

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1509232' first='Madden' last='Smiley'] - Windsor - 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Standing right around 6'3, Smiley has proven dependable, an efficient playmaker for a competitive Windsor program. The incoming sophomore is notably strong attacking downhill, allowing him to bully opponents while further maximizing his passing vision off the bounce. Smiley shows prowess hitting perimeter shooters with one handed kick out passes, putting consistent placement with velocity into the shooter's pocket. He has the full package, already a knockdown shooter beyond the arc, whether stepping into the shot or off the catch. Given his natural capabilities as a rebounder, the guard is accustomed to hitting teammates with long outlet passes.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1195029' first='Sirdevin' last='Roberts'] - Eaglecrest - 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Roberts is a dependable complementary scorer, proving efficient on drives and spot-up jumpers. In one particular effort, Roberts knocked down four three pointers without missing through two quarters. While the notable efficiency with the shot, the senior is effective leveraging his shooting gravity for layups. Proving fairly strong, Roberts has no trouble scoring in the paint through or around contests. He utilizes his strength on the glass, lurking around for offensive rebounds and doing his part to box out opponents on the opposite end. The guard has continued to boost his stock throughout the spring and start to the summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1369795' first='Marcus' last='Hinh'] - Riverdale Ridge - 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hinh provided consistent value along the perimeter through his shooting efficiency and passing instincts. Through the weekend, Hinh was knockdown off the catch, contributing on jumpers through immediate contests. Another facet of his game is his willingness to send outlet passes, keeping his head up to set up teammates. He is dependable hitting cutters through tight windows, making the most of his bounce pass opportunities. Hinh has shown effectiveness at the point of attack, staying in front of the vast majority of backcourt opponents.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1555225' first='Caiden' last='Braketa'] - Ralston Valley - 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Braketa is set to be yet another marksman from beyond the arc, alongside notable upside as a shotmaker. The incoming sophomore is a lethal shooter off the catch, doing well flowing into shots from weak side actions and quickly setting his feet for attempts. Braketa showed shot creation in the mid-range, backing down smaller matchups while getting to his mid-range fadeaway. There are few guards in that 2026 class with Braketa's immediate combination of positional strength and shooting efficiency.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1420418' first='Jordan' last='Wenger'] - The Classical Academy - 2024</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wenger was on fire throughout the weekend, stringing together a 40+ point effort during the second day of camp. The 6'3 guard is a skilled shotmaker off the dribble, proving capable of rising up into pull-up jumpers. Complemented by his quick first step and dynamic handle, Wenger is a very tough cover for the majority of programs. On&nbsp; the defensive end, the incoming senior guard is strong enough to handle his own against opposing backcourt scoring threats. For context, this past season with 17-9 Classical Academy, Wenger posted 19.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 2.1 steals per game. Collegiate programs should have this guard on their radar, considering his capable athleticism and potent scoring upside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
