In a game filled with scholarship level guards, Winkel played just as well as any on the court. The 6' PG is as tough as they come, with a high level skillset to match. He finished the game with 21, knocking in several from deep and adding in some tough takes to the rim. Winkel was able to seal the game in overtime at the free-throw line for Kingdom Hoops 17U EYCL.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1013231"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='1013231' first='Jaden' last='Jackson']'s shotmaking ability was on full display against Kingdom Hoops. The Bellevue West guard knocked in 5 3's, some of those coming well behind the three point line. Jackson was also able to find his way into the paint with his elite speed and quickness. In the OT loss to Kingdom Hoops, Jackson played like the top player in the 2024 class.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1136696"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_player_featured_image":2052382,"_player_evaluations_2_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='1136696' first='Aidan' last='McDowell'] stood out for [program_tooltip program_id='2135066' first='Nebraska' last='Supreme'] National 1 in a tough loss to AIA 16U. McDowell knocked in several from beyond the arc while he led his squad in scoring with 14. He is continuing his hot play from June with Crete, and is proving to be a high level prospect in the 2024 class.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1300947"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_player_featured_image":2052379,"_player_evaluations_3_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='1300947' first='Bryson' last='Bahl'] had the performance of the day at Iowa West Fieldhouse for ETG Midwest 16U. The guard started the game 5-5 from three, and ended up knocking in 7 when it was all said in done. Bahl's last three was the game sealing shot in overtime. He finished the game with a gritty 27 points, and added in multiple assists and offensive rebounds. Keep an eye on Bahl, as he has the potential to gain some serious attention these upcoming live periods.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1300982"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_player_featured_image":2052376,"_player_evaluations_4_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='1300982' first='Braden' last='Frager'] did it all in the overtime victory for ETG Midwest 16U. The 6'6 prospect knocked in shots from the outside, finished at the rim, created for others, rebounded, and passed really well. After earning several HM offers this spring, the secret is out about Frager. However, he lived up to his hype and showed the large crowd watching why he is a top player not only in the state, but nationally as well.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1587292"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"Bode Goodman had a tremendous game in a devastating loss for All Iowa Attack Elite 16U. The guard scored in all types of ways, including knocking down 4 threes to go along with his 27 points. Goodman carried his team back into the game with his shotmaking and playmaking ability. He was never fazed by the extended pressure from ETG, and led his team both vocally and by example.

Jirak and Goodman may be one of the top guard/forward duos in the tournament. At 6'8 Jirak stepped outside and knocked down 4 threes. He also displayed great touch around the rim, finishing with 21 points and double digit rebounds. Jirak plays with a high motor, and causes trouble for defenses because of his versatility.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":7,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64a0fb2d94dfa"} /-->
