Nathan played like a true point guard and was definitely one of the best players whenever he was on the floor. He was a swiss army knife offensively, impacting the game in so many ways. He could attack the basket or knock down shots from beyond the arc, and I also saw him hit a tough turnaround fadeaway jumper in the mid-range. He was a good facilitator as well, finding teammates for some assists. I loved how Nathan communicated with his teammates, being very vocal.
Highlights
I had seen Noah play on the Prep Hoops Circuit a couple of times, where he impressed with Minnesota Comets this past spring and summer. He played out on the wing for most of the game I saw, making scoring look very easy. He is a knock down shooter and was connecting from deep off the catch all game. He also liked to produce transition opportunities, whether it was him passing or doing the finishing.

Great was a player who really impressed me with his performance on Sunday, as well as his potential as a prospect down the road. The sophomore wing has great size and used his strength to go to work inside. He had numerous tough finishes through traffic, out-muscling opponents when he got the ball in the paint. He also gave high effort on the defensive end, coming away with some steals.
I really like the potential that Spencer has as a prospect and he showed it off on Sunday. The 6’7” junior moves very well for his size and was fun to watch offensively. He had some nice finishes around the rim, being able to convert at full speed with either hand. Swenson also showed flashes of what he could do putting the ball on the floor to create for himself.

Jordan is coming off of a productive spring and summer season with Minnesota Chill and it looks like that will carry right over into his senior year. He is a threat to score from outside or inside, getting to the basket for finishes and knocking down looks from deep off the catch. I liked how aggressive Lyon was on his takes inside, never fearing contact from defenders.
Adin showed off his full scoring arsenal on Sunday. At 5’10”, he was usually one of the smaller players on the floor, but that did not stop him from making an impact. He needed to be accounted for from the outside, as I saw him connect with a pull-up three. He could also get downhill for finishes, using his touch to make a floater, or attacking larger defenders head on.
Ezra did most of his work from inside of the three-point on Sunday, doing a little bit of everything for his team. He liked to get to his spots in the mid-range, being able to stop on a dime and get a shot up quickly. Cunningham also has good touch around the basket, finishing off layups and floaters. He was also a game changer with his ability to rebound.
Highlights
Amari used his length and athleticism to be a difference maker on Sunday. He is an exceptional rebounder, being able to high point the ball through traffic. His wingspan was also a factor on the defensive end of the floor, getting his hands in passing lanes for deflections and steals. Nobles could also finish around the rim off of passes from teammates or on second chance opportunities following an offensive rebound.
Highlights
Calvin had major success scoring inside on Sunday, using his speed and quickness to find ways into the painted area. He was tough to stop when he was given transition opportunities, catching an outlet pass and taking it all the way for a layup. Peterson also impressed me as a facilitator, setting up his teammates with open looks.
Highlights
Alex was a capable scorer from inside or outside, allowing him to remain unpredictable with the ball in his hands. He could finish at the basket with either hand, converting on some contested looks in transition. I liked the hustle that he was giving as well, as I saw him clean up teammates’ misses for putback layups on a couple occasions.
