Dakotas Top 250: Scoring Clinic

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I was highly impressed with the offensive play at the Dakotas Top 250 Expo. There was scorers that got hot and kept going for long stretches. Three-point shooters that were dialing in and nailing multiple threes in games, and in short, but impactful scoring sessions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Let's look at who was scoring the rock and shooting the ball well. Who put on a scoring clinic?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1843051' first='Turner' last='Thompson'] was an absolute bucket in session I. The lefty was nailing shots and getting to the hoop to finish, all night long.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Andre Austin got to the hoop whenever he wanted. Created space off the drive and is a high percentage finisher by the hoop. Super smooth and explosive in the lane.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1466940' first='Colton' last='Smith'] had a game in session I that he was nearly unstoppable and heavily dominant. There was no one to matchup with him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1632619' first='Reggie' last='Rice'] showed a well-rounded offensive game, with length and size. Really impressed in a big way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1625208' first='Luke' last='Bruns'] showed-out and is making progress and making a name for himself as a valuable recruit in the South Dakota 2025 class. Had big scoring sprees. Saw him hit three threes in a row.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 6'8” kid from Ellendale, [player_tooltip player_id='2230304' first='Kade' last='Schimke'], came out of nowhere to show a versatile scoring arsenal.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1625205' first='Lane' last='Tvedt'] was a high volume scorer, but he also hit a lot of shots and threes. He can catch fire — and he did.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1819685' first='Jackson' last='Schauer'] used his quickness and shot-making to be one of the top scorers. Especially lethal from three.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1535886' first='Nick' last='Hanson'] scored with his size and length. Too much size for most teams and had a bunch of dunks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1327797' first='Carter' last='Evanson'] is a talented scorer and could put up massive numbers if he wasn't so unselfish. Had a lot of transition plays, as well as being one of the top three-point shooters.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Austin and [player_tooltip player_id='1943913' first='Caleb' last='Terveen'] both showed highly impressive offensive scoring skill sets. They had a handle and could hit their shots, and maneuver in the lane to finish. Stock is up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1656547' first='Jack' last='Erickson'] of Baltic had a few scoring outbursts, where he was attacking and trying to score and make shots. His vertical helps him a lot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1763076' first='Max' last='Engebretson'] was ultra-aggressive in trying to show his offensive capabilities and game. He delivered and was one of the most impressive scorers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2233791' first='Daniel' last='Jones'] scored and scored, and scored some more. He was a major stock-riser by his ability to get buckets and hit difficult shots.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
