Nash Kooken Nash Kooken 6'2" | PG Waukee Northwest | 2028 State IA plays like a veteran at this point. He really has a game beyond his years in terms of polish. He is an elite ball handler and a calm initiator of the offense. His processing speed is out of this world when it comes to reading defenses. Even at his young age, the game moves very slowly for Nash. He routinely dimes up his teammates with his ability to manipulate the defense and predict their next moves. He is especially great at making reads out of the pick and roll, which is where his court vision shines through the most, as he can make layered reads in seconds and find cutters before the defense has a chance to react. Even though I would say his most impressive skill is his playmaking, he is no slouch as a scorer either. He has a beautiful stroke from outside that he can get off in short spaces due to his quick release, and he is very good at running off screens and hitting threes. He is also a very good scorer around the rim. He has touch with both hands and is very good at stretching out and finishing tough layups. Another area that I would say Nash is advanced in is his ability to draw fouls at a high rate. He is very smart with his body, and he knows how to initiate contact and force calls.
