Week in Review: Top 2026s I Saw Last Week

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SF [player_tooltip player_id='1765550' first='Bilal' last='Yusuf'] (Sioux City East)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An athletic 6-3/6-4 wing who thrives with his ability to get to the rim both in transition and in the halfcourt, Yusuf had a solid night against CBAL in a big MRAC tilt last week, scoring 13 points on 5-12 shooting (2-8 3P, 1-3 FT) with 4 rebounds, an assist, and a steal. He settled for 3s a bit more often than we'd like to see given his handles, athleticism, and pace, but he made an impact on the game on both ends of the floor with his athleticism and talent.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>PG [player_tooltip player_id='1978104' first='Easton' last='Klement'] (Council Bluffs Lincoln)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Klement does a great job using his handles and change of pace to control the game on the offensive end. One of three different Lynx guards who frequently have the ball in their hands as playmakers, Klement has great vision and has the quick first step and start-and-stop abilities that make him difficult to stay in front of. He shoots it well off both the dribble and the catch and is an active on-ball defender. He finished with 11 points on 3-6 shooting (2-4 3P, 3-6 FT), 3 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 steals against Sioux City East.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SG [player_tooltip player_id='2413534' first='Judd' last='Jirovsky'] (Grundy Center)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An off-ball guard who moves really well without the ball in his hands, Jirovsky has the ability to fill it up from all three levels and do so in a hurry. He took over the game for a stretch in the second half against Gladbrook-Reinbeck, helping deliver a big win for Grundy. The 6-0 guard has also really improved as a playmaker off the dribble, showing good vision, tighter handles, and more confidence in his ability to create. He finished with 16 points on 5-9 shooting (1-3 3P, 5-6 FT), 5 rebounds, 2 assists, and a steal.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SF [player_tooltip player_id='2724147' first='Gilbert' last='Flagel'] (Pella Christian)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Eagles lost a ton of production off of last year's team and have needed someone to step up and become a leader on the offensive end. That someone may be Flagel, a 6-5 wing who can create plays off the dribble for himself and his teammates. He was able to get to the rim for finishes against Knoxville, finishing with 17 points on 7-12 shooting (1-3 3P, 2-2 FT), 5 rebounds, an assist, and 2 steals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SF [player_tooltip player_id='2886791' first='Jake' last='Babbitt'] (Council Bluffs Lincoln)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A 6-4 wing who did a great job on the glass, especially on the offensive end, against Sioux City East, Babbitt scored 13 points on 3-5 shooting (1-2 3P, 6-8 FT) with 7 rebounds (5 offensive), 2 steals, and 2 blocks. He has good size on the wing and utilizes his length to his advantage on the glass and on the defensive end. His activity on the glass was hard for the Black Raiders to contend with and was a big part of the reason the Lynx now control the MRAC.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>PF [player_tooltip player_id='2886831' first='Drew' last='Greve'] (Regina)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Greve put together a solid all-around game in the Regals' win over Beckman Catholic on Thursday night, scoring 8 points on 4-7 shooting with 7 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 steals. He's an active 6-3 big man with soft hands, good touch around the rim, and he flashed good vision out of the high-and-mid-post areas, finding open teammates for easy looks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
