Prep Hoops Next Aurora IL: Class of 2030 Top Post Players

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This showcase featured a lot of top level bigs for the class of 2030 and it was a joy to watch the paint be utilized as much as it did for the men in the middle. Let's take a closer look at each of these players who really took advantage of their size in a lot of facets of the game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2789305' first='Nathaniel' last='Merriweather']: Excellent demeanor and will power throughout the day. Crashed consistently on both ends. Will screen and roll and screen away from the ball. Had some nice takes to the cup. A team player that competitively fights for loose balls. Overall plays hard and was good to watch compete.<br><br>[player_tooltip player_id='2790762' first='Jemere' last='Towles']: Ran the court consistently rim to rim for a big. Defensively was able to keep smaller quicker guards in front of him and successfully made some tips and deflections. Is long and athletic and uses that to his advantage. Saves loose balls and plays with passion for the game.<br><br>Jaxon Kelbel: Able to make precision passes under pressure and handle the ball well. Crashed the glass on the offensive end for some offensive rebounds.<br><br>[player_tooltip player_id='2715999' first='Reuben' last='Clinton']: Played pretty hard nosed and tough throughout today. Went off the bounce quickly to the rim and used his foot speed to his advantage. Got his hands on some passes defensively and was effective at challenging the ball around the rim.<br><br>[player_tooltip player_id='2393299' first='Duain' last='Johnson']: The best post player I saw today and arguably one of the best all around players. Competed with an overall well rounded and balanced game. Runs the floor at a good rate and keeps a much fair pace with his guards. Rebounds the ball strong while keeping it high. Knowledgeable in the screen and roll game to go along with nice footwork and finishes. &nbsp;Joy to watch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
