Riverside-Brookfield: Teddy’s Top Impact Players

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's some of my top impact-players from this past weekend at riverside-brookfield. I'll also share some additional evaluations in the next day or two.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1435692' first='Rykan' last='Woo']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Woo put on a show Saturday morning against Deerfield. Burying multiple long-range shots in the early stages as well as creating how own bucket off the dribble. Made an impact on defense with three steals in the first half, all leading to easy transition buckets. 16 points in the opening frame of that game along with three 3-pointers. Continued to crest plays on both ends in the second half which included a charge. Ending the matchup with 23 points and four 3-pointers.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1552408' first='TJ' last='Williams']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Williams made an impact right out the gate for Bolingbrook since transferring from Glenbard west. Knocked down a contested corner shot on the opening possession. Showed he can fly down the lane as the game progressed with two crafty euro-step buckets. Even had a fast-break dunk and a put-back finish to keep Bolingbrook in this game.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1552480' first='Trey' last='Williams']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Athletic point guard in 2026. Williams had quite the showing vs Bolingbrook early Saturday. Not only did he show an ability to hit tough buckets at a consistent rate, but his proved to be a highly effective playmaker. The kind of guy who made everyone around him better in one way or another. Outstanding physical tools at 6'3”. Snagged a key rebound late and made a pair of free throws</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1845360' first='Rashaun' last='Porter']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Porter's game has taken a step up. Athleticism continues to improve as well as his ability to make plays as a passer. Had three instances vs Deerfield where he ran the open floor and finished dunks with authority. Also added an impressive turnaround jumper on the baseline which was heavily contested.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2105396' first='Cameron' last='Mercer']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>6'2” guard from Riverside Brookfield is a true game changer. Creates shots in so many ways and is a super effective passer that made everyone around him better. Love the effort on display vs St Ignatius on Saturday. Finished several tough buckets through contact and created many more off the dribble. Ability to move off-the-ball cannot go unnoticed. Lengthy, unselfish guard with a wide range of skills.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2839873' first='Dominic' last='Mordini']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Lake Forest Point Guard changes the game with his playmaking and three-level scoring abilities. I love the speed he displays going up the floor. Forcing Lyons to play catch-up for many parts of the game I watched. Effective mid-range shooter which helped give the Scouts the lead for much of the 2nd half. Even made plays as a post-player. Something you don't often see with a guy like Mordini.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1552460' first='Bryce' last='Wegrzyn']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>His stock has continued to rise in the 2026 class. Now a top 10 player in Illinois, Wegryzyn showcased all the tools you'd want in an impact forward. His physicality down low make it a real challenge to beat him in the rebounding category. But his tools as a three-level scorer really catch my attention. Wegrzyn got hot from deep and never seemed to lose any confidence.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2617446' first='Rico' last='D'Alessandro']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rico has that IT factor. The 6'5” combo takes so much energy out of defenses going up against him. Outstanding footwork and body control to convert severeal challenging shots inside vs someone. The athleticism, ball-handling, shooting, and defense, is all there, too. It's hard to say he's a power forward now because of this. D'Alessadro knocked down some tough shots and excelled at attacking the rim with or without the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
