<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Hoops Missouri takes a look at some of the Class of 2029 forwards and wings who caught our attention at the Midwest Showcase at Homefield Courts in Kansas City, KS</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2889728,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/06/IMG_3633_63a29a.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/06/IMG_3633_63a29a.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2889728" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2767899' first='Bronx' last='Ganaway'] (Boonville): The 6'7" forward will enter the season as one of the top 2029 prospects in the Midwest region. He displayed a smooth offensive game from the wing as well as the low post, where he used his height. His mid-range game was effective and he could shoot the 3-pointer. I was really impressed with his passing ability. He is a very unselfish player who set up his teammates very well. As he gets physically stronger, he will be even tougher to handler. He received an offer from the University of Missouri this week.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>*******<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2889732,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/06/IMG_3720_4e3aaa.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/06/IMG_3720_4e3aaa.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2889732" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2731305' first='Beckett' last='Bruns'] (Rock Bridge): The 6'7" power forward is already a physical force in the paint despite being the youngest player on the court most of the time. In addition to using his strength to get position, he has good feet and quick moves around the basket. He also has a nice shooting touch and he uses the backboard very effectively. He also rebounds the ball well and can throw a very accurate outlet pass to a teammate on the run.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>*******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2889759,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/06/IMG_3606.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/06/IMG_3606.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2889759" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2918971' first='Piotr' last='Rychiewski'] (SLUH): A 6'5" wing player who comes to the St. Louis area via his homeland of Poland. The youngster that they call "P" is a very skilled perimeter player with good handles and a nice shooting stroke from 3-point range. He hit a few shots from well beyond the 3-point line and he could get into the lane and raise up for the short jumper.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>*******<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2889760,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/06/IMG_3503.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/06/IMG_3503.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2889760" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2918969' first='Majok' last='Mayuen Kau'] (Principia): A 6'9" forward who just arrived in the States during the week. He got some limited minutes during the event, but a couple of things are already evident. He is long and he has impressive athleticism and he can also run the floor with ease. If he gets the ball in the vicinity of the rim, the chances are good that he is going to dunk it. I look forward to seeing more of this young, athletic big in action as time goes on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>********<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2889761,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/06/IMG_3409.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/06/IMG_3409.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2889761" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2898246' first='Kaivon' last='Alexander'] (Hillcrest): A 6'4" wing player who is a young talent from the SWMO area. He has a long, slender from and he has good athleticism. He also excels in the transition game. He also did a good job of knocking down 3-pointers off the catch. With his length and athletic ability, he can also develop into a quality defensive player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>*******</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2889765,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/06/IMG_3411.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/06/IMG_3411.jpeg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2889765" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Derrick Dailey (Hillcrest): A 6'1" wing player from the SWMO area who displayed some good athleticism along with some versatility on offense. He rebounded the ball well for his size and he used his quick jump to beat others to the ball. He has a solid build and he used it to attack the basket off the dribble. He also hit a open 3-pointer from the corner off the catch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
