Future Stars Classic 14U Big Guys to Watch

[player_tooltip player_id='2821845' first='Malik' last='Martin'] - The six-foot-seven-inch 2029 Mpls Hustlers and Minneapolis Camden Martin is one of Minnesota's best 2029 players and prospects. His combination of size, speeds, dexterity, and quickness make him almost impossible to guard one-on-one. In Martin's first game versus [program_tooltip program_id='2123709' first='MN' last='Rush'] he got himself into foul trouble picking up a couple ticky-tack fouls being a bit too overzealous and overly physical. The 2nd game Martin was much smoother, and absolutely dominated. A steal breakaway and dunk in the first half showcased all the physical advantages he has over the competition.   [player_tooltip player_id='2442367' first='Cohen' last='Soukup'] - The six-foot-five-inch 2029 center for Team Warwick Soukup showed various ways to score inside and outside versus a bigger, longer Team Manitoba team. Soukup stretched the floor to knock down a 3-pointer and showed off fancy footwork and finishing ability a post-up score in the 2nd half in their 14U Championship win.   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lrg2oppkdso </div></figure>   Liam Noll - Noll will be categorized as a big man/forward now because of his six-foot-seven-inch height and long reach. In a few years with development Noll could be a versatile wing that can play on the perimeter and be a threat at the rim. Noll blocked 3 shots, deferred multiple other shots in a game I watched Saturday. Noll is much more ahead as a defender because of his height/length advantage.   [player_tooltip player_id='2839192' first='Landon' last='Voight'] - SSA Black - The six-foot-three-inch Voight is a solid size 14U 2029 big man with good strength. Voight does the big man dirty work, rebound, play defense, screen, and work around the basket. He seems light on feet, and passes the ball.    [player_tooltip player_id='2856978' first='Nolan' last='Johnson'] - SSA Fargo East - The 2029 14U Johnson is six-foot-four-inch and is a solid bodied big man. Plays around the basket, uses size well.    Sam Ingraffia - Ingraffia is a six-foot-two-inch forward from Rogers that plays with [program_tooltip program_id='2075310' first='Northstar' last='Titans']. Ingraffia has soft hands and finishes solid around the rim. Stylistically plays like a power forward, defends, rebounds and is strong.    Ay Olugbenga - Team Manitoba - Olugbenga is a raw athlete six-foot-four-inch forward. In the first game of the day versus a smaller Grand Forks Heat team Olugbenga scored often at the rim inside over their players. Olugbenga is still developing, and looks like he has good movements around the court.    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqyWuSm39LM&t=5s&ab_channel=StreetHistoryVideos </div></figure>   Jack O'Sullivan - PSB Denver - O'Sullivan is a six-foot-three-inch pick and pop forward that hit six 3-pointers in one game. His movements in the pick-pop were seamless and smooth. The jump shot was quick and accurate. O'Sullivan development will need to be foot speed and agility.    Kaleb Anderson - Anderson is 2029 six-foot-three-inch forward for the Michiana Ball Hawks. Anderson in a game versus [program_tooltip program_id='2123709' first='MN' last='Rush'] took over and push them ahead for a huge win to finish off the Future Stars Classic. Anderson showed good quickness, speed and finished at the basket a few times.    Nathaniel Gassman - Breakers Basketball - The six-foot-two-inch Breakers forward Gassman was extremely active on the boards in game for Breakers. Gassman outworked opposing big guys inside with his quickness and ability to gather loose balls.

Malik Martin Malik Martin 6'7" | SF Minneapolis Henry | 2029 State MN - The six-foot-seven-inch 2029 Mpls Hustlers and Minneapolis Camden Martin is one of Minnesota's best 2029 players and prospects. His combination of size, speeds, dexterity, and quickness make him almost impossible to guard one-on-one. In Martin's first game versus MN Rush he got himself into foul trouble picking up a couple ticky-tack fouls being a bit too overzealous and overly physical. The 2nd game Martin was much smoother, and absolutely dominated. A steal breakaway and dunk in the first half showcased all the physical advantages he has over the competition.
