MN Sophomore ID Camp: Max’s Wing Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Seven of the top wings I saw at Hopkins on Saturday at the Prep Hoops Sophomore ID Camp!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2388674"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68b5c0b1cd810"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jonas may have been the best pure scorer I saw at the event on Saturday. At 6'6 he moves in a way that not many other players his size can, combining a rare combination of length, agility, and handle that allows him to either blow by guys off the dribble or get into his pull-up jumper. All day long he was lethal from mid-range, while also showing the touch to finish full speed at the rim with either hand. Part of a loaded 2028 class that will have DeLaSalle looking dangerous for the next three years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2385822"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68b5c0b1cd869"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I didn't get to see any of Brooks' 5v5 games, but he did more than enough during the 3v3 portion of camp to earn his way on this list. The 6'3 wing is a fluid athlete with the change of speed needed to blow by defenders off the dribble. With a spaced out floor during the 3v3 games, opposing wings simply weren't able to stick in front of Brooks as he got to the rim any time he wanted to. Sag off and he could simply pull-up and connect on a jumper with his high release point that is tough to contest. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2416035"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68b5c0b1cd8d1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ben impressed last year at the Freshman Showcase, and this year was a standout at the Sophomore ID Camp. He has the chance to develop into a dangerous shooter out on the wing for Maple Grove. Anytime a teammate penetrated the defense, Ben was moving out on the perimeter to create an angle for a kick-out pass, and when the ball came his way he didn't miss much. Ben has a smooth release on his shot, and does a nice job of quickly getting his hands and feet set to catch and shoot on the move. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2954669"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68b5c0b1cd918"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wyatt is a lefty wing who did a little of everything on the floor. He was battling on the glass, made smart reads in transition, and showed he can stretch the floor. Has a release point on his shot that makes it tough for defenders to contest, and he showed he's able to finish with either hand around the basket. I like how he never really got sped up under pressure, and always had his eyes scanning the floor looking to create for a teammate.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2548138"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68b5c0b1cd959"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ethan was one of the best pure shooters in attendance on Saturday. After making a nice impression with his [program_tooltip program_id='2455790' first='Howard' last='Pulley'] team in the summer, Ethan once again stood out with his length and shooting range out on the wing. If you left him open from three, he was likely going to put points on the board. Had a few nice drives where he was able to get to the block, force the defense to collapse, and then pivot to locate an open teammate out on the perimeter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2856529"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68b5c0b1cd997"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">In the early stages of his high school career, Natol is likely at his best on the defensive end of the floor. With his long and agile frame he's able to move his feet out on the perimeter, but showed he's not afraid to compete with physical players either. He was matched up with a powerful forward in the game I watched, but still did a great job of walling up to use his length to contest and force misses around the basket. Offensively his best work came in transition, as he's fast on the ball, comfortable handling in the open floor, and is a high level finisher who can play off two feet to score in traffic.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2381080"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68b5c0b1cd9d6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Max had some impressive flashes in the final game of the day, showing intriguing potential as a long term prospect. He's light on his feet at around 6'5-6'6, moving well enough to play out on the perimeter, while also having a stronger frame than most players at that height. On multiple occasions he was able to put the ball on the floor, beat his defender from the wing, and get to the rim to finish off two feet. Moves well laterally which allows him to defend either on the wing or in the paint.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
