It's too soon to say but Axdahl is in the running to be the top prospect of the 2030 class with his size and agility alone. Axdahl showed very good skill on the perimeter for his age and size, long range shooting ability, and ball handling in space. Axdahl will be pushed inside because of his height and most of the time I saw him with [program_tooltip program_id='2075431' first='D1' last='Minnesota'] 3SSB teams he looked like he was pushed there. At the middle school camp he displayed he could very well be a wing or very agile stretch four as he gets older.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2850040' first='Maijor' last='Parson'] - Parson is a 2030 five-foot-eleven-inch forward from North Dakota and played for [program_tooltip program_id='2430295' first='Flight' last='701'] during AAU. Parson showed solid ball handling ability and strong driving ability. His jump shot could be smoothed out mechanically speaking although he did step out and willingly shot the ball from deep. Strength wise he was more mature than other 2030 players and he moved well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2930842' first='Rex' last='Lewis'] - Lewis is a 2031 five-foot-four-inch guard from New Ulm and plays with [program_tooltip program_id='2075704' first='MN' last='Rise']. Lewis was impressive in his court awareness, shot the ball well from the perimeter, and was aggressive driving into the paint with some advanced ball fake ability. Lewis seems well comfortable being the lead ball handler, and he pushed pace well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2524087' first='Matthew' last='Mekonnen'] - Mekonnen is a 2030 guard from Eastview and played AAU with MN Fury. Mekonnen showed the ability to create his own shot on three separate occasions, two 3-pointers and one in the mid-range. Mekonnen will need to improve as a ball handler to carry the load on the perimeter and be an attacker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2840356' first='Isaac' last='Hougas'] - Hougas is a five-foot-seven-inch 2030 Annandale guard. Hougas excelled in space during the 3-on-3 contest driving and attacking. Hougas played mostly as a combo guard, off the ball. Displayed ability and potential as a perimeter scorer and shooter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2913163' first='Bentley' last='Berge'] - Berge is a 2030 five-foot-three-inch guard from Maple that played off the ball guard mostly in 5-on-5. One possession I like is that Berge attacked the rim off the dribble and hit a floater. At his size Berge will need to be stronger as a ball handler and passer and that may come quickly with maturity and growth.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2411639' first='Rohby' last='Weidner'] - Weidner is a five-foot-five-inch 2030 guard that showcased outside shooting ability and that he is a fine ball handler. Weidner is the off the ball type guard, and I like when he showed aggressiveness after a made basket pushing pace and making a lay-up while going through contact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
