Vega made a point to get himself seen throughout the summer, and that exposure went a long way in showing us the type of prospect he could become in Northern Colorado. We watched him on multiple occasions, and his versatility, basketball IQ and ability to play at his own pace consistently stood out. He had a big scoring performance at a Prep Hoops event, but what impressed us just as much was another outing where he impacted the game through defending, rebounding and simply being in the right spots. He’s a competitor who understands how to contribute without needing the offense to revolve around him. We also noticed a growing confidence in his game, which could be a major factor in his development. After averaging 5.7 points last season, we’re expecting a significant increase in his game as he becomes more assertive and comfortable taking on more responsibility. Vega can be a two-way option for Greeley West and is an X-factor to watch.

Vega displayed a physical presence during the event and consistently competed around the paint. He was active on the glass, battled for rebounds and showed good awareness with outlet passes to quickly get his team moving. Offensively Vega gave defenses different problems with his ability to score with his back to the basket and work from the block. He played with toughness and purpose, embracing the physical side of the game while finding ways to contribute on both ends. His interior presence made him a name worth knowing and watching after The Expo

I was watching another game and kept looking over and seeing a player score over and over. I had to come over and start watching Greeley Titans, and it was Vega who continued to turn head son Day 1. He made high-level reads, attacked the rim, and finished through traffic. Vega has good footwork, moves well, and scores in bunches. His confidence helped him have a day that helped get him on our radar, and I want to see how he looks moving forward. We hope to see more of Vega as we feel he could make some noise and battle with some of the better guards in the state if he can continue playing like he did on Day 1.
