15U Usual Suspects who shined at Mile High Madness

Mile High Madness was the conclusion of the club scene, and we got to see these players that we were already familiar with put together another solid performance. These players led their teams to wins, stacked together big-time games, and further boosted their stocks. Here's how the usual suspects fared.

Norris is a player who really dominates in the club scene as the best player on that Pluto Prospects squad, and in this latest tourney, he led them to some blowout victories over teams. You can just watch his games and tell that there's a varsity kid on the floor as the game slows down for him. He had moments where he took over as a scorer, made varsity reads, and got them going in bunches. Norris is a microwave scorer who also showed that he could be a playmaker for his team as well. He's finding out how to manipulate defenses with his passes as well as being in attack-mode. I like how he handles the ball, handles pressure, and finds ways to get to what he wants. He's a tough cover, and I am curious to see how he looks this season. His game translates, just has to put it together.     Masen was the biggest player in the 15U division, and he used his 6'7 frame to his advantage. Mile High Select knows how to bring the best out of him, and he was very productive. They had him affecting the game in multiple ways as he kept his hands high defensively, stepped out on guards for a few seconds, moved his feet, and had multiple blocks in the games that we saw him in. Masen showed good footwork offensively and had a few over-the-shoulder hook shots, squared up and attacked, and they put him at the high post as well. We saw him play a bit at Colorado Live with Valor Christian and wanted to see more of him. Well, he looked good on our second and third watch as well, and that is while playing up!     Ayden is also another one of those 15U players that you could just instantly tell that he plays varsity with how he moves and dissects the defense. Ayden was making varsity-like moves, handling the ball, and could not be denied getting to his spots. We got to see a bit of everything with him, moments he took over, times we wanted to see him be a bit more aggressive, and he found teammates and a game like the one we saw against Pro Skills when he refused to be guarded. He's an unselfish guard who can shoot the 3-ball and had a pretty complete weekend. We want to see more from him soon, but we think he'll be a name who makes some noise in that 2029 class.     Martin is a player who we saw play before, but things are starting to come together for him, and you can see how he's reading defenses that he's understanding it a bit more. This weekend, he put together a few solid performances where he was scoring inside as he hit a couple of floaters, got to the rim, and also found holes in the defense. He kept so much pressure on the defense and got to the FT line when he didn't convert. I like how he can play both on and off the ball and can impact the game in ways other than just scoring. We like what we saw from him this weekend.     Sanders was arguably the top scorer on the weekend and dominated in every single game that we saw from him. He's a natural scorer who shoots the 3-ball, and defenses tried running him off of that, and that only opened up the rest of his game. He's a smart scorer who understands how to get easy and quick baskets. He got out in transition, got behind the defense as a slasher, and had baseline finishes and attacked both in ISO baskets and coming off of screens. He also showed that he's a willing passer who made the right plays on the floor. He was one of, if not the top player in 15U on the weekend for Colorado Collective.     Brady is a bucket, and I am very curious to see how that translates to the high school season. He was lighting teams up at Mile High Madness and was very consistent with his scoring. He had a 28-point blowout performance; he put up 20+ points in each game that we saw him, and was a force on the boards. He grabbed rebounds and started the break, cut off the ball for easy baskets with a good feel for where to be, and also got hot from deep. I liked how he worked in iso situations and how he would call and operate into the PnR as well. His face-up game stood out, as well as how he could play both on and off ball. The Wildcats were one of my favorite watches and a team that I think was one of the top 15U teams of the summer, with Brady leading the way for them. Huge summer for him and a player we're wanting to see again heading into the season. Brady, make it out to the showcase so we can see you in a different setting.
