Prep Hoops Scout

Akan Berisso Akan Berisso 5'11" | PG Maple Grove | 2027 State MN put together a strong performance Tuesday night against Wayzata. He excelled in the point guard role, playing under control and consistently getting his team into their offensive sets. Akan has a knack for making the right basketball play, whether it was swinging the ball around the perimeter to find open shooters or attacking open lanes for finishes at the rim and mid-range pull-ups off the dribble.

WHY?

He is a tenacious defender who is great at using his body to make contact with opposing guards. Akan is a tough downhill guard who constantly gets in the paint and finishes through contact or finds the open man. Berisso is a team-first player who is smart and unselfish with the rock.

Akan was another impact defender, using his lateral quickness to make plays on and away from the ball. He came up with a pair of steals during his first few minutes on the floor, and took one all the way to the rim for two points. Has a quick first step to attack the basket in the half-court when he sees a gap.

Akan is a point guard that can create on his own as a scorer. A quick handle on the ball and crossover to get by his initial on-ball defender. Got to the hoop and created contact to get to the line. He’d attack the hoop relentlessly and keep going until he was stopped.
