Bruskotter has taken his game to another level these playoffs and a 34-point performance on 13/16 from the field was incredible to watch.

With his high school team Bruskotter essentially runs point guard where he creates offense for himself and gets to handle the basketball and make plays for others. With the Ohio Buckets, Bruskotter plays a complimentary role where he spaces the floor and rebounds. At the college level he will play a more similar role to this, holding an offer from Toledo, which has done an excellent job with forwards that can space the floor.

One of the more interesting prospects in the 2024 class to evaluate, Bruskotter has a unique game. While I project Bruskotter as a stretch-4 at the college level for low to mid major programs, he literally runs point guard for his high school team. This gives me an opportunity to see what he can and can’t do with the basketball against less athletic defenders. At the start of the game, Bruskotter was amazing, knocking down tough off the dribble jumpers and finding open teammates when the help came on him. As the game went on Bruskotter struggled a little when forcing contested shots, but still had a huge impact on the game and his team winning a key conference battle. Seeing players in a variety of settings is crucial as an evaluator and Bruskotter plays very different roles with his high school and grassroots teams.
