Expert Analysis

Prep Hoops Scout

Good luck finding a player with a better mid-range game than Ben in the 2028 class. At 6’4 he has the length needed to get into that elbow area and elevate to get a shot off over opposing wings. Just about anytime he was able to get his feet set from 12-15 feet, Ben was connecting for two points. One of those jumpers was a tough turnaround shot as he showed no problem connecting with a hand right in his face. He played mostly JV during his sophomore season for a loaded Maple Grove program, but looks like a prime candidate to step into a bigger role at the varsity level as a junior.

Ben impressed again with a strong offensive performance against Wayzata. He has a smooth jumper and consistently knocks down the three-point shot. Even more impressive was his effectiveness putting the ball on the floor, as he finished at the rim effortlessly multiple times on Tuesday night. Ben has showed me multiple times that he has a complete offensive game; I expect that to translate on the varsity level for the sophomore.

Ben had a good showing in Tuesday night clash with a loaded Hopkins squad. He is a quality athlete with a high motor and aggressive, well-balanced attack. He showcased those traits as he drove the lane, finishing through contact at the rim and getting to the line often. He also stepped out and knocked down shots from behind the arc, rounding out an impressive performance.

Ben impressed last year at the Freshman Showcase, and this year was a standout at the Sophomore ID Camp. He has the chance to develop into a dangerous shooter out on the wing for Maple Grove. Anytime a teammate penetrated the defense, Ben was moving out on the perimeter to create an angle for a kick-out pass, and when the ball came his way he didn’t miss much. Ben has a smooth release on his shot, and does a nice job of quickly getting his hands and feet set to catch and shoot on the move.
