Maple Grove graduated a few key players from last season, but Ben looks ready to step up for some of that lost production. The 6’4 guard helped lead his team to a comeback win against Midwest Mayhem, hitting some key shots down the stretch. Ben mixed in some pull-up jumpers with a few physical takes to the basket, including a strong finish that put his team ahead by one point with just seconds to play in overtime. Ben has shown a nice mid-range game over the past few years, but you can tell he’s been working on adding strength that has made him a bigger threat attacking the basket.

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.
