A pure hooper, Piatt isn’t the biggest, fastest or strongest player on the court but he just knows how to impact the game. Active hands and good effort allow him to make an impact defensively despite his frame. On the offensive end, Piatt is money from the mid-range, with multiple buckets Vs the zone defense including one just before the third quarter buzzer. As a passer, Piatt had multiple jump passes that led to buckets and is willing to make the extra swing to a teammate. Enjoyed watching Piatt and the host Smithies on Saturday. Despite the loss, Smithville is still one of the better teams in Division VI from the northeast region. 

The Piatt name is well known in Smithville and Brennan stood out for the hosts on Saturday as they picked up a nice win over Genoa. A strong guard for his grade, Piatt did a nice job of getting to the rim and using his strength in the paint. Also flashing the ability to shoot it from the outside, Piatt hit an early 3-pointer. A name I’ll be watching over the next few years, Piatt is having a big impact for a Smithville squad that has a chance to contend in Division VI.
