Chase Kasten is a playmaker who consistently takes advantage of open lanes, driving hard to the rim. He protected the ball well, often driving into double teams and kicking it out to open wings. Kasten flashed a soft midrange jumper and confidence from beyond the arc. Overall, Kasten looked like a guard who read opposing teams’ structures well and made quick decisions.

The most productive player on the court, Kasten impacted the game in a variety of ways from the wing position. Able to operate as the ball handler in pick and roll situations and turn the corner to beat the hedge defense, Kasten showed patience and used his length to extend at the rim and finish. Being guarded by smaller wings, Kasten found success running the floor and catching it on the block and scoring at the basket. In the second half with the Illinois Wolves 16 U group looking to extend their lead, Kasten came from out of nowhere for a monster chase down blocked shot. Impressive all around performance from him on Friday evening in a win.
