Rader has advanced IQ for the game at his age. His ability to recognize what was working and not working was evident in the early morning game this morning. If his shot wasn’t falling which it rarely is not, he was going off the bounce quickly and hitting angles hard to get paint touches with the rock and then creating off of dribble drive action. His handle is foundationally disciplined while continuing to create separation after changing speeds. Rader finishes fast at the rim whether in transition or during 1/2 court segments which makes defenses stay on their heels. Defensively he applies strong on-ball pressure and consistently helped speed pace up off of turnovers or misses. His communication and leadership skills he brings to the floor gives a team more advantages on both sides of the ball.

Rader is a fun lead guard who brings a lot of instincts and flair to the game.  He makes those around him better with his on point passing for shooters and cutters off live dribbles.  Also is a plus shooter from beyond the arc spotting up along with pulling up from deep.

A highly touted three sport athlete for the Vikings, Rader brings a crafty and nifty feel to the game. Played a lot of minutes last year as a true freshman and will provide even more value this upcoming season. Saw him compete vs one of the top ranked teams in the state over the weekend and he showed a smooth shot release from three land. What was most impactful was his passing game and ability to share the rock selflessly alongside two other talented back court guards. He made a cool drop off dime on the break and hit a teammate going back door for another assist. His IQ to see the floor and play with great pace will continue to help team make winning plays.

Another offensive weapon for Illinois Attack . He took over late in the first half vs ABC young lions. Leading them on a 15-3 run at one point and was responsible for all their buckets. Scoring or passing. He loved driving to the rim and kicking it out to an open teammate when necessary. As well as moving well off the ball to free himself up. Can knock downthe long ball from a variety of areas.
