What pops immediately about Karnauchovas’ play is his noticeable edginess and toughness he brings to every possession. He has a compact strong frame as a floor facilitator which allows him to absorb contact and consistently draw whistles. His willingness to attack the basket at a solid rate off the bounce gives defenses a challenge. The way he pushes in transition helps speed pace up and he showcased bounce at the rim in this phase with a breakaway 1 handed flush. His unique blend of strength and relentless motor deems him a 2-way presence that impacts beyond the box score.

A high-energy point guard for Buffalo Grove. Love the build and athleticism he displays despite his 6’1″ size. As a defender, he can really get in your face with intense man-to-man defense. On the other end, he adda an explosive first step to the rim with good ball-control. He’s even capable of making a turnaround jumper when needed while also showing off a quick catch-and-shoot release. A highly underrated player on his class

Edwin is jittery and quick defensively along the perimeter, reading actions and fighting through screens to stay attached to his man. Offensively, he can find a rhythm in high-pressure moments, showing craft with off-balance finishes, push shots on drives, pull-ups off the bounce, and reliable three-point touch. He does a good job mixing up his scoring package and brings explosiveness to Buffalo Grove’s offense. A top sophomore in the Mid-Suburban League.
