Since the Cascade Kings were off this past weekend, Schmidt joined up with Albany Elite and did exactly what you’d expect him to do – put up some points. Coming off the bench, he was instant offense with his deep threes and quick glides to the basket with the left-handed finishes, and his ability to score in a hurry helped propel Albany Elite to a win in the consolation bracket.

With Sprague’s graduation losses, Schmidt will be counted upon heavily for his scoring and that was on display at the game we watched at team camp. While the 5-foot-9 guard’s three-point shot wasn’t totally clicking, he adjusted by getting to the hoop for scores, using his ability to scoop shots over taller opponents once he was in the paint.

While we were familiar with most of the names at the Sophomore ID Camp, Schmidt was a new one for us – he just moved to Oregon from Arizona. He was more than a pleasant surprise though as he unofficially led the event in scoring, using a fast release and deep range to light it up from three-point range as well as quick moves to the hoop to score past defenders with either hand, often drawing contact. His 40-point explosion in the final game of the day was a joy to witness for everyone who witnessed it. (JT)
