Hanif was the other main scoring threat for Breck last night, knocking down five shots from beyond the arc on his way to an 18 point performance. He showcased such a quick release, and with defenders having to think about his quick first step to attack, they often left him with enough space to get a shot off from three. Close out too hard though and Hanif was able to attack and get the ball swinging which most often led to an open shot for a teammate after one/two more passes. That type of ball movement helped Breck defeat Blake 87-61.

Hanif had a huge second half and was a large part of Breck’s tight victory over Alexandria. He connected with three triples and was also impactful with his ball handling and defending down the stretch. Those nine points were monumental in this back and forth game and Breck remains as the number one team in class AA going into the second full week of the season.

Hanif had a very successful club season this past spring and summer and he looks to be carrying that right into the winter. He is such a gifted scorer, as he can create a look for himself from anywhere on the floor. He really showed off his speed and quickness in the matchup with Wayzata, outrunning defenders in transition or making one move to blow by whoever is in front of him for a finish at the rim. I saw him pickpocket an opposing ball handler, then ran full speed down the floor for a tough finish at the other end. Muhammed is electric with the ball in his hands. 

Hanif helped lead Breck to the Class AA title on Sunday afternoon with a win over Holy Family. Utilized his quickness on the ball to get into the paint for finishes or kickout passes, while also showcasing his shooting touch from beyond the arc. Defensive pest as he’s super quick laterally which allows him to constantly pressure the ball on the perimeter. Hanif put together an impressive spring, and looks to be the floor general for a Breck team that has a very intriguing roster for next season.
