Sugars out of St. Cat’s was relentless in his pursuit to get downhill in 5 on 5 evaluation games. Korben oftentimes found himself getting directly to the rim by reading closeouts effectively, or using his quick first step out of triple threat. Despite being a bit undersized, Sugars finishes aggressively at the cup, embracing contact. When Korben was not attacking with the ball, he was able to find opportunities to cut on baseline and middle drives to find offensive opportunities.

Sugars leveraged his low center of gravity and strong frame to consistently bully defenders. Operating with exceptional patience, he let the game come to him rather than forcing action. Sugars excelled at attacking off the catch, burning hard closeouts with crisp drives, and knocking down perimeter shots with confidence. His mature balance between assertive scoring and unselfish distribution made him one of the most complete guards on the floor.

Korben was very impressive in his games with Team Haliburton . He is the main ball handler, and with that comes serious responsibility. He was able to collect a handful of assists and would pass up a good shot for an even better shot for his teammates. While being the main ball handler, he is also an excellent scorer. He can create his own shot and get to his spots on the floor while converting at a high percentage. Pass-first guards like him are the most important to have on the floor. Being able to score from the midrange to the three-point line while also finding teammates is what makes him such a special player.

Korben is another one of the smaller guards at the event who stood out with his quickness and shifty handle. He could beat guys off the dribble with ease, but knocked down a pull-up three to show that you couldn’t afford to sag off him. Did a great job as a transition ball handler where he kept his eyes scanning the floor, and was able to dish out a pair of assists in the open floor.

Sugars proved capable of switching gears on defenders looking to stay in front of him. His soft jump shot from the arc posed a threat all afternoon. He showed great pace when getting downhill and scoring in the painted area. One of the more consistent guards who brought it each and every game.
