Feddersen was one of the bigger eye-openers for me at Colorado Live, as I have been wanting to see how he’d look as a major contributor on that Chaftield squad. We saw him have his moments with Mountain Stars, but only in blowout wins, so we needed to see him battle against top bigs and hold his own. The size jumps out immediately as he’s already 6’10, but it was the versatility that kept pulling me back. Against Legend, he held his own physically while showing much more than a traditional back-to-the-basket game. He spaced the floor, knocked down multiple threes, looked like their best shooter, and then turned around and finished with jump hooks inside. Defensively, he covered ground well, altered shots, and continued running the floor, and that was up against a 7-footer. A big man with that kind of size with that kind of shooting touch is worth paying attention to, and at Live, he gave me a much better feel for where his game is headed.

Fedderson is here to stay, and I am sure that the more I watch him, the more he’ll continue to rise. I just haven’t seen him enough to make him higher, but I believe he will finish up in the rankings as a Top-10 player and could get there in no time. The ceiling is so high with him, and in the tournament I got to see of him, he was a nightmare matchup for the opposing team. At the 15U level, he’s just a bit too much. He not only alters shots, but he also blocks everything that comes his way; he moves well, and finishes above the rim. He was dunking through traffic, he has good hand-eye coordination, and made catches that he wasn’t supposed to, and finished. His size is overwhelming, but he also seems to have the skill to go along with it. He makes his rankings debut and will be an instant riser, I am sure. 

Landon’s size and athleticism already make him one of the highest upside players in the entire state. He’s a gifted 6’9 big man with a long wingspan, and he also looks to score. He had moments this weekend where he was just too much on the block. Feddersen knows where to be; he catches the ball and powers up. He had a couple of floaters, he finished on some back-to-the-basket buckets, and was a cheat code on the floor. Defensively, his size just matters a ton at this age group. Opponents had an extremely difficult time scoring with him on the floor, and he stepped out on the perimeter and applied pressure as well. Feddersen has the chance to be one of the state’s best overall players come senior year, and this was a big weekend for him.
