Bakken’s strength and handle make him a valuable downhill decision maker, adept at operating along the baseline for finishes or corner kickouts. With multiple key injuries to the 17U Flyers’ backcourt, Bakken took on the larger role in stride. Defensively, the guard is seemingly always in position from helpside, ready to take away the lane or minimize opportune angles.

Bakken is a physical guard who has a nose for the ball, always in play for offensive rebounds. A scrappy athlete, the guard is constantly seeking driving lanes, often times through contact.

Bakken is among the only guards on this list, however his constant hustle and high motor made a positive impact with the Flyers. Active crashing for offensive rebounds, there are few guards with his strength and IQ when grabbing a board. Defensively, they hold their own at the point of attack, bringing in a low center of gravity and strong frame for his position.

He can shoot the ball well, and make a quick crossover and get to the bucket with ease, his craftiness will get him far in this game.

An assertive ball handler, Bakken was fearless attacking the rim against ThunderRidge’s array of physically imposing defenders. Fairly strong versus contact, he played a valuable role drawing in help defense for passes.
