Expert Analysis
Ryan Morgan | Prep Hoops Scout
The Saint Martin’s commit is a two-time league MVP who’s been the quintessential leader for Olympia the last couple of years. He showed up early on in his career, making an impact at the state tournament as a sophomore, and took off from there. He’s a guy they count on to score but can also control the pace from the top. He plays sound off of two in and around the paint, is an efficient shooter ready to drill threes off of paint touches, and can hit late-clock shots from further out.

He was their leading scorer last season, and it would be safe to assume he fills that role again this winter, but Lindblom showed some real toughness and grit this past Saturday. He’s a worker defensively, scraps for loose balls and long rebounds, and doesn’t give up on the play. He missed a layup in their first game, and while the rest of the team ran back, Lindblom ripped the ball away from the guy who got the board and put it in for the bucket.

Olympia’s found a lot of success this year even after losing a bunch of key players from last season’s State runner-up team. At 15-5 overall, and 13-0 in league play, the Bears have found their step in January going 9-1 with wins over top SPSL teams, Curtis and Sumner. A big piece of that success has been Lindblom. He’s shown he can go out and get buckets in big moments, scoring 13 of his 24 points in the fourth quarter against Rogers in a Jan. 20 victory, and outpacing the entire Rams team 13-11 in the final frame. But Lindblom does more than score and even in their lone loss of the month to Tahoma, Lindblom showed an ability to get penetration, draw extra defenders, and set up his teammates with timely passes. He did a lot of little things in that game like long box outs and strips in transition.
