Expert Analysis

Things got a little close at the end, but Zak helped lead his Select team to an opening round win over Team FSA. His quick first step allowed him to get to blow by defenders out on the perimeter, and get into the lane just about any time he wanted to. From there he could dump it off to one of his bigs, or finish on his own at full speed. True floor stretcher who knocked down a handful of threes, but was also able to utilize shot fakes out on the perimeter to open up driving lanes.

Zak stood out in the 8am time slot on Saturday. The Prior Lake guard came out red hot from three, hitting four or five shots in the first half from beyond the arc. He’s not just a shooter though, as Zak was working on the defensive end to pressure the ball hard and fight to get over screens on the perimeter. Strong frame helps him play through contact on both ends of the floor. He saw action in a handful of varsity games as a sophomore, but looks ready to step into a bigger role for Prior Lake as a junior.

Active two way guard that impacts in multiple areas on the court. Watched compete during team’s Friday game and stayed engaged throughout during a high fast paced contest. A scoring threat who can score it from inside and out. Knocked down multiple threes while also creating off penetration. Showed good feel in transition with strong pitch ahead passes or drop offs for assists. Will jump passing lanes to create turnovers and completed a tough chase down clean block. Competes wholeheartedly with instinct and anticipation for game.

Loehlein plays with a ton of confidence and seems to be able to speed the game up or slow it down as he chooses. Loehlein is a talented scorer who can get buckets in a variety of ways. This frees up all of his playmaking as the defense has to respect him as a scoring threat. As lead guard for his team, he comfortably organizes the offense. Loehlein plays with good poise and isn’t sped up easily, he’s a well-rounded offensive threat.

Zak excelled at getting to the rim and finishing through contact. He did a great job of turning a corner, getting his defender pinned to his hip, and then dictating the pace as he burst to the rim and finished. Plays off of two feet to help him go up on balance, which allowed him to convert chances even when taking a bump. Teams couldn’t afford to sag off either, as Zak was dangerous letting it fly from beyond the arc.
