Prep Hoops Kansas takes a look at several top performers in Lawrence.
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. — The 2018 Jayhawk Summer Finale completed play on Sunday with a host of standout performances.
Here, Prep Hoops takes a look at several of the premier players and performances from Kansas’ talent.
35 — Zach Davidson, 6’7, PF/C, 2020, Augusta, NLHA 16U Gaddis
Davidson brings toughness and activity to the floor for a big man, as he challenges shots at the defensive end of the floor, rebounds and makes himself available on the baseline and in the paint at the offensive end of the floor.
32 — Keeshawn Mason, 6’5, PF, 2021, Mill Valley, KC Run GMC 16U
Mason spent the weekend playing up an age level for a shorthanded KC Run GMC squad and held his own against the older players. Mason has a strong physical frame, is a good athlete and is a willing defender in the paint where he was able to contribute. Mason is a good rebounder, runs the floor well and has an emerging skill set.
25 — Mark Mitchell, 6’6, F, Xavier Catholic Middle School, Drive5 Power Elite 2022
Mitchell is among the most talented youngsters coming up in Kansas’ incoming freshman class. He has a terrific combination of size and athleticism for a youngster and a developing skill set. He projects as a wing with the ability to handle the ball, score around the rim and also step out to the perimeter where he is a capable shooter and passer.
22 — Jacob Owen, 6’11, PF/C, 2020, Blue Valley, KC Run GMC 16U Red
Owen is full of potential as he is armed with a long, rangy 6’11 frame and has a rare combination of agility and mobility for a big man. He runs the floor well and is a solid, all-around athlete who challenges shots defensively. At the offensive end, Owen still has a lot of work to do developing his strength, toughness and skill set.
21 — Reece Williams, 6’7, PF, 2020, Leavenworth, KC Run GMC 16U
Williams is a skilled big who can face up and put the ball on the floor a little or score on the block. He has good size and strength and is a willing and capable passer.
