Miles Fant 6’4″ KC Premiere: A very skilled combo forward who I was very impressed with in the two games that I watched. He had a nice post game with the ability to score around the basket combined with an excellent turnaround jumper from the mid-post area. He handled the ball well and can drive by people so he caused matchup problems with his size and versatility.
Daylon Gorment 6’6″ KC Premiere: A very capable young post with good size and a nice shooting touch around the basket with both hands. He could step out and hit a high post jumper and he had excellent mobility for his size. He is a solid rebounder who can also run in transition and outhustle opposing bigs.
Kyron Thropes 6’4″ Missouri GoL1ve Black: A skilled combo forward who can make plays on both ends of the court. He is smooth and very athletic. He had a couple of plays where he jumped the passing lanes for steals and converted them for transition dunks. He attacked the basket well on the dribble and he was also a very good offensive rebounder who got buckets on put backs.
Tekhi Chievous 6’3″ Missouri GoL1ve: Talented combo forward with a nice skill set and good size to go along with it. He could attack the basket or stop on the dime to deliver the pull up jumper. He is a smooth ball handler who can also pass the ball well. He has a nice upside, so It will be fun to watch him develop over the years.
Aaron Ledgerwood: Missouri Flight 16U: A young big who played up at the 16U level and handled himself well throughout the weekend. He has good fundamental skills around the basket where uses his size well when posting up and keeping the ball up away from the smaller guards. He was also a good finisher around the basket and did well against the physical play.
Ikenna Ezeogu 6’5″ Team YOBO: A big-bodied young post who plays tough around the basket as a scorer and rebounder. He uses his physical strength to his advantage, especially when it comes to the battle of the boards. He could also get out and run as well.
