Caleb McGill 2020 Colorado Chaos combo (pictured above)
Six-foot-8-inch point-forward prospect Caleb McGill does everything pretty well. McGill can handle the ball, shoot, slash, post up etc. He looked like the master of all tricks as he scored from all three levels, shot the ball at an elite level, and defended in both phases of the floor. As a shooter, McGill could pull-up from deep to convert the 3-ball regularly, but was not a stranger on the drive either. Furthermore, he’s an especially-consistent and efficient shooter. In terms of pure hustle, McGill shines in the rebounding game thanks to his length and tenacity. He has a high motor and is good for the distance with fine endurance.
Blake Danitschek 2021 KS Pray N Play wing
Blake Danitscheck stands at 6-foot-5 and has a tool bag full of skills. He’s a great spot-up shooter and displayed the ability to rack up scoring in the shooting game over the weekend. Danitscheck’s hustle was undeniable, top-notch and important to his team. He’s tenacious, dominates in the rebounding game as he gets position in the paint or crashes the boards, and seeks opportunities to hustle for loose balls whenever available. As a scorer, rebounder and hustle guy, Danitscheck is versatile as they come.
Traejon Davis 2020 Team Buddy Buckets wing
Traejon Davis is an exceptionally athletic, explosive wing. Davis dominated in the scoring game in the paint, toughing through defenders and using his quick footwork and power to take those guys to the basket. However, Davis was able to do a lot more to defenders than dominate on the inside. Davis was great about popping from the high post and launching quick-released 3-pointers before defenders could recover from the screen. As a shooter, Davis is a true knock-down guy who will knock down a shot-or-two in any given game; sometimes three or more.
