Roster
Max Alexander Max Alexander 6'0" | PG Next Level Prep | 2022 KS of Buhler HS (6’0 PG). Alexander comes from a well-known family of ballers. He is a heady point guard who is an extension of his head coach/father on the floor. The third-team all 4A star can create his own shots, both in the lane and on the perimeter. But he grasps the importance of facilitating the offense and getting his teammates involved. He’s ultra quick and a flawless ball handler who shoots an impressive pull-up 3-pointer off the dribble. On defense, his stout build and quick hands are frustrating to opposing guards. And he’s always thinking a step-ahead of opponents.
Alex Littlejohn Alex Littlejohn 6'5" | CG Bishop Carrol | 2021 State KS of Bishop Carroll (6’5 SG). The second-team all 5A wing is an elite shooter. When he gets going, it doesn’t seem to matter what the defense tries against him. His wiry build and long arms make him an angular mismatch in the lane, where he can shoot with either hand, and where he can out-jump opponents. On the break, he’s a great ball handler and passer. Though not powerfully built, he’s relentless after rebounds and loose balls.
Blake Danitschek Blake Danitschek 6'6" | SG Kapaun | 2021 State KS of Kaupan Mt. Carmel HS (6’6 SG). Like Littlejohn, Danitschek can light it up from deep. His high release point and fluidity around the arc make him tough to shut down. He’s a capable ball handler from end to end and a heady team-first passer. For Pray N Play, he doesn’t spend a lot of time in the post, but he’s a strong rebounder on defense.
Carter Reid Carter Reid 6'0" | SG Bishop Carrol | 2021 State KS of Bishop Carroll HS (5’11 PG). Reid is an athletic, relentless guard who can do a lot of everything. He’s well built and big enough to really torment opposing guards, but he’s fast and quick enough to really wreak havoc. On offense, he can shoot from the perimeter and get to the rim with the dribble, but one of his most impressive attributes is how he slices through the lane without the ball. His teammates find him for a lot of shots on the move in the lane.
Josh Jordan of Salina South HS (6’0 PG). Jordan is an unselfish leader who does a lot of the little things. The big guard can drive and score or dish, and he seems to be always working to get his teammates the ball. He’s got a fluid shot from beyond the arc and doesn’t force opportunities. He’s a smooth defender who can stay with small, quick ball handlers. He’s a willing and effective rebounder, even against bigger opponents.
