Midate Mou Midate Mou 6'1" | SG Trinity | 2021 State NV 6’1 SG Simply Fundamental 2021 – Mou is a tempo changing combo guard. When he’s on, he has the ability to impact the game with his length, quickness and active hands. Had several great steals during the weekend, and showed some slashing and finishing ability when he had the ball in his hands.
Dominque Clifton Dominque Clifton 6'2" | SG Eldorado | 2021 State NV 6’2 SG Hard 2 Guard 2021 (#66PHN 2021) – I’ve heard a lot of opinions about Dominque Clifton Dominque Clifton 6'2" | SG Eldorado | 2021 State NV recently. Here’s what I know. Get him in the open court and he’s as dangerous as any player in the state. A prototypical undersized wing, Clifton showed off his R&J athletic ability this weekend.
Jackson Williams Jackson Williams 6'2" | SF Faith Lutheran | 2021 State NV 6’2 SG Team Rougue 2021 (#40PHN 2021) – There’s a place for Williams somewhere. The perfect glue guy, Williams was a lot more aggressive offensively this weekend, however his best skill was still his ability to defend, and provide all the little things needed to help his team win.
Frank Evans Frank Evans 6'1" | SG Eldorado | 2022 State NV 6’1 SG Hard 2 Guard 2022 – Evans is a smooth scorer with the ability to get a quiet 15. He’ll earn the other 5 with his ability to finish in transition, knock down open shots, and get buckets off dribble drives.
Vinny Veikalas 6’3 SG Vikings 2021 (featured image) – Veikalas is a positionless player, with a powerful frame. He can knock down shots when left open, but his favorite thing to do is bully his way to the rim.
Dom Muncey 6’2 Team Rogue 2021 – Muncey was impressive for Team Rogue. As usual he played pesky defense and sacrificed his body for the team. What was new this weekend, was his dribble drive ability. Muncey routinely collapsed the defense by getting into the middle of the paint, and then making plays for teammates.
