This tournament was a fantastic showcase of all of the talent present in the midwest, many of which will receive a major uptick in recruiting! Be on the lookout for the rest of my coverage from this event!
Daniel Inman 2022 6’3 Wisconsin Crusaders AD 16U- Seymour High School
Daniel is an athletic playmaker who loves to create for others. His mentality allows his teammates to succeed off of his hard work. He sets off-ball screens, is incredibly active without the ball and always seems to be diving to the rim and becoming wide open and finding other weak spots in the defense around the arc. He is able to handle the ball-handling role of an entire team and has the awareness to start offensive sets and make the right pass and read every time down the court.
Thomas Menk Thomas Menk 6'4" | SG Lewiston-Altura | 2022 State MN 2022 6’3 SE MN Thunder 16U- Lewiston-Altura High School
Thomas has a great use of post moves a refreshing thing to see at such a young age. He is strong and physical down low and is great at utilizing drop steps to get better positioning under the rim. He is fantastic at boxing out defenders and getting to rebounds on both sides of the floor. His awareness and ability to seal defenders off and create driving lanes for his teammates was very heads up and noticeable. He’s agile enough to be an effective rim runner as well, to see his game continue to develop he should focus on putting the ball on the floor and creating off the dribble instead of with his back to the basket.
Adam Dunlap 2022 6’2 Iowa Mavs Squiers 16U- Camanche High School
Adam is an intelligent and aware defender. He is a good rim protector and is great at cleaning up and covering his teammate’s mistakes on the defensive end of the floor. His heads up game allowed him to slide into position and draw charges and turn away shots. On the offensive side of the ball, he is great at spacing the floor and moving all around the court to get open. To open up his game even more he needs more work on his ball control with both hands and strength and ability to finish at the rim, also with both hands.
Josiah Butler Josiah Butler 6'3" | CG Fox Valley Lutheran | 2022 State WI 2022 6’2 Wisconsin Crusaders AD 16U- FVL High School
Josiah is an athletic and hard-working wing. He is a great on-ball defender and protects the rim very well for his size, coming up with multiple emphatic blocks at the rim. On the offensive side of the ball, he has a quick handle and gets low with the ball to get by defenders. He moves very well with and without the basketball, constantly running around the arc and the baseline to shake defenders.
