Blake Lund Blake Lund 6'1" | CG Linden | 2021 State MI (2021, CG, Linden, Team Focus)

He scored at all 3 levels, from fantastic finishes to burying triples. Menifield Jr. showed terrific body control and agility in the lane, allowing him to find looks at the rim even when in traffic.

On defense, he consistently pressured the ball and forced the offense to make quick decisions
