He is physically stronger than most guards who try to defend him.</p> <p>Nick Kern 6’5” Vashon: The slashing wing is a resourceful bucket-getter. He is tough on the drive and shoot from the perimeter. He is a very good offensive rebounder who also excels in the transition game.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="994433" first="Jaden" last="Jones"] 6’7 St Louis Christian: The Rutgers commit is an excellent 3-point shooter, but he has other ways to beat the defense. He had some nice takes off the dribble and he could back down and shoot over smaller defenders.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="824121" first="KJ" last="Lee"] 6’6 Fort Zumwalt North: The smooth wing is a knock down shooter from 3-point range. His ball handling and passing skills have also continued to evolve. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>2022</p> <p>Robert Martin 5’9 CBC: The diminutive point guard is a scoring threat from all three levels. He can accelerate in the open court and stop and pop from the mid range. He also displayed his 3-point shooting range. </p> <p>Kellan Thames 6’4 Pattonville: Slashing young wing who played with tremendous energy. He attacked the rim very well and was always filling the lane on the break. He also hit an open 3-pointer.</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="984513" first="Kristian" last="Davis"] 6’3 Christian-O’Fallon: A strong, physical guard who looked to push the pace. He consistently froze defenders with his hesitation move to the basket. His finishing skills were very good</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>2023</p> <p>B.J. Ward 6’0 Chaminade: Talented young guard who did an excellent job on the championship team. He could run the show from the point or play off the ball with his 3-point shooting. He is also a solid defender.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
