The David Barnes Showcase was an exceptional collection of talent. We will look at a class of 2023 Most Outstanding Player and Honorable Mentions from the event.
HONORABLE MENTIONS
Owen Colpaert Owen Colpaert 6'1" | SG Macomb Dakota | 2023 State MI (SG, Macomb Dakota)
Colpaert is an elite perimeter talent in the class of 2023. He has lateral quickness and strong hip movement that helps him shake free from the defense.
Donovan McDonald (F, Croswell-Lexington)
I really liked the upside that McDonald showed at the showcase. He can play inside-out or outside-in. He has some athleticism and bounce in his game as well.
Gaden Muxlow Gaden Muxlow 6'4" | CG Brown City | 2023 State MI (SG, Brown City)
Muxlow looks like a linebacker in a basketball jersey! There may not be a more imposing 2 guard in the state.
Triston Nichols Triston Nichols 6'2" | SF De La Salle | 2023 State MI (G/F, Warren De La Salle)
Nichols had a fantastic weekend of basketball. He’s physically strong and can impose his will at times on his defender.
Tyran Thomas Tyran Thomas 6'4" | SG Northview | 2023 State MI (G/F, Northview)
Thomas is a quickly rising prospect. He can score from multiple levels and isn’t afraid to be physical and battle for boards.
MOST OUTSTANDING PLAYER
Tyler Jamison Tyler Jamison 6'4" | SF Port Huron Northern | 2023 State MI (SF, Port Huron Northern)
Jamison, at least when I was watching, put it in a different gear. He was fast down the floor and excelled in transition. Jamison can play athletically with body control.
