Alex Tong, 6’6 Sioux Falls Lincoln (2021) – Alex showcased nice touch around the rim, both right and left-handed. Tong used his fakes effectively to have a couple up and under moves to finish in the paint. Rebounded extremely well in his area due to his size and soft hands. Created a lot of space on the perimeter with his screens and movement without the basketball.
Caden Hinker Caden Hinker 6'6" | PF Mitchell | 2022 State SD , 6’7 Mitchell (2022) – Not a true center, but if there was a combo F/C he is it. Caden could guard multiple positions as well not giving up the position in the paint. The ability to knock down the midrange elbow out to the three makes Caden hard to guard. Passed well out of the post to the open perimeter player whether it was the same side kick out or diagonal kick out.
Hayden Muirhead Hayden Muirhead 6'7" | PF SF O'Gorman | 2021 State SD , 6’7 Harrisburg (2021) – Strong force to be reckoned with in the paint. First time down the floor Hayden slid through the paint with great hands and feet to then attempted to dunk on the post defender. Uses his length well to get a lot of rebounds in his area then rim ran the court very effectively.
Cameron Jackson Cameron Jackson 6'8" | C Lincoln | 2022 State SD , 6’8 SF Lincoln (2022) – Very Strong player with great feet and hands. Laterally moved well on offense and defense to lock down the paint and slid well on ball screens. Understood angles in the post from the perimeter pass to the paint that kept him in scoring position.
