Week 5 Scouting Notebook: Tony’s Top Wings

Kasen BaileyKasenBailey6'0" | SGWashington | 2022StateIA, Washington (2022) Bailey was really good in the Demons loss to Burlington, finishing with 22 points, 6 assists, and 3 steals. The 6-2 junior is a good athlete with great body control around the rim, and he did a great job attacking the defense, getting into the paint, and either finishing or finding open teammates. He does a good job passing into the shooting pocket of his teammates so they can get the shot up quickly, and he showcased a good looking stroke from behind the arc, going 3-8 from deep.    Traijan SainTraijanSain6'5" | SFCedar Rapids Washington | 2023StateIA, Cedar Rapids Washington (2023) The highest upside player on the floor in the Washington vs. Linn-Mar tilt, Sain scored 11 points with 6 rebounds and 5 blocks. He's an athletic 6-4 wing with great length. He'll need to add some weight to his frame as he prepares for the next level, but he's still young and growing. He showed a willingness to post up a smaller defender, although he tended to still fade away from the bucket when he was on the block. He needs to become a more consistent shooter, but there are a lot of physical tools here. He moves his feet well on defense and has the length to make an impact on that end of the floor.    Quincy UnderwoodQuincyUnderwood6'3" | SFCedar Rapids Washington | 2021StateIA, Cedar Rapids Washington (2021) I'm a big fan of Underwood and his game. He's a big, physical wing who handles the ball well looks to attack bigger defenders off the bounce and he's showcased a much-improved jumper. He's great on the glass, gets his hands on a ton of passes on the defensive end, and is a strong help defender. Underwood finished with 12 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 blocks.   Carter Harmsen, Mid-Prairie (2022) I was really looking forward to watching Harmsen, who has been putting up some huge numbers this year. He didn't have a good shooting day against West Branch (3-13 from the floor), but I still came away impressed with him. He looks to attack hard closeouts and has a good looking lefty stroke, with range out to the arc. He's a good ball-handler with the ability to rip-and-run, leading the break, but where he really shined in this game was with his passing. He was credited with just four assists, but could've had 8-9 with a few more made shots. He played really well out of the high post, finding open teammates, in particular Aidan Rath in the paint who did a great job sealing his man. I look forward to watching Harmsen again on a night where his shot is falling, but he impacted the game in a number of other ways.
