Camden Bennett Camden Bennett 6'3" | SG St. Joe Lafayette | 2023 State MO 6’2” 816 Varsity: This powerhouse guard open the weekend with a 30-point performance to lead his team to the win. His physical strength and athleticism make him very difficult to deal with. When he’s not attacking on the drive, he’s posting up and he just keeps coming.
Henry Eliason 6’4 Minnesota Magic Elite: Am impressive wing player who dropped 25 points in his team’s opening victory. He was one of the many 3-point shooters on his team, yet I liked his overall floor game. His handles were tight and his passes were crisp and he displayed some athleticism as well.
Kevin Parker Jr Kevin Parker Jr 6'2" | SG Parkview | 2023 State MO 6’2 Missouri Flight: The smooth shooting guard continued his torrid spring as he scored 31 points and made seven 3-pointers in his first game. He shoots it well coming off screens and he can create off the dribble with the step-back or pull up. He has a solid body as well to play through the contact.
Cade Primack 5’11 Kessel Heat: Tough point guard who scored 24 points in a competitive 76-70 victory over Missouri Flight. He hit big shots at key moments of the game while handling the ball with poise and toughness against pressure. He wasn’t afraid to go inside amongst the trees.
Jorden Williams Jorden Williams 6'0" | PG Whitfield | 2023 State MO 5’11 Gateway: Young point guard was back on the court for the first time in several weeks after being out with an injury. His impact was evident immediately as he scored 19 points, but more importantly, he settled the team down and got them going in the right direction. Very poised and skilled lefty floor general.
Brady Bowers Brady Bowers 6'1" | PG Rock Bridge | 2023 State MO 6’1 Missouri Elite: Talented guard who scored 20 points in a victory over OZ Elite. He is a plus shooter from 3-point range, but his overall floor game is nice. He facilities well and he can really feed the low post, which is kind of a lost art.
Max Templeman Max Templeman 5'10" | PG Carthage | 2023 MO 5’10 Victory Ministry: A savvy little point guard who plays with excellent pace and knows how to keep his teammates involved. He penetrates well and he can shoot the 3-pointer. I like the confidence he plays with.
Jacob Ryan 6’2 L.E.B Elite: A smooth lefty shooting guard who was getting buckets in a vey efficient manner. His shooting stroke from 3-point range was pure and his movements with and without the ball were very fluid. Not a lot of wasted motion.
