Here’s a look at some of the top 15U ball handlers in KC last weekend (in alphabetical order):
Will Bronson, 6-foot-6 post, Dallas Showtyme Rise, Jesuit Prep:
Bronson plays with a up-tempo, athletic group, but he keeps up by running the floor. He chases down a lot of misses and makes himself available on the break. He anchors the back of the Dallas defense, blocking a lot of shots and intimidating drivers. He has good hands and passes well, in addition to making some nice post moves.
Clark Easley, 6-foot-6 post, Big 3 Basketball, Schaumburg:
The Illinois big man has good hands to catch and score in the lane. He is tough and doesn’t back down from the fray and goes after rebounds in heavy traffic. He has long reach and fights for every ball in the air. He showed some good moves in the post, and scored on follows.
Nick Feather, 6-foot-7 post, Illinois HoopStars – Ohanson, Normal:
Feather is a big man with long arms and a lot of power in his broad frame. He has great hands and nice post moves. He has a smooth turnaround jumper and a soft touch. In traffic, he can power through for “and 1’s” and draw a lot of fouls. He also showed the ability to catch the ball on the move and get off a shot.
Daniel Mitchell, 6-foot-7 post, South Dakota Attack, Gregory:
Guys the size of Mitchell don’t often find themselves in someone else’s shadow, but Mitchell can be a bit overshadowed by his enormous teammate JT Rock. But Mitchell should not be overlooked in the least. He is a high-energy, athletic big man who can take his game out to the perimeter. He can run the floor, and play forward alongside Rock. Mitchell shows off great power in the lane and his relentlessness overwhelms opponents.
JT Rock, 6-foot-11 post, South Dakota Attack, Lincoln HS (pictured):
The biggest player in Kansas City, Rock doesn’t stand out just because of his height. He moves well for a player of his size, and has a beautifully soft touch on his shot. He has great fundamentals in the post and doesn’t get greedy. He makes good choices and goes for the goal at the right times.
