Continue ReadingThe Prep Hoops Circuit’s Rumble In The Rapids in Grand Rapids had many players that left lasting impressions on coaches and scouts. This is Part 3 of our look at some of those players that had impressive weekends.
* This is NOT a best of or an all inclusive list. This is from what I saw and was aware of.
Jimmy Arentz (EBA Ice 2022)
Arentz is a talented guard that can stalk the 3 point line and make his opponent pay. He had the look of a lights out shooter. Arentz had a game with 13 points on 3 triples.
Kendall Bentley Kendall Bentley 6'2" | SG River Rouge | 2024 State MI (Code 313 2024)
Bentley has a ton of upside as a prospect. He’s more athletic than most and his movement seems, at times, effortless. Bentley could have a very bright future in the game of basketball.
Marshaun Flakes Marshaun Flakes 6'2" | SG East Kentwood | 2023 State MI (B3 Athletics 2023)
Flakes is an aggressive downhill player on the offensive end. He’s proven all spring that he’s a scorer at and a bucket getter at hear. His development over the summer will be interesting to watch.
Ethan Ivan (H.I.T. 2022)
Ivan is a very intriguing prospect. He has excellent positional size and uses it to be a constant threat on the glass. Ivan had a very solid 19 point and 7 rebound game at Rumble In The Rapids.
Payton Kamin (Team Ten Jabari Parker 2024)
If there was an MVP of the event, Kamin would have to be at least in the mix, if not the winner. He averaged well above 20 points per game, including a shocking 61 point game.
Gaden Muxlow Gaden Muxlow 6'4" | CG Brown City | 2023 State MI (Michigan Cagers 2023)
I really like Muxlow and what he brings to the table. He has the strength and physicality to score down low, but he can also step out behind the arc and drill a three pointer.
Grant Pikkaart Grant Pikkaart 6'6" | SF Portage Central | 2022 State MI (MBA 2022 EYBL)
Pikkaart was very impressive at the Rumble In The Rapids. He stays pass ready in the lane, making it easier for his guards to hit him. He was a very high percentage finisher all weekend.
Mason Struck Mason Struck 6'6" | PF Chesaning | 2024 State MI (Tri-County Cobras 2024)
Struck took full advantage of this event. He’s a flat out gamer that coaches at the next level will be very interested in. Struck was a top notch post player at the event.
