6’5” PF | Holt (MO) ’21 |
A feisty, powerful forward, Mclemore combines the best qualities of craft and size, of creativity and braun.
The outgoing senior had a stellar scoring performance against Oklahoma Chaos, netting x points off his mid-range and short-range games. Also a tenacious character, he rebounded competitively to achieve numerous put-backs. In fact, team cooperation and hustle were the overall themes of his performance in that match as he played within the continuity of the offense and handled all of the detailed responsibilities, such as setting screens, moving without the ball, defending and running down the floor in transition.
Jacobi Sebock | Oklahoma Chaos |
6’5” PF | Midwest City (OK) ’22 |
Seblock had an excellent defensive performance Saturday afternoon against St. Louis Cobras. The rim-protecting forward was, especially in the late game, instrumental in helping Chaos overcome the Missouri-based team with a twelve-deep rotation that included size and athleticism.
Though Sebock doesn’t usually end up atop the scoring margin, he certainly has been excellent in this weekend in keeping the interior protected and gathering rebounds, both of which were necessary in the Saturday afternoon game. He also put the icing on the cake for Chaos, scoring its final 6 team points in the final minute of the game.
Jayden Garison | Kansas Players |
6’2” G | Little River (KS) ’21 |
Garison used his slickness to attack the rim successfully on numerous occasions, while also maintaining a threat from 3-point range. The guard ensued on a personal run late in the first half that helped to put Kansas Players in a maintainable spot going into halftime.
Physically speaking, Garison is decently tall with some muscle mass and some sneaky acceleration to him — his woah-and-go pace allows him to beat defenders on the dribble and shake by helpers on his way to the rim.
Jabari Sanders | The Work Foundation |
5’9” PG | Perspective Calumet (IL) ’22 |
Sanders may have been the most dominant offensive player on the floor Saturday afternoon in a win against Kansas Players, not because he tallied the highest point total, but because he was so efficient.
A shifty guard with a devastating crossover, Sanders used his speed to beat defenders and get to the rim, where he showcased his finishing talents. In between his impressive scoring plays, Sanders displayed his vision for the floor with quick dots inside the perimeter to cutters and low post-men, each one of them precisely landing in the shooting pocket of its intended target with no disruption from the defense.
