NW Live Summer Regional: Intriguing Big Men

<p>At the NW Live Summer Regional in Beaverton last weekend, there were a number of big men that made an impression on us. Here’s a quick look:</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1079542" first="Nathan" last="Senatra"], Oregon Basketball Club 17U (2022 Clackamas)</strong></p> <p>Senatra runs the floor well and showed nice post moves and a soft touch on his shot. At 6-foot-10 he lacks some weight now but appears to have the frame to put on muscle. An engaging interview, he is receiving D-II and D-III interest.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1079534" first="Tane" last="Prictor"], Oregon Prospects 2022 (2022 Mountain View)</strong></p> <p>Prictor is a mammoth of a young man at 6-foot-10 and 270 pounds, but he moves well both up and down the floor and laterally. He was a factor on the boards and got a number of put backs. Prictor has good hands and some basic post moves that were effective when he really got position down low.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="861088" first="Graham" last="Eikenberry"], Oregon Prospects 16U White (2023 Central Catholic)</strong></p> <p>Eikenberry continues to develop as a post player. He’s grown to 6-foot-9 and still has many of the fundamentals down, such as keeping the ball high after grabbing rebounds. He was a factor on the offensive boards and was effective with his post defense, especially vocally.</p> <p><strong>Chance Lavallee, Oregon Basketball Club 16U (2023 Glencoe)</strong></p> <p>While extremely thin, Lavallee is extremely long and already 6-foot-9 he may still be growing. His defense is ahead of his offense at this time, with his main post move a quick turnaround shot that has touch but sometimes may not be the best move. Very inexperienced, he’s still learning the game but has potential.</p> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="962733" first="Ty" last="May"], Oregon Basketball 16U Black (2023 Philomath)</strong></p> <p>May has a strong frame, is a solid athlete, and runs the floor well. He has a pretty good touch on his shot that extends beyond the three-point line. He is very active offensively and is working on improving shot selection.</p>
