Kaeden Bonner Kaeden Bonner 6'1" | SG Seaman | 2023 State KS | 2023 | Kansas Hoggs
Let me tell you to start this off, this kid can flat out hoop. I loved how smooth his game is. He had some really nice passes to team mates on the drive, in the paint, and some real nice flashy passes. Bonner shot the three ball so well too all tournament. He has very ideal speed with and without the ball. His hands were active on defense, getting some tipped passes and some steals. To top it all off he got his first dunk this weekend too with a nice one hand slam. Overall very athletic player with a lot to show.
Calvin Ross | 2023 | LHBA
Ross showed out to be a very good facilitator. He’s a really skilled passer and created a lot of opportunities for his teammates. Calvin had great timing on his feeds to teammates, always hitting them on the cut or up the court, setting them up for a bucket. He has a nice handle and was patient on offense, never rushing the possession. Has a real high basketball iq.
Christian Jones | 2024 | Texas Monarchs 9th
Jones proved to be a nice three level scorer. He shot the three ball exceedingly well though. He has great vision on the downhill drive, giving the ball up to his teammates at the right time. The 2024 guard took a lot of high percentage shots and didn’t force much. Very shifty as well, defenders had a hard time staying in front of him.
Bhan Buom Bhan Buom 6'5" | SF Wasatch Academy | 2024 NE | 2024 | Nebraska United 2024
Buom was a walking highlight reel. He threw down some mean dunks, on the fastbreak, or in traffic. Very long and lengthy guard, he is going to turn some heads this winter. He took his defenders off the drive, or with a nice pull back, would knock down the jumper. Sat in passing lanes and caused some havoc on the defensive side. Bhan has some ideal size and length for a guard.
Kendall Hinton | 2024 | Nebraska United 2024
Kendall proved again to be another dominate force in the paint. He’s got such a great build for a big and utilizes it so well for his age. He was rebounding on both ends of the floor well. The big thing on Hinton that I really like is his footwork in the paint. He’s got real quick feet and excels so well down low with the drop step or spin move and then the strong or weak side finish.
