Nathan Dudokovich (Lakota West) 2023
Dudokovich was highlighted in my colleague Mike Roth’s Top Performers piece. Similar to Roth, I was impressed with Dudokovich’s shooting touch on the perimeter. The Lakota West standout has shown he can knock down shots in a variety of ways and was on full display again un Columbus. One question I’ve had on his game in the past is if he can do more than just shoot. Sunday he proved he could. Put the ball on the floor and showed he could get by slower defenders and showed good elevation attacking the rim. Defended well contesting shooters on the perimeter.
Terrance Pankey (Ursuline) 2023
Pankey was in my opinion the best performance of the Expo. The 6-foot-0 Ursuline guard utilized his athleticism and motor to simply dominate against the opposing guards. Quick hands on the defensive end and created opportunities for himself by creating steals. Hustles on both ends of the floor. Combine the speed with the drive he has and it’s simply hard to defend Pankey. Only 6-0 and he’s grabbing offensive rebounds over taller defenders.
Wes Enis Wes Enis 6'2" | SG Miami East | 2024 OH (Miami East) 2024
Enis was one of the most impressive 2024s I watched during the weekend as he showed the most hustle than anyone else in the games. Looks like a DL from the football field with his muscular build. Not afraid to jump on the floor after loose balls. Very strong presence on the glass and forces defenders to put a body on him. Looks more physically strong than older players he was facing. High ceiling for Enis down the road.
Dayjuan Anderson (Ponitz) 2023
Anderson is a player I’ve seen many times being a Dayton player, but Sunday was arguably the best I’ve seen the Ponitz junior in his young career. The 6-foot-2 guard has been a shooter since I’ve first seen him, but showed his explosiveness on Sunday blowing by defenders with ease. Shifty around the rim and found the lane over and over. Great scoring threat.
Troy Scowden Troy Scowden 6'8" | C Buckeye Valley | 2022 State OH (Buckeye Valley) 2022
Scowden is a name we’ve followed since his freshman year at Buckeye Valley. Now a senior, Scowden has added to his frame and looks more like a PF than before. The 6-foot-8 senior was excellent in pick-and-roll. Patient on the screen and sealed the screened guy off to open himself up for layups. Really made all his points happen on the blocks. Good body control and moved block to block able to finish on either side. Scowden played exceptionally well against Batavia’s Mason Weisbrodt Mason Weisbrodt 6'8" | C Batavia | 2022 State OH on the low post and showed he could play against bigger defenders.
