Lafayette | 2023
State
MO
(Hardwood Elite): A 6’7″ small forward from Lafayette who is a very intriguing prospect with his combination of size, versatility and an all-around skill set. He has the ability to score in the lane whether he’s attacking on the dribble, posting up up hitting the offensive boards. He has good athleticism and good shooting range from 3-point territory. He can also play the role of a facilitator with his ball handling and playmaking skills on the perimeter.

Troy Buchanan | 2023
State
MO
(Mo Thunder): The 6’2″ shooting guard from Troy helped lead the Thunder to the championship of the 17U division. He scored 23 points in the championship game against Team Ramey. He got hot from 3-point range early in the second half to break help break open a close game at halftime. He can shoot it off the catch and he moves well coming off screens to get himself open. He also does a nice job of creating off the dribble, which adds to his offensive game.

Kirkwood | 2023
State
MO
(Team Ramey): A 6’4″ guard from Kirkwood who is a walking bucket when he has his game going. He led Team Ramey to the 17U championship game with his scoring prowess. He’s smooth off the dribble as he moves much faster as he seems to be going; especially when he’s getting to the basket on a straight-line drive. He also creates well and will knock down the perimeter jumper. He stays under control on offense and he makes his moves with purpose without a lot of wasted motion.

Battle | 2023
State
MO
(COMO-TNT): A 6’4″ combo forward from Battle who was very productive in the games that I watched him. He is a tough matchup for defenders with his physical strength and skills. He checks in about 215-pounds and he uses it well to buffalo his way into the lane for buckets and rebounds. He can also play the finesse game with his ball handling and soft shooting touch around the basket.
player_tooltip player_id=”1440457″ first=”Charles” last=”Nelson”] (St Louis Cobras ANM): The 6’0″ combo guard from Miller Career Acdemy made his debut with the Cobras for the tournament and he made an immediate impact. He’s an impressive offensive talent with the ability to slice through traffic in the lane for buckets and pull up for 3-pointers in the transition game. He has good speed and quickness, yet he plays the game at his own pace. He also has a nice mid-range jumper in the lane where he gets very good elevation.
