Continue ReadingThe nation’s largest live period event during the second NCAA live session was Prep Hoops Live across the Kansas City and Lawrence area. Here we examine the wings that stood out most to us in Prep Hoops Live: Scotty B’s Top Wings Pt 2!
Blake Wilson (Ball4Lyfe 17U)
Wilson was absolutely fantastic for Ball4Lyfe in Lawrence. The 6’5” shooting guard has a strong frame and long arms. The physical profile is super impressive and then against Fury he went off with his perimeter shot making draining threes over and over again. Also is impactful on the defensive end with his anticipation and ability to cover a lot of ground both on the perimeter and in the paint.
Kyle McNeal (Ball4Lyfe 17U)
Scoring two guard that looks the part. The 2023 guard is a flat out bucket. He nailed an array of mid-range shots along with pull up threes. He has had a breakout spring for the Florida squad and is primed to explode even more in July.
Levi Birkholz (Wisconsin Crusaders 17U)
Tough! That’s how I would describe this Crusaders wing in one word. He is relentless getting in the paint where he finishes with his strength along with spinning layups. Acrobatic conversions using his body control at the rim. Posts up weaker wings and pounds them into the basket for scores. Also is a solid shooter with a clean stroke. Mid-majors should invest some time here as he is a winner!
Ethan Heck (Wisconsin Crusaders 17U)
Heck was outstanding in our first look at the Crusaders on the weekend. Good sized wing that can really shoot the rock. Hit four of them in their game against the Barnstormers. Plus shot maker especially off the catch that we can see as a low-major prospect.
Xavier Sulaiman (Hoops4Health 17U)
Sulaiman continues to produce game in and game out this spring for Hoops4Health. The Marist guard can really get buckets. Connected on the long ball at a nice rate and also was aggressive taking it to the cup for athletic and-1 finishes.
Jamaria Clark (OWE 17U)
What a performance to close out the event for Clark. The Louisiana shooting guard went for 29 points hitting pull up threes like they were going out of style. Mixed in some very difficult layups in the paint especially pushing in the transition game. Was fearless as a scorer and should be looked at by low-majors.
Myles Adams (Minnesota Select 17U)
Adams is a wing that has quality size and projectability. He was at his best in the open floor as a scorer. Very good rebounder especially with his activity on the offensive glass for put backs.
Ryan Rivera (Florida Suns 17U)
Rivera had a huge performance against the Illinois Bears on Sunday. Lefty two guard is a slick scorer that used his handles to get where he wanted over and over again. Hit several three with his quick release and flick of his wrist.
Damani Barley (NEBC 17U)
Long and lanky small forward from the northeast that was feeling it from distance in their last game of the weekend. Feathery touch from the outside with a free and easy release. Hit five threes making it look easy. Good offensive rebounder and has the tools to be a quality defender.
Devonte Reed (NEBC 17U)
Reed is a 2024 prospect that played up on the 17U level. Another projectable wing with length that rebounds very well and put his head down going to the rim both in the half court and transition. Attacked the offensive glass for put backs and tip dunks.
