Alan Hanna (Maize Eagles)- No stranger to the prep hoops circuit or any circuit by any means. Well known for his athleticism in any sport he plays, he made sure to put that on display here this weekend. Alan is an explosive athlete with how hard and fast he attacks the rim and his ability to rise no matter who is there is impressive. Even when Alan was on the bench, he was a vocal leader for his group on the defensive end helping his guys rotate defensively and staying involved. In one game, Alan started off hot by himself getting dunk and then hitting a off balance 3. He isn’t your typical high flyer that tries to use it strictly on the offensive end, he takes pride on the defensive end sprinting to help side and grabbing all the rebounds he possibly can.
Braylen Peters (Oklahoma JOC Elite)- Peters is an aggressive driver to the rim going either side and takes care of the ball doing so. While most players have a tendency to look for contact and throw the ball anywhere, Peters make sure he takes care of the ball and goes up strong to finish at the rim. Braylen plays strong, relentless and applies constant pressure to his opponents. Peters has shown he can shoot the 3 ball off the catch on a consistent basis. Peters does a good job of reading the game well for his JOC Elite team, from getting them into sets or making plays when the plays are dead, he will be good for years to come.
Kingston Selmon (Team Perry Ellis)- Kingston has a nice smooth game to him. He’s showed on multiple occasions he can score the ball and at a high clip when he’s getting to the rim. Loves to drive left and is a great finisher when attacking that way. Selmon is extremely dangerous when there is no gap help, making it very easy for him to get to his spot and score. What you have to love about Selmon game is his ability to handle pressure from the defense without getting rattled.
Blake Redeker (KS Olpe)- Blake is an excellent playmaker for his Olpe team with distributing the ball and getting everyone involved. Redeker is one of those special players that can go out of his way to set up his teammates. There were a few possessions where Blake would go up in the air looking for a lay up and then dump it off to his teammate standing next to the rim or a cutting teammate down the middle of the lane. Big times plays like that are unselfish and gets the crowd on their feet to make a big run.
Brayden Myovela (Maize Eagles)- Brayden is a young guard that is showcasing that he is right where he belongs. Brayden is talented enough to go create his own shot but always makes the right decisions for his team getting others involved and keeping himself as a decoy. When Myovela is aggressive, he’s attacking the rim and not settling. He goes up looking to score and if he doesn’t get that he gets to the free throw line. He has excellent body control and court vision causing this eagles team to be problem this upcoming season.
