#22 Xavier Lazio: P2V-13u- Shooting Guard

 


Xavier is a great two-way player. He gave maximum effort on both ends of the court. On offense, he handles the ball, attacks the paint and knocks down mid-range jump-shots. He also showed the capability of extending his range beyond the three-point line. There was a sequence in the game where Xavier beat his defender to the basket with a nice spin move. He was great at scoring tough baskets in the paint. Xavier’s an aggressive player who stayed in attack mode throughout the game. Defensively, he did a little of everything. Xavier played great man-to-man defense and forced numerous turnovers. His overall skills as a scorer and defender will take him far in the game of basketball.

#23 Wyatt Hanus: Team Herro National 13u- Shooting Guard

Image
Wyatt was the most complete player in his age group. He excelled at getting around defenders and making plays. Whether it was attacking the basket, knocking down threes or setting up teammates, Wyatt was a major problem for the opposition. He was great at finishing through contact and racking up three-point play opportunities. Wyatt’s a great free throw shooter who converted all his attempts. Rebounding the basketball was also a strength. He didn’t mind battling opposing players in the paint. His defensive boards often led to transition points for other Team Herro players. On one occasion, he was able to grab a rebound and take it coast-to coast for a lay-up. Defensively, he was great at timing the passes from opposing players. This led to multiple steals throughout the game. In my opinion, Wyatt is a young talent who could become an elite player in the coming years.

  I was thoroughly impressed with this young man Saturday morning. He’s already a great ball handler at such a young age. Ahmad literally got anywhere he wanted on the basketball court. He was great at scoring in the paint or dishing off assists to his teammates. Some of his passes were on the flashy side. Most led to easy scores for his teammates. He’s also an excellent shooter who can knock down mid-range shots or long distance three-pointers. Defensively, he excelled at pressuring opposing guards into turnovers. His quick hands allowed him to finish the game with multiple steals. Ahmad is already playing an exciting brand of basketball, imagine what he does when he gets older? Could be scary for the opposition.

  This young guy was all hustle and heart. Kamden gave maximum effort in every facet of the game, Whether it was scoring on offense, rebounding or playing defense, Kamden was always around the basketball. He was the tallest player on a team of small players. Kamden attacked the glass, scored in the paint and battled larger players for rebounds. Whenever 815 Certified had an opportunity to score in transition, Kamden effectively scored when he received the pass. He also showed he’s capable of making three-pointers. When he had an opportunity to take a three, he shot it with no hesitation. On defense, he blocked a shot and forced a turnover. The sky’s the limit for this young man. Kamden is a good player who has years to improve his game. I believe he will.
