#6 Darnell Toney: Road To Greatness 15u- Shooting Guard

Darnell is a great scorer! He always found ways to free himself for open looks at the basket. Whether it was using screens or dribble moves, Darnell excelled at gaining the space he needed to be an effective scorer. He's a good ball handler who successfully beat his opponent to the basket on numerous occasions. During the match-up against Badger City Ballers Elite 15u, Darnell was able to knock down three shots from beyond the arc. He also showed the ability to score from mid-range. Darnell is an excellent rebounder from the guard position. He often attacked the glass and made plays around the basket. Darnell was fearless when he battled opposing players for rebounds. He's an excellent on-ball defender who forced multiple turnovers with quick hands and great foot speed. As I said, he's a great scorer who does it from every level of the court. I expect him to be even better in the coming years. Keep it up Darnell!!

#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.

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.
