#27 Dylan Scott: Jr Raptors 13u- Shooting Guard

 Dylan is a tough player who stayed in “attack mode” throughout the game. He was great at keeping pressure on opposing defenses. This young man never stopped going at his opponent. Dylan always seemed to make the right plays for the Jr Raptors team. Whether it was scoring, rebounding or defending, Dylan was always in the right place, at the right time. He was great at getting into the paint and scoring. As I said, he’s a tough player who excelled at going at the opposition. He’s a great shooter from mid or long range. During the game, I watched him knock down two three-pointers despite having a hand in his face. The shots he scored from mid-range were a host of floaters and pull-up jump-shots. On defense, Dylan forced multiple steals with excellent on-ball pressure. Dylan is a hard-nosed player who is great on both sides of the ball. He will easily transition into a top two-way player in the coming years.

#42 Nolan Merrill: West Irving Gold 13u- Power Forward

Image
  I was thoroughly impressed by Nolan's performance Saturday morning.  The big man showed great passing skills! Whenever he received the ball in the post, his passes led to easy scores by his teammates. He was able to hit West Irving Gold 13u players cutting to the basket or along the perimeter. Nolan was a dominant force in the paint. He often scored around the basket and showed a great shooting touch on the perimeter. In the match-up against Team 1848 14u, he knocked down multiple jump-shots from mid-range and beyond the three-point line. I was shocked when Nolan put the ball on the floor and drove the ball to the rim for a tough lay-up. I did not expect the big guy to be so skilled and agile. Well, I guess I was wrong. I loved the energy he showed on the basketball court. Defensively, Nolan was great at protecting the paint. He blocked a shot and made scoring difficult for opposing players. Nolan is a skilled big man who will continue to flourish with any team he plays wit...

#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.

#55 Aaden Rogers: Team ABC Young Lions Black 12u- Power Forward

Image
  Aaden was a monster in the paint Saturday morning. He dominated smaller defenders by using his height and length to effectively score on offense. The majority of his points were scored by grabbing offensive rebounds or cleaning up missed shots by his teammates. Aaden is a fundamentally sound player who was great at setting screens, passing and making all the type of plays that help the team win. His screens were effective enough to free up other ABC Young Lions Black players for high percentage shots. In some instances, Aaden showed the ability to score on pick and roll plays. He’s an excellent rebounder who dominated the glass on both ends of the court. Defensively, he was a serious presence in the paint. He blocked multiple shots and contested every player who attempted to score. When Aaden develops more as an offensive player, he could be unstoppable. I look forward to seeing how much he progresses in the coming years.
