Breakdown Fall League Top Performers Week 1

Every week I'll be recognizing some of the top performers that I was able to watch at the Breakdown Sports Fall League. A lot of the top schools and players participate, making it one of the top fall leagues in the Midwest! Check out some of the players who played well in week one below.

Jaeden King (Cretin-Derham Hall)- The 6'5 Western Illinois commit came ready to play versus one of the top teams in the state in Eden Prairie. He started off with a few buckets and an assist to force an early timeout, and kept that pressure on the whole game. Since last season he has gotten even more athletic, with a noticeably improved vertical. He used this to throw down a couple of huge dunks on his way to a win over Eden Prairie.

Andy Stafford (Hopkins)- The new transfer to Hopkins is already making his presence felt on his new team, as he had a strong offensive outing against East Ridge. He had a few nice reverse layups and a dunk to cap off the game. His off-ball movement created a lot of good looks for him. He helped lead Hopkins to a win over highly talented East Ridge.

Kerwin Walton (Hopkins)- Kerwin comes back for his junior season a more complete and aggressive player. With his team losing three starters, Kerwin was looking for his shot more than I had seen him do last season. He is more than just a catch and shoot player, Kerwin showed the ability to create his shot off the dribble and get the rack as well. His shot wasn't falling much in the first half, but he took over in the second to help his team get the win over East Ridge.

Tyree Ihenacho (Prior Lake)- More of an under the radar player in Minnesota, Tyree proved to be a very productive wing for Prior Lake. He excelled at slashing to the rim off the dribble, and with some off ball cuts that got him some easy looks to score. His speed and athleticism is a good compliment to the size that Prior Lake brings to the post. He capped off the day with a posterizing dunk that I'm sure many have seen on social media already.

Detavius Frierson (Park Center)- I knew that Detavius could be in for a productive season after seeing some action off the bench last year, but he had a huge impact against Wayzata. His athleticism combined with Park Center's ability to create turnovers will be special to watch this year. He had a handful of breakaway dunks in the second half, and was a dangerous weapon among an already talented team.
