Breakdown Fall League Top Performers Week 3

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 three below.

Dane Zimmer (Hopkins 2019)- The 6'7 big man is known for his consistent contributions among a talented lineup. This week against Lakeville North, Dane had his best performance that I have seen out of him to date. He was scoring in a variety of ways with layups off of cuts to the rim, put backs off of offensive rebounds, and knocking down a few threes. Dane also had a nice dunk in the first half after a nice cut inside. On defense Dane did a good job to slow down Tyler Wahl inside at times, an extremely difficult assignment.

Jaeden King (Cretin-Derham Hall 2019)- Jaeden King has continued his dominance as the go-to guy for Cretin-Derham Hall this fall season. He was his usual self from distance, knocking down a handfull of threes in a variety of different ways. Jaeden has also continued to show off his increased vertical by throwing down four dunks, including a windmill on the fast break. With his ability to score from anywhere on the court, combined with his length and athleticism, Jaeden has been looking like a guy who could average close to 25 ppg as a senior!

Kendall Brown (East Ridge 2021)- On a court full of talent, Kendall looked like the best player on the floor this weekend. The 6'7 nationally point guard took over offensively, scoring in a variety of ways. He was hitting his jump shot as well as showing off his explosiveness in finishing around the rim. With his newly improved skillset and athleticism, don't be surprised if he makes it three East Ridge players averaging near 20 ppg this year.

Dawson Garcia (Prior Lake 2020)- Faced with a tough matchup against Dain Dainja and Detavius Frierson, the versatile power forward still got buckets against Park Center. Dawson had the ability to stretch the floor and knock down three's as a 6'10-11 forward, while also getting it done inside and off the dribble. Dawson was a major threat on both ends of the court with his combination of length, athleticism, and perimeter skills.

Dain Dainja (Park Center 2020)- Faced with playing against Prior Lake's twin towers and five star forward Matthew Hurt, Dain continued his strong fall play. His ability to score in the low post against size is nearly unstoppable without bringing in a double team. He also showed off the ability to create his own shot off the dribble from the perimeter, with handles extremely rare in someone his size. Dain is one of the most unique forward prospects in the country, and he showed no problem excelling against multiple division one offered players.
