Colorado Hawks: The Hawks feature a load of players who played on their varsity teams, and many who made big impacts. It begins with great size up front in 7-footer Assane Diouf, who joined the Denver East program this season and played well before suffering a few minor injuries. He’s healthy and ready for his first grassroots season with the Hawks, who also have 6-7 Rock Canyon big Matt Wheelock to do damage down low. The Hawks have two great distributors who can run the offense in Regis Jesuit’s Payton Egloff and East’s Kwane Marble. Off the ball, the Hawks have Overland’s Stephen Hayes, Castle View’s Chase Hettinger and Regis Jesuit’s Jamil Safieddine and Levi Dombro who have all shown they can score the basketball and defend the perimeter. This team has options and, importantly, knows how to share the ball.
