Lucas is a left-handed sniper with a relentless motor, a fearless approach, and the kind of game that lights up every level of the floor. He’s the definition of a high-energy guard who defends with grit, moves without the ball, and rains threes like it’s second nature. He is a dynamic scorer who creates space with confidence; Lucas brings heat from deep, can beat defenders off the dribble, and finishes in traffic. His hustle never stops, and whether he’s locking up a guard or crashing the boards, he plays every possession like it’s the last. What separates Lucas is his combination of sharpshooting, defensive versatility, and a mindset built on resilience. He’s not afraid of contact, not rattled by pressure, and always focused on how he can help his team win.

This past season, Lucas averaged 7 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.2 steals per game while improvement of his ability to shooting over defenders. He’s now more comfortable letting it fly with a hand in his face, and he’s added better ball-handling and improved athleticism to his arsenal. His biggest offseason focus is finishing stronger through contact, particularly with his right hand, and expanding his post-game to add more versatility. Playing AAU for Minnesota Crossfire Ronning, he’s aiming for big things: averaging 15 points and 7 rebounds per game and walking away with at least one tournament championship. Lucas is currently nearing that goal, averaging 12 points

and 5 rebounds. His eyes are on the upcoming Sioux Falls Stomping Grounds tournament, where he plans to put his scoring and all-around play on full display.

Lucas is fired up for next season, where he’ll have the opportunity to lead, showcase his all-level scoring ability, and continue evolving into a complete player. When facing adversity, he tunes out the distractions and locks into what really matters: effort, execution, and the love of the game. The best advice he’s ever received is, " Play your game and hustle." That fuels his fire every time he steps on the court.

And through it all, Lucas stays grounded, giving all glory to God for the journey he’s on and the path that lies ahead.

I asses that Lucas’s smooth lefty jumper, high energy, and tough-nosed defense make him a valuable asset at the guard position. His versatility on both ends, combined with a strong work ethic, gives him the tools to impact the game even when the ball isn’t in his hands. As he sharpens his right hand and adds strength, his ceiling continues to rise.

Expect Lucas to make serious noise this AAU season and carry that momentum into his next high school campaign. With his scoring mindset, improved athleticism, and refusal to be outworked, he’s a name that college coaches should have on their radar now because his breakout is coming fast. Stay tuned.
