Each grassroots season there are plenty of players who make a big name for themselves. Ones of the biggest in Wisconsin’s 2029 class doing just that this year was Liam Etter. While playing with the Wisconsin Dynasty, the 6’3” wing was one of the top players at the 15U level of the NY2LA Association.

“This season with Wisconsin Dynasty was an up and down roller coaster with us having good things at times playing really well together and sometimes we struggled as a team but all around it was a good season I enjoyed. I loved that Wisconsin Dynasty believed in me,” Etter said about his grassroots season over the spring and summer. Many aspects of the wings game were on display throughout the entire season, but this was especially true with his scoring ability. Not only was he one of the top scorers at the 15U level but also one of the top of the entire NY2LA Association. Over the course of the season, he had games of 39 points and 36 points. With his high-level scoring and versatility, this helped him be named a top performer at multiple tournaments including the NY2LA Grassroots Showcase and Summer Jam.

When asked about his game, Etter talked about his advanced offensive package of tools. “Three level scoring ability to shoot the three at a high percentage finish at the rim and shoot in the mid-range with the ability to score in tight coverages. While Etter did standout mainly with his scoring ability all season, he also showed a wide range of tools as well. This included also his defensive versatility being able to defend the ball while also playing big inside, rebound it extremely well on both ends of the floor, as well to being able to be a primary ball handler and create for others.

Along with his advanced and well-rounded game, there are still a few specific aspects Etter it looking to improve upon as he heads into his sophomore high school season at Lodi. “Parts of my game I need to improve are defensive rotation I struggled with reacting quick enough to cutters or help side defense with getting distracted but with time and practice I got way better at it by the end of the season where I had quicker reactions. Another part is just slowing down I play way too fast and unpaced sometimes where I become out of control so that will be something I will be working on this offseason.”

Now a sophomore, the wing will be one to track over the coming months and has shown the tools to be among Wisconsin’s top wings in his 2029 class.
