I went up to St. Cloud to watch Apple Valley vs. Osseo last night. Dustin Fronk was the best player on the court but I was intrigued by the match-up between Bertram and Osseo's Ian Theisen. I have seen Bertram a few times but never against someone his size.
Theisen had a couple nice drop step lay-ups and once or twice over powered Bertram but Bertram had some big rebounds down the stretch, a few nice baskets of his own, blocked and altered a lot of shots and made his free throws. The best part of his game was passing out of double teams which led to 3-4 layups for his teammates since Osseo was helping from the weakside block the entire night. Overall, I think Bertram outplayed Theisen, and his team got the win.
The more I see Bertram the more impressed I am. He seems to care a lot and works hard on both ends of the court. His age shows sometimes when he jumps early or late and at times he seems uncoordinated but I think that all comes with getting older and getting better use of his body. I like Bertram a lot, would like to see if he is 6'8, 6'9 or 6'10 right now though, its hard to tell. FWIW, he was about the same height as Theisen
