Rankings Regardless of Class: 21-25

<p><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12pt">Over the last month the rankings for the classes of 2016, 2017, and 2018 have each been updated after their play this summer.  Here we look at a cross class reference point to see how they stack up against each other in our “Overall Prospect Rankings.”  This is a look at prospects #21 - #25.</span></span></p><h2>#21 PF Messiah Jones (Simeon _ 2018)</h2><p><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12pt">No 2018 post impressed us more on the circuit this spring and summer than the Wolverines sophomore.  Jones is a long and rangy 6’5” power forward that should continue to grow.  He protects the rim tremendously well on the defensive end, snatches boards, and flashes an emerging post game.</span></span></p> <h2>#22 SG Jamal Nixon (Fenwick _ 2017)</h2><p><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12pt">Nixon is a tough and physical 6’4” wing that’s calling card is his versatility.  He does all the little things well being a plus rebounder and passer for a wing.  Scores best attacking and getting inside the paint.  Big year for the junior!</span></span></p> <h2>#23 SF Trevian Bell (Joliet West _ 2017)</h2><p><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12pt">Bell is program mates with Nixon on the Illinois Wolves during the summer.  What Bell brings to the table is a diverse offensive game that allows him to score in a variety of ways and put multiple buckets together in a hurry.  He is a tough rebounder and should put up monster numbers this season.</span></span></p> <h2>#24 PF Cameron Krutwig (Jacobs _ 2017)</h2><p><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12pt">Krutwig is a skilled post that stood out with Young Legends on the travel team circuit.  He is a fundamentally sound back to the basket post that also passes it well for his position.</span></span></p> <h2>#25 SF Nana Akenten (Bolingbrook _ 2017)</h2><p><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12pt">The run on 2017 prospects continues with Akenten.  This Bolingbrook standout exploded with Hoopers Basketball Club in the spring and summer.  At 6’6” he has freakish athleticism and a game that continues to develop.  Good form on jumper and has a chance to be an elite defender.</span></span></p>
