Today we take a lot at some of the top uncommitted or unsigned senior point guards in the Kansas City area. These are players from both sides of the border. There are a handful of players we have not seen in person that are not included in this list, and a few others that we feel might be more suited for the 3 at the next level.
This list will be updated later in the season as new names emerge.
Francesco Badocchi, 6’7, 2017, Bishop Miege (Kan.)
Badocchi seems to just be scratching the surface of his abilities. He is a multi-skilled player with the potential to do a lot of different things for a college program. He could develop into a 3, a stretch 4 or could be a high level energy guy capable of blocking shots and cleaning up in the paint. He is comfortable in the high post or in the paint where high school teams struggle to match up with his size and athleticism.
Jack Boedeker, 6’9, 2017, St. Thomas Aquinas (Kan.)
Has all the tools to be an impact big man at the next level. At 6’9, 240-pounds, Boedeker has the size, but is also agile and has some skills, both on the baseline and on the perimeter. He also displays good big-man fundamentals, keeps the ball high, is strong with two hands and does a good job passing out of trouble.
Caden Mauck, 6’6, 2017, Blue Springs South (Mo.)
He’s going to be undersized at the next level, but Mauck could develop into a small school stretch 4. Has the ability to do a lot of different things, can handle it a little, play on the perimeter some, but also can get in the paint and mix it up.
Isaiah Sears, 6-7, 2017, Life Prep (Kan./Mo.)
Sears made the transition to Life Prep to improve his academic standing after a standout career at Lee’s Summit. He’s long and lanky and will need to get strong to excel at the next level. But he also could develop into a stretch 4 with the ability to play the pick-and-pop game.
Derrick Walker, 6-8, 2017, Sunrise (Kan./Mo.)
Originally a Kansas City Raytown native, Walker has really started to open eyes this season, drawing a lot of interest from high major programs and he recently drew offers from Georgia and Tennessee. He’s a big, physical kid that knows his role and plays well within the team concept.
