Courvosier McCauley – 6’4 | SF | Indianapolis Manual
Voss has been one of the biggest offensive players this season in the entire state. He’s given the freedom at Manual to play an uptempo style and let it fly. That has helped as he has shot really well all season and is one of the best scorers, scoring almost 30 points a game. He loves to shoot the ball but he’s been fairly balanced in his shot selection. He’s a really fun player to watch. – 29.9 PPG – 65%
Keegan Fetters – 6’3 | SG | Lakewood Park
Fetters might play at a school most people couldn’t find on a map but he’s doing it in such impressive fashion that it is hard not to notice. With over 24 points per game, he’s going most of his work inside the three points line, taking advantage of his ability to shoot well from the charity stripe. The best thing, is that he doing all of this and shooting 69% from the field. – 24.0 PPG – 69%
Tanner Yeryar – 6’0 | PG | Shakamak
If you would have watched Yeryar a year ago, you wouldn’t have really cared too much as he was quite a bit shorter, however, he still scored the ball well. Now, he looks like a whole new person and is scoring it even better. The size has made him so difficult to stay in front of. His scoring totals are no joke and he’s done this to pretty much every team on their schedule so far. – 22.4 PPG – 46%
Ronny Williams – 5’9 | PG | Liberty Christian
Ronny doesn’t have a ton of talent around him so every once in awhile you will see him put up a ridiculous stat line, but even so, he’s developed into a really potent scorer in stretches. He’s so quick that he can create turnovers and turn those into points as well as light it up from behind the arc. Truth be told, if he had more talent on his team, he might actually score even more points. – 24.8 PPG – 53%
Zach Gunn – 6’7 | PF | Hamilton Southeastern
Zach is still on the board and has really refined his approach this season. Last year, he was a bit of a volume scorer. This year, he’s really turned that efficiency around and his attempts are down and scoring is still above 20 points per game. He’s also really gotten better playing on the interior for the first time since he was a freshman. One of the more varied scorers in the state. – 21.3 PPG – 56%
Maurice Knight – 6’4 | SF | Frankton
Knight was there a few years back when Frankton was really good. Then, he had to do it on his own for a couple years. Now, as a senior, he’s starting to get some help from the underclassmen and Maurice is putting up some big numbers and Frankton is back to winning a lot of games. Knight has a thin frame but he showed he is more than willing to attack the rim and his length comes in handy. – 21.1 PPG – 57%
Nike Sibande – 6’3 | SG | Crispus Attucks
Nike a year ago was built around his ability to shoot the ball. He was a problem because at 6’3, most of the guys he was matched up on couldn’t stop him any time he decided to rise up. Now, with him being more of a priority on the scouting report, you have seen him work a lot more in transition and off the bounce. He’s rounded out his offensive game and now is much more of a scorer than a shooter. – 23.6 PPG – 59%
Vincent Miranda – 6’0 | PG | NorthWood
Miranda has really been the guy in the South Bend area that has impressed the most this year. He’s just been focusing on basketball this year and it seems to be paying off as he has taken over and added a jump shot, propelling his scoring ability to over 20 points a game. Miranda is about as consistent as they come in terms of scoring, effort, and efficiency. Brings it every night. – 20.4 PPG
Sasha Stefanovic – 6’4 | SG | Crown Point
Sasha has been a guy on the rise for a little while now and even so, teams are still struggling to defend him. The big guard is scoring more than 20 points per game and is adding in more creativity in his scoring. He’s had stretches where he’s but just a shooter but his ability to score off the bounce and handle the ball has really taken him to the next level. – 20.2 PPG
Emmanuel Little – 6’6 | SF | North Central
Little has become one of the biggest risers in the state this season with the addition of his jumper. He was pretty good without it, scoring a ton on the low block off of rebounds and low post feeds. Now, though, he’s become near unstoppable as he’s locked in shooting the ball and putting up multiple games with more than 25 points and even grabbing double-digit rebounds. He’s now one of the best players in the state.
