Top 100 Prospects
PG Chris Roberts (Morgan Park)
Roberts is a speedy point guard that can flat out get to the rim. Best in the open floor using his speed which is about as good as anyone in the class.
SF Landon Wolfe (Effingham)
Wolfe is a coveted D2 prospect with his ability to shoot the ball off movement. Strong wing that rebounds and consistently produces.
PG Trey Boston (Downers Grove North)
Boston has several JUCOs pursuing him and it is easy to see why. He is a microwave scorer that gets buckets in a hurry especially from three.
PF Chris White (Marian Catholic)
White is among the top uncommitted posts in the class. Strong rebounder that has improved his offensive game back to the basket as well as knocking down face up jumpers.
SG Julian Barr (Lincoln Way East)
Barr is an underrated two guard that can really shoot the basketball. Lit up the nets last summer with Team RWA and continues to impress.
SF Maurion Scott (Homewood Flossmoor)
Scott is a long and lanky wing with size. Presents offensive versatility with his athleticism and skill set.
SG Justin Harmon (Curie)
Harmon came on strong as a senior. Athletic wing is a force in transition, quick to the glass, and has improved as a shooter.
SG Justin Eagins (Downers Grove South)
Elite perimeter shooting threat! The 6’2” two guard is lethal with his shooting off the catch.
SG LJ Johnson (Kenwood)
Johnson is a strong and physical slashing guard. Brings a lot of intensity to the table on both ends of the floor.
PF Dylan West (Hillcrest)
West is a low post presence who boards at a high level and finishes around the hoop with efficiency.
PG Trevon Hamilton (Curie)
Hamilton was the leader at the point for a fantastic Curie squad this year. The high IQ guard makes others better and has a knack for making clutch plays.
PG Jaheim Holden (Evanston)
Holden is a quick twitched lefty point guard that was outstanding at the state finals. Makes plays in the lane against bigger opponents and gets his teammates the ball in positions to succeed.
SG Latik Murphy (Morton)
Murphy knows how to put the ball in the hoop. Powerful and athletic scoring wing with upside.
SF Cortez Mosley (Peoria Richwoods)
This long and lanky wing is most likely headed for a JUCO program. With his potential as a two way wing he will be an impact player at that level.
G Dashon Enoch (OPRF)
Enoch is a big and physical combo guard that can play both on and off the ball. Best when he gets going downhill using his strength in traffic.
SF Sha’Den Clanton (Rockford East)
Clanton is a super long and rangy wing that has improved his ball skills. Plus defender and rebounds well from the wing.
SF Demetrius Douglas (North Lawndale)
Douglas is a name that emerged last summer on the circuit with Team Rose. Good size and developmental potential at the next level.
PG Nate Duckworth (Bloomington)
Duckworth is a tough and gritty leader. Shot maker that stretches the floor with his shooting from three.
F Keenan Jones (Whitney Young)
Jones is a versatile forward who can play either spot. Threat as a catch and shoot guy and makes plays in the open floor.
SG CJ Benton (De La Salle)
Benton flew a bit under the radar after not playing AAU, but he reestablished his stock with a strong senior campaign with his scoring ability from the perimeter.
PF Aly Keys (Mascoutah)
Keys moved to the metro east as a senior and emerged as an intriguing prospect with his physical tools and skill set. Tons of potential here!
