Lucas Castle (Rolling Meadows – 2021)
Castle is a wing from the same school that top junior Max Christie attends. This powerfully built two guard opened our eyes with his play in the last game of the day with the way he shot it from three. Shot it with a lot of confidence every time he let it fly.
Sam Lewis (OPRF – 2023)
Lewis could be the next in a long line of talented OPRF wings over the last few years. Bouncy small forward with size and projectability on the perimeter. High upside as a two way player moving forward.
Suliman Agiste (Michelle Clark – 2022)
Legit size at probably about 6’8” out of this Chicago post with super long arms. Like what he brought to the table defensively and on the glass. You can tell he is just scratching the surface offensively with his quick moves on the block.
Khalil Ross (Lincoln Way East – 2023)
Like the upside that this 6’5” lefty small forward presented when we saw him at Top 250. Has projectable tools and athleticism.
Xavier Amos (Whitney Young – 2022)
In my first look at Amos I came away very impressed. He has all the physical tools you could as for of a young wing with height, length, and athleticism. Quickness around the hoop getting on the glass and scoring in the paint were his forte.
Brandon Keaton (Sandburg – 2020)
Really like the size here at 6’7” and once he adds strength he will be even better. Ran the floor with fluidity for a big man!
Logan Talmage (Evanston – 2021)
This strongly built 6’6” power forward burst on our radar with his skill on the block being able to score in the post and was solid on the glass.
Jordan Hill (Solorio – 2021)
Hill is a plus shooter from the guard spot that made an impression on us with the way he can knock down shots at a solid clip.
Gabe Madej (Fenwick – 2022)
Great size and mobility out of this 6’5” small forward. Showed he could handle it and get around his man winning off the dribble from the perimeter.
