DJ Steward (Whitney Young)
The standout Whitney Young guard made a statement with his shooting all spring and summer hitting at a 40% clip from three.
Adam Miller (Morgan Park)
Miller can be a bit streaky at times with his long ball, but when he is on it is epic like the show we saw him put on in Vegas where he hit 13 triples.
Connor Kochera (St. Viator)
Kochera works great around screens pulling up off the bounce to drill the three point shot. Big fan of his upside as a shooter.
Jayden Johnson (Batavia)
Maybe the best moving without the ball in the class. He is a sharp shooter that is one of the premier marksmen in the class.
Dante Maddox (Bloom)
The ultimate microwave scorer! Maddox can really score in a hurry with his lethal three point game.
Destin Whitaker (Romeoville)
Whitaker is an athletic wing that makes his money spotting up for threes on the wings and corners.
Ryan Isaacson (Hinsdale Central)
Best shooting big in the class. Isaacson spaces the floor better than anyone in the pick and pop game.
Connor Dillon (Peoria Notre Dame)
Athletic combo guard that has a sweet lefty stroke. Let’s it fly from deep with confidence.
Beau Frericks (Cary Grove)
Frericks was absolutely lights out from three this spring/summer with Team RWA on the PrepHoops Circuit! Maybe the most consistent shooter we saw all summer.
Carson Parker (Nashville)
Parker is a smooth two guard that has strength and a feathery jump shot!
Jayson Kent (Oak Forest)
Kent is a rangy two guard that emerged this summer as one of the best shooters in the class from three.
Josh Holmes (De La Salle)
Holmes has been a known name for a while as a sharp shooter. Quick release and finds spots to get his shot off.
Taaj Davis (Aurora Christian)
Lefty combo guard that is very comfortable pulling up and hitting threes off the catch.
Paul Zilinskas (Riverside Brookfield)
Feathery jump shot from this Riverside Brookfield wing. Moves well without the ball and has a clean shot.
Matthew Ambrose (Stevenson)
Ambrose can really let it fly! High level shot maker that has a feel for shooting both off the catch and spotting up.
Nate Shockey (York)
Shockey is a point guard, but his biggest strength as a player is his perimeter shooting.
Connor Webb (Lisle)
Webb improved so much as a shooter over the last few years. Excellent spot up threat that stretches the floor.
Tagen Pearson (Nazareth)
Pearson can drill three pointers creating his own shot or off the catch from others.
Trey Davis (St. Laurence)
Lefty with a quick trigger from three. Showed flashes last high school season with his shot.
Jack Kahoun (Oswego)
Kahoun is a prospect that shined with his three point shooting during his junior season.
Lance Mosley (DePaul Prep)
Two guard with an excellent three point shot. Plays well off a pass first point guard.
Billy Durkin (Hinsdale South)
Durkin is a prospect that brings toughness and perimeter shot making to the table.
