<p>Time for our annual Fall series “Best in State”.  In this we look each day at a different category and break down what players across the state are the best at that particular aspect of the game.  Today we examine the <strong>Best in State: 2021 3-Point Shooters Part 1</strong>!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Max Christie (Rolling Meadows)</strong></p> <p>Christie is the top prospect in the state and his ability to connect from distance is a big reason why.  Silky smooth perimeter jump shooter that has picture perfect mechanics.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Ahamad Bynum (Simeon)</strong></p> <p>Bynum is one of those players that can get really hot shooting it from three.  At times will force some, but he is more than capable of going on a run shooting the rock.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>John Poulakidas (Neuqua Valley)</strong></p> <p>Poulakidas has one of the sweetest strokes from three in the state.  The lefty is an absolute sniper from deep.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Louis Lesmond (Niles Notre Dame)</strong></p> <p>Lesmond is a high level shooter who comes from France.  This kid just makes shots as a spot up threat.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>James Dent (Springfield Southeast)</strong></p> <p>Dent was automatic all spring and summer on the PrepHoops Circuit.  Elite level three point shooter!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Jaiden Lee (Joliet West)</strong></p> <p>Lee is a projectable two guard that can really make shots from distance as shown with his play for the Illinois T-Wolves.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Ben Schwieger (Waubonsie Valley)</strong></p> <p>We have only had limited evals of this wing, but along with his bounce he has proven to be able to really shoot the ball.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Odin Lium (Oswego East)</strong></p> <p>Lium is a shooter with size that consistently knocks down shots from beyond the arc.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Amar Augillard (Zion Benton)</strong></p> <p>Augillard is primed for another productive junior season and a big reason for that is the growth he has made as a floor stretcher.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Blake Peters (Evanston)</strong></p> <p>Peters might be the best pure shooter in the state regardless of class.  He is absolutely lights out from beyond the arc as shown in the state tournament his first two years of high school.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Isaiah Stafford (Bolingbrook)</strong></p> <p>Stafford opened our eyes with what he can do from distance in Indianapolis.  He looked like baby Steph Curry that weekend with his shooting!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Luke Moustakas (Brother Rice)</strong></p> <p>Top floor spacing junior post in the state.  This Chicago Lockdown big man is an excellent pick and pop or spot up big man.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Tyler Van Eekeren (Benet)</strong></p> <p>The Benet small forward is a tough kid that can really shoot the basketball.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Cameron Mallory (Lincoln Way East)</strong></p> <p>Clean and fluid shooting game out of this junior wing.  Primed for a breakout season!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Tyler Johnson (DePaul Prep)</strong></p> <p>Johnson is a scorer that will emerge as a major threat this season for DePaul Prep and a big reason is how he hits threes.</p>
