Notebook: 2020’s at Metro Indy Fall League

<p>The high school season is coming up quick and like always, the Metro Indy Fall League is a great place to find out how some players and teams might sort out. Today, we have our look at some of the top players from the event as we take a dive into the 2020 prospects from this past Sunday.</p> <p><b>Tony Perkins - 6’4 SG 2020 - Lawrence North (IN)</b></p> <p>Tony just picked up his first high-major offer and followed that up with a stellar performance and energy that looked like he belonged. The best thing about Tony is that he always plays with the same energy and skill each game out.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>On Sunday, he looked better and more aggressive in every area.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>He was attacking the rim and finishing with authority.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>His jumper was on and while he does need to make it more of his game, it is still there. Maybe the best version of him that I have seen so far.</p> <p><b>Isaac Farah - 6’9 C 2020 - Fishers (IN)</b></p> <p>Isaac is a big, thick post player who just transferred from Cathedral (IN) to Fishers (IN).<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>He has taken some big steps in the last year and even just from the summer.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>He’s bigger, stronger, and more assertive in the post. He’s a capable shooter and a guy that can stretch the floor but his post game was what was impressive. He ran the floor well and had a couple plays at the rim.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Need to watch one more time but looks like he could be a breakout guy this winter.</p> <p><b>Rickie Wedlow - 6’0 PG 2020 - Mt. Vernon-Fortville (IN)</b></p> <p>Rickie is a solid combo guard who can shoot it pretty well.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>His jumper looks a bit better with a good release point right now.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>He has lightened up the frame and has a tick more speed to him.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Still tends to lead himself to shoot more than drive but does play with a little tempo so in the right system, he can be very effective. <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p><b>Victor Young - 6’2 SG 2020 - Muncie Central (IN)</b></p> <p>Victor had some big games, dropping 30 in the first game of the day.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>He has a really good motor and showed the same thing he has all year long, shooting, scoring, and some defense.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>He’s still much more of a driver, needing to maybe improve that jumper just a bit and be a little more aggressive looking to score, but his efficiency has always been pretty solid. <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p><b>Dylan Stafford - 6’3 SG 2020 - Muncie Central (IN)</b></p> <p>Dylan is a big time shooter and high-academic prospect who put up some numbers on the day. Had 45 in two games.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>His athleticism looks pretty good right now and has some really good touch on that jumper so if you leave him even remotely open, it is going in.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>He has the frame you want to see for this age with his height and weight being ready for the college level. <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p> <p><b>Elijah Yarber - 6’6 PF 2020 - Rochester (IN)</b></p> <p>Elijah is a mobile post player who seemed to make plays quite a bit.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>He had a really nice up-and-under that showed that athleticism a bit.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>He’s not going to be a big scoring threat but could see it drawn out more in him down the road.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Rebounding was solid as he can get to the ball pretty well.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Mixed it up with Curt Hopf and was able to match up with him down low decently well.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>He’s a bit better as a perimeter defender on a guy that likes to stay on the wing and shoot than a driver.</p> <p><b>Sean Barksdale - 6’3 SF 2020 - Hamilton Southeastern (IN)</b></p> <p>Sean is a physically built wing who was great on the boards and in the paint.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Slashed really well and can be kind of a pain to defend when he puts his head down.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>Had some real creativity in his game with a floater and a little right-handed runner across the lane.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>He’s a little undersized for his natural position but he has more strength than most and enough length to make up for it. Could be a dynamic player at the right level.</p>
