PREVIEW: AVCTL Division 2 Underrated Prospects

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Prep Hoops Kansas takes a look at the upcoming season in the Arkansas Valley-Chisholm Trail Conference (AVCTL).</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /> </span><strong>AVCTL Division 2 Teams</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Andover (11-10, 5-7), Andover Central (22-3, 11-1), Arkansas City (14-7, 6-6), Eisenhower (14-8, 8-4), Goddard (3-19, 2-10), Maize South (16-6, 7-4), Valley Center (6-15, 2-10)</span></p> <p><b>Isaiah Maikori, 6’2, G, 2022, Andover </b><b>@isaiahmaikori</b></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Malkori averaged nearly eight points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.7 steals per game last season while shooting 50 percent from the field. Also a football standout, Malkori works hard at both ends of the floor and brings defensive versatility to the court.</span></p> <p><strong>Jack Taylor, 6’5, F, 2020, Andover</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Taylor averaged nearly seven points and 3.9 rebounds per game last season and is looking to take his game to new heights this season. He is at his best shooting from the outside and he made 29 3-pointers last season, but can also finish in the lane, works well off the ball and brings good size and length to the floor.</span></p> <p><b>Jamauri Jordan, 6’3, PF, 2020, Arkansas City</b></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With the graduation of Cevin Clark and xx, Jordan will be looking to take his game to new heights this season for the Bulldogs. Jordan is a strong, physical athlete who uses his size to his advantage. He is a strong rebounder, and led the team with nearly six rebounds per game while averaging nearly seven points per game last season. He did most of his offensive work around the basket and shot nearly 60 percent from the field as a junior.</span></p> <p><b>Ethan Stewart, 6’0, G, 2020, Eisenhower  </b></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the leagues top returning outside shooters, Stewart made a team-high 48 3-pointers last season while averaging nearly 10 points per game. Stewart has deep range and is comfortable out beyond the NBA line. He has a smooth repeatable shooting stroke, can work off screens and is his best as a catch-and-shoot player. Stewart also has a nice pull-up game in the mid-range off the dribble.</span></p> <p><b>Eli Isaacs, 6’1, G, 2022,  Valley Center</b></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Issacs was the Hornets third-leading scorer last season as he averaged 10.7 points per game, along with 3.0 rebounds and 3.2 assists. With the graduation of Tristin Driskall and the transfer of Myles Thompson, Isaacs will be counted on to put together a big season for Valley Center in 2019-20.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
