Prep Hoops Kansas takes a look at the upcoming season in the Wichita City League. Wichita City League Bishop Carroll (18-7, 12-4), Wichita East (13-8, 12-4), Wichita Heights (16-6, 12-4), Kapaun Mt Carmel (8-13,6-10), Wichita North (0-22, 0-16), Wichita Northwest (7-15, 5-11), Wichita South (9-12,8-8), Wichita Southeast (21-4, 14-2), Wichita West (4-17, 3-13) Blake Danitscheck, 6’6, G/F, 2021, Kapaun Mt Carmel A knockdown shooter from mid range to behind the 3-point line, Danitscheck is a smart all-around performer who knows hot to score. He can be crafty handling the ball and to get my shot off with a defender in his face. His defense continues to improve, looking to contest shots inside and around the rim and along the perimeter. He also has a high basketball IQ and shows promise as a rebounder. David Duncan, 6’0, G/F, 2021, Northwest A combination player who can stretch the floor as a 3-point shooter then move inside and finish plays around the glass. He has the ability to play several positions and can do so well due to his offensive skill set. Although he makes his mark on offense, Duncan works hard on defense and keeps his opponents out of position. Daylan Jones, 6’5, G/F, 2021, East A combo guard who has the athleticism to make plays for himself and the handles to cross up defenders. Jones has an elite game and the size and footwork to turn some heads. He can defend positions across the boards and can block shots and force turnovers inside and on the perimeter. He’s nearly impossible to stop when he is in an offensive groove, looking for open teammates and paths to the rim. Enrique Lankford, 6’5, G/F, 2021, Bishop Carroll An impressive athlete who makes a statement when he attacks the rim, looking to bring down the goal and completely disrupt his opponent's flow of the game. He can shoot well from distance and has the bouncy game colleges often look for in a combination guard. Lankford can get to the hole but shows promising attributes as a defender and facilitator. Alex Littlejohn, 6’5, G/F, 2021, Bishop Carroll Straight off an impressive summer run which allowed Littlejohn to showcase his athleticism, ball handling and crafty nature on the offensive side of the floor. Littlejohn has raised expectations for those in the area. He has a great shot around the basket and can score through contact and connect from the free throw line. He runs the floor and takes advantage of his size and athleticism.
