Known and Unknowns: December Edition 2021’s Pt.1

<p>Here is a list of 5 Juniors that are making a point to be known this season. These 5 prospects have had a tremendous start to their Junior season and can play at the next level. College coaches should have these prospects on their radar.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Ja’Vier Francis</span> 6’7 C | Westbury Christian <a href="https://prephoops.com/texas/rankings/2021-rankings/"><span style="color: #ff6600;">PH</span><span style="color: #ffcc00;">TX</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">100</span></a> <span style="font-size: 8pt;">as seen in the picture</span></strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ja’Vier pronounced (Jay-V-Air). Has been the best big in the 2021 class from the Greater Houston Area. He is having a monstrous season as he holds don the interior defensively. He has had multiple Triple-Double’s on the season. His game offensively continues to grow. He is really solid on the low block and his hands get better each game. He is averaging 13.9 points per game, 10.3 rebounds per game, and 6.4 blocks per game on the season. </span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Shane Bell</span> 6’2 SG | Fort Bend Elkins HS</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Shane has shown everyone that he is a threat to score the ball from deep. His outside game allows him to beat his defender off the dribble as well. He is a strong guard that coaches should get to know. This is his second year as a Varsity player and has gone from a 3 points per game average last year to a 12 points per game average this year. </span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Noah Kon</span> 6’0 PG | Houston Christian <a href="https://prephoops.com/texas/rankings/2021-rankings/"><span style="color: #ff6600;">PH</span><span style="color: #ffcc00;">TX</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">100</span></a> </strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Noah is fun to watch as he plays with an extremely high motor and has that never back down attitude. He is a tough defender not just on the ball but as one who will block anything at the rim. The area of his game that has improved the most is his outside shooting. He is very athletic and is the leader of his squad. Noah is averaging 21 points per game on the season so far. </span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Wade Autenreith</span> 6’7 C | Spring HS</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Wade is a big whose mobility has increased greatly. It could be credited to playing on the 17U level last year on the Prep Hoops Circuit with FYN All-Stars. He works hard on the low and high post. He has a nice face-up game and plays solid with his back to the basket. He is averaging 9 points per game, pulling down 8 rebounds a game, and 1 block per game.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Brian Gordon</span> 5’11 PG | St. John’s </strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Brian is a tough lead guard that has a solid handle on the ball and creates for his teammates first. He can create for himself as well. Crafty with the ball in his hands. He has a high IQ offensively as well. He is the reason for his High School team's success this year for St. John’s as they are 15-5 overall on the season. </span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>For more information on any of these prospects from strengths, weakness, and grades contact me via twitter @GDayHoopScout</p>
