Jaylen Drane (Simeon)
Drane is the top guard in the sophomore class. A big reason for that is how well he handles it putting combination moves together for scores.
Ray’Sean Taylor (Collinsville)
Taylor is a scoring point guard that is dynamic with the ball in his hands scoring on drives to the hoop.
RJ Walker (Decatur Eisenhower)
Walker looked silky smooth in the open floor getting buckets in bunches.
Jeffery Oakley (Perspectives)
Oakley continues to see his stock rise every time he hits the floor. Super athletic wing that takes quality angles to the rim.
Trey Pettigrew (Fenwick)
Pettigrew was excellent in transition using his speed to get layups as well as win off the dribble.
Bryce Hopkins (Fenwick)
Hopkins is a big and physical forward that overpowers with strength, but also has some shake to his game as well.
Amar Augillard (Zion Benton)
Augillard is a big bodied forward that is a bully getting to the rim downhill with his superior strength.
Antoine Bloxton (Bogan)
Electric scorer off the bounce who has slick ball handling and an exciting flair to his game.
Cam Christie (Rolling Meadows)
Christie showed he could score in a variety of ways including putting it on the deck. Freshman is one to watch moving forward.
Nick Harrell (Brother Rice)
Long and lanky wing has a lot of projectability to his game. One of his biggest strengths right now is slashing in the open floor.
Taijon Barry (Eisenhower)
Barry is another lengthy forward that has upside that finishes with the ball in his hands in transition.
Darius Burford (Boligbrook)
Burford was a blur with the ball exploding past defenders consistently.
Kai Evans (Bolingbrook)
Evans has a strong body and loves to attack the rim with his strength and athleticism.
