Trey Orcutt (Central City, 2020)
The 5-9 senior guard was the beneficiary of Nick Reid‘s big game, as he dished out 6 assists in the process, many of those coming on Reid buckets. He leads the Wildcats in assists on the year, and he had a nice game at the WFA Shootout.
Daquavion Walker (Waterloo West, 2020)
Walker is an incredibly important piece for the Wahawks, one of the quickest and shiftiest guards in the state. With his ability to get past defenders and into the paint, he’s able to set up his teammates for easy looks. He had 5 assists, 6 steals and 10 points in West’s blowout win.
Shane Neighbor (Alburnett, 2020)
A 6-2 forward, Neighbor does most of his offensive damage inside the paint, but he did a nice job finding open shooters for looks as well, either off of offensive rebounds and kicking it back out, or by recognizing the double and finding a shooter. He finished with 4 assists in addition to his 20 points and 5 rebounds.
Tyler Claiborne (St. James Academy KS, 2022)
A 6-3 lead guard, Claiborne sees the floor really well and has great size and length at the point. He keeps the ball moving on the offensive end, has the ability to get to the rim or shoot it and he puts his teammates in good positions.
Kenzie Reed (Kennedy, 2023)
The 5-10 freshman guard has been really solid this year for the Cougars, leading the team in assists and posting a 53-24 assist-to-turnover mark. He looks to attack the rim constantly, and he does a nice job finding cutting teammates or kicking it out to open shooters. He’s shifty and sees the floor really well, and is putting together a really good freshman season for Kennedy.
