Continue ReadingSam Rallis Sam Rallis 6'1" | PF St. Albert | 2021 State IA | PF | St. Albert
A highly efficient, undersized forward who averaged 15.4 points on 71% shooting. He has good awareness on the defensive end and great hands. He runs the floor well, gets early position and rebounds at a high level, especially on the offensive end.
Leyton Nelson Leyton Nelson 6'4" | PF Tri-Center | 2021 State IA | PF | Tri-Center
An active big man who is an efficient scorer around the rim, Nelson averaged 17.8 points on 64.5% shooting. He’s a solid free throw shooter, so some expanded range and face-up abilities are possible.
Brady Kauzlarich Brady Kauzlarich 5'11" | CG Centerville | 2021 State IA | CG | Centerville
A well-built guard with a good feel for the game and ability to score from all three levels. He can also impact the game on the defensive end with good hands and length.
Layne Pryor Layne Pryor 6'3" | PF Woodbine | 2021 State IA | PF | Woodbine
An athletic 6-3 forward, Pryor missed most of the season with an injury, but was extremely productive as a sophomore, averaging over 18 points a game. He can score from anywhere and handles it well.
Victor Balderas Victor Balderas 6'2" | PF Meskwaki Settlement | 2021 State IA | PF | Meskwaki Settlement
An undersized forward, Balderas is an efficient scorer around the rim who shot 53% from the floor and averaged 14.4 points a game. He rebounds well on both ends of the floor.
Carson Brown Carson Brown 6'0" | SF Moravia | 2021 State IA | SF | Moravia
He had a big scoring year for Moravia, averaging 17.5 points with 49-44-66 splits. He also led the team in rebounding and assists, but needs to clean up the turnovers a bit.
Eli Hibma Eli Hibma 6'3" | SF Sioux Center | 2021 State IA | SF | Sioux Center
A do-it-all wing who can score from all three levels and contribute on the glass. He’s also a capable defender on the perimeter.
Cale Leever Cale Leever 5'9" | SG Ankeny Christian Academy | 2021 State IA | SG | Ankeny Christian Academy
A small scoring guard, Leever averaged 13 points with 50-39-73 splits. He’s able to get to the rim and has good hands on defense. At just 5-9, size will be a question, but he’s a capable scoring threat who also handles it fairly well.
Trey Oehlertz Trey Oehlertz 5'11" | SG Pocahontas Area | 2021 State IA | SG | Pocahontas Area
Oehlertz led the Indians in scoring and rebounding, and is capable of scoring from all three levels. He really needs to improve from the free throw line (45.7%), and if he does that, he can add another 3-4 points a game to his averages.
Carson Shive Carson Shive 6'0" | SG Solon | 2021 State IA | SG | Solon
Shive is a capable 3-point shooter but is at his best when he’s attacking the rim. He led the Spartans in free throw attempts and contributes on the glass as well.
Conner Piehl Conner Piehl 5'11" | PG Tripoli | 2021 State IA | PG | Tripoli
Piehl is a scoring guard who can really fill it up, but he struggled with turnovers. He could become a really productive player with some better efficiency.
Mason Merfeld Mason Merfeld 5'9" | PG Southeast Warren | 2021 State IA | PG | Southeast Warren
Averaged 14.7 points to lead Southeast Warren. He can score from all three levels, and he could get up into the 20+ points a game range next year if he can take some better care of the ball and improve his free throw shooting.
