November 2021 Standouts Part 2/3

<p>This is my in depth analysis on some of the recent studs who have put on big time performances over the first two weeks of the young high school season. Be on the lookout for them to help push their teams to the next level.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Jackson Peakes 2021 6’4 Guard St. Johns High School</p> <p>Peakes is the real deal, he can get buckets at all three levels on either side of the floor. He is dominant in the half court where he can pick his spots and work defenders in the pick and roll. He is patient and methodical when he has the basketball and always makes the right decisions. He is an effortless scorer who can throw it down on you, throw in floaters as you bump him off his spots in the paint or beat you with his set shot or shot off the dribble behind the arc. Look for him to have a major uptick in collegiate attention, he has all the tools to be a dominant combo guard at the next level.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="1047784" first="Ethan" last="Yancy"] 6’4 2021 Combo Guard Premier Academy </p> <p>Yancy is an impressively explosive athlete who is the complete definition of a combo guard. He is confident and savvy with the basketball, and has all the tools to create and set up his teammates. He is elite in the full court and loves to push the pace when the defense is on its heels. He has already had some big time games this November, recently putting up 31 against Nationwide Academy. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Tyler Jackson 2021 6’5 Forward Nederland High School</p> <p>Jackson is a lanky forward who seems to have a real nose for the ball. He has really long arms that allows him to finish well at the rim and defend shots on defense. During his last game, he ended up with 10 boards and 4 blocks to go along with 25 points. He plays with great energy and loves pushing the break after he collects rebounds. I would like to see him work on his ability to handle the ball and create for himself off a live dribble. </p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>[player_tooltip player_id="887051" first="Chris" last="Felix"] 2021 6’6 Wing Westbury Christian High School</p> <p>Felix is a strong wing who can put the ball on the floor, beat defenders off the dribble in the full or half court and lock up high level ball handlers all 94 feet. The recent commit to Air Force has had multiple games of 30 plus and is averaging fourteen rebounds a game. He is also an intelligent defender, he is great at getting into position to draw charges and block shots. His length combined with his strength and agility allows him to be a defensive force. I believe he will have major production at the next level.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
