Ashton Williamson Ashton Williamson 6'2" | PG Gary 21st Century | 2023 State #287 Nation IN – 6’2 SG – Gary 21st – Indy Heat EYBL 2023: Williamson is a quick guard that plays at such an elite level. Real quick and beats the defender so often with his first step off the dribble. Had a real good spring season but think he is going to take it to a whole new level during the summer period. Offers from high majors should start pouring in.
Myles Colvin Myles Colvin 6'5" | SG Heritage Christian | 2023 State #51 Nation IN – 6’5 SG – Heritage Christian – INB 2023 Elite: Colvin really took it to another level this past spring. Seemed like every weekend you were hearing about his performance and how good he looked. Did so well, even got an offer from Purdue already. Should have a ton of eyes on Colvin this summer from mid to high majors.
A.J. Lux A.J. Lux 6'3" | SG Crown Point | 2023 State IN – 6’4 PG – Crown Point – Indiana Game Select 2023: Lux is a taller lead guard that looked real impressive this spring. Was real balanced at scoring at all 3 levels and especially showed off his range from behind the arc. Lux just seems to get better and better. Don’t let his slimmer size fool you though, this guy can play and play with the very best.
Keegan Manowitz – 5’10 PG – Jennings County – Southern Indiana Blaze: Manowitz is arguably the most underrated player on this list. Had a real solid spring and was showing some high level playmaking ability. Shorter lead guard but does not let that hold him back because this guy is flat out tough. Probably will get overlooked at little this summer just be default but Manawitz is one to watch for not only this summer, but for the next couple of years.
Marcus Northern Marcus Northern 6'2" | PG South Bend Washington | 2023 State IN – 5’11 PG – South Bend Washington – Gym Rats 2023: Northern is one of the smoothest lead guards that we have. Very quick, sees the floor very well, and just makes big play after big play. Had a couple of minor turnover problems but for the most part he was finding his teammates and finding ways to score himself. Northern is a guy that is probably going get a few looks this summer.
Logan Imes Logan Imes 6'4" | PG Zionsville | 2023 State #202 Nation IN – 6’4 SG – Zionsville – Indiana Elite 2023: Imes is a combo guard that is smooth and can really light it up from behind the arc. Pretty athletic and has a high enough IQ to find ways to contribute when he is not scoring. Imes still feels like he really has not hit that “breakout” level that we have been dying to see from him. This summer provides a huge opportunity for Imes to show that upside that we know he has.
Joey Hart Joey Hart 6'5" | SG Linton-Stockton | 2023 State #214 Nation IN – 6’3 SG – Linton-Stockton – Grand Park Premier 2023 UA Rise: Hart is taller shooting guard that has a ton of confidence to his game. Smooth outside shooter and makes a ton smart plays with the ball. Has a few D1 offers and think there is for sure some room for more. All signs are pointing for Hart to have an impressive summer.
Luke Almodovar Luke Almodovar 6'2" | SG Noblesville | 2023 State IN – 6’2 SG – Noblesville – Grand Park Premier 2023 UA Rise: Almodovar seemed to really take advantage of the spring season and show what he can do. Smaller shooting guard but is a tough scorer at all three levels. Has a good amount of explosiveness to his game and showed his ability to play hard through contact. Almodavar was a stock riser this spring and should continue to show out this summer.
Kaden Oliver Kaden Oliver 6'2" | PG Silver Creek | 2023 State IN – 6’2 PG – Madison – Grand Park Premier 2023 UA Rise: Oliver is a tough, taller, lead guard with a lot of aggressiveness to his game. More of a guy that takes it to the rim before shooting a jumper. Sees the floor well and does a good job in getting his teammates involved. Oliver still feels like he hasn’t reached that ceiling we think he can reach quite yet. Huge opportunity this summer to take his game to that next level.
Connor Hussong Connor Hussong 6'3" | SG Tipton | 2023 State IN – 6’2 SG – Tipton – Indiana Elite Swish: Hussung was an overlooked, breakout player this spring. Game looks like it has been taken up to that next level and it really showed with his scoring. He has put in a ton of work and it is really starting to show. This summer will be the right time for him to really put it all together and show that he can play with the best of them.
