Top 250 Expo Preview: Ranked 2023 Prospects To Watch

<hr /> [player_tooltip player_id="1128423" first="Grant" last="Rein"] | Shooting Guard | Grapevine Faith HS 6-foot guard, [player_tooltip player_id="1128423" first="Grant" last="Rein"], is coming off a sensational breakout sophomore season where he attracted attention from colleges and universities from all over after dropping over 500 points, nailing nearly 100 three-pointers, 98 to be exact, all while shooting 48% from the field and 43% from deep. Rein averaged 16 Points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, and 3 three-pointers a game and was also recognized as a Fort Worth All-Area player and a First Team All-District honoree. You can expect Grant to do what he does best and that’s torching defenses from three-point range and scoring at a high rate in the open court. [player_tooltip player_id="1128423" first="Grant" last="Rein"] is the top three-point shooter in the state, of his class. He’s an incredibly pure jump shooter with a stroke that is a thing of beauty, tight defense and a hand in his face from contesting defenders won’t phase or slow him down one bit, Rein will have great concentration and consistency on every shot that he takes. <hr /> [player_tooltip player_id="1056523" first="Jackson" last="Prince"] | Combo Guard | Duncanville HS Duncanville’s [player_tooltip player_id="1056523" first="Jackson" last="Prince"] is usually known for his shooting prowess from beyond the arc but at the Prep Hoops Top 250 Expo everyone will get to see his bonafide scoring capabilities. Prince can put up points with the best of them, he’s armed with a handle and the elusiveness to shake a defender out of his shoes. The moment you give [player_tooltip player_id="1056523" first="Jackson" last="Prince"] space to operate he’s going to make you regret it, this kid has masterful ways of creating separation to always get the shot he’s looking for. His confidence must be respected at all times, Jackson’s an unconscious sniper that is going to put up three-pointers at high volume. This guard also plays with an energy that’s contagious and will have his teammates as well as the crowd locked into every play that he has the ball. [player_tooltip player_id="1056523" first="Jackson" last="Prince"] never ceases to amaze me, look out for him to be one of the bigger standout ballplayers of this event. <hr /> [player_tooltip player_id="1212764" first="Rasaun" last="Collier"] | Combo Guard | Duncanville HS Another Duncanville High School rising star is [player_tooltip player_id="1212764" first="Rasaun" last="Collier"], a 6-foot-3-inch score-first guard with a 101 moves in his bag of handles. Look for Collier to be one of the craftiest and most fearless shot creators in the building. Very controlled ball skills with good awareness, great scoring instincts with a knack for either using his footwork or strength to shake off a defender when attempting to produce a clean look. [player_tooltip player_id="1212764" first="Rasaun" last="Collier"] will also shred defenses with his solid outside stroke, particularly when he’s catching and shooting it in rhythm. He’s not anyone you want to leave open, if Rasaun’s shot is not respected he’ll wind up annihilating defenders over and over again. <hr /> [player_tooltip player_id="1139647" first="Cole" last="Andrews-Heitz"] | Shooting Guard | Leander Rouse HS Texas ranked guard and one of Austin’s finest, [player_tooltip player_id="1139647" first="Cole" last="Andrews-Heitz"], dominated the Prep Hoops Top 250 Expo last year and he’s ready to pick up where he left off. Andrews-Heitz is coming off of a sophomore season where he averaged 7 points and 2 assists per game, racking up over 150 points on 39% shooting from the field. Dangerous dribble penetrator with a great catch and shoot jumpshot from beyond the arc. As smooth, efficient, and consistent as they come, if Andrews-Heitz isn’t shooting it in your face and lighting things up from deep, he’s attacking closeouts and scoring within the lane, everytime he gets inside he finds a way to capitalize with one of his many crafty and creative finishes. I expect [player_tooltip player_id="1139647" first="Cole" last="Andrews-Heitz"] to stand out as one of the top scorers of the entire event for the second straight year. <hr /> [player_tooltip player_id="1176704" first="Rylan" last="Kennedy"] | Small Forward | Mansfield Lake RIdge HS [player_tooltip player_id="1176704" first="Rylan" last="Kennedy"] is entering his junior season after a great year where he was recognized as a 6A Second Team All-District performer in the top basketball conference in the state. Kennedy’s high motor and aggressive nature will allow him to excel on both ends in all aspects of the game. There’s no doubt in my mind that this 6-foot-5-inch forward will make his impact felt across the board. I expect Rylan to catch everyone’s attention from the jump, the ball will always seem to find him because he relentlessly chases down every rebound, he’s willing to go after and dive on the floor for any 50/50 ball, and he plays the passing lanes like no other. Kennedy will likely be a major fastbreak threat and a terrifying slasher when attacking the basket with a full head of steam. This guy loves to put on a show with his high flying dunks, expect [player_tooltip player_id="1176704" first="Rylan" last="Kennedy"] to put a man or two on a poster before the day is over. <hr />
