<p>Prep Hoops Indiana hosted our annual Freshman Showcase on Saturday featuring over 150 of the best prospects in the Class of 2025. This was a great opportunity to see a bunch of guys as they head into their first season of high school basketball. Here, we take a look and evaluate the players that made up Team 10.</p>
<p>#16 [player_tooltip player_id="1297070" first="Kaiden" last="Jerabek"] (Herron H.S. 2025)- Small point guard with a good, tight handle. The 5’8" Herron product shot the ball well on Saturday showing the ability to play make both for himself and others. Jerabek got inside and fought for rebounds as well. Solid point guard.</p>
<p>#42 [player_tooltip player_id="1296970" first="Aiden" last="Sanders"] (Richmond H.S. 2025)- Sanders is a 5’10" pass-first point guard that set the table well for his teammates throughout the day. He wasn’t really looking to score the basketball, but was a true floor general running the offense.</p>
<p>#43 [player_tooltip player_id="1297067" first="Julian" last="Defrantz"] (Park Tudor 2025)- 5’10" guard that pushes it hard in transition and showed the ability to consistently get to the basket off of the dribble. Defrantz came out hot scoring 10 points in the first game of the day. He is more of a driver than a shooter at this point, but has a smooth looking stroke. Did a good job of rebounding from the guard spot as well.</p>
<p>#59 [player_tooltip player_id="1297040" first="Jace" last="Jenkins"] (Princeton H.S. 2025)- Jenkins is a 5’11" scoring guard that shot the ball very well from beyond the arc at the Freshman Showcase. He knocked in four three-pointers on the day with a pair of double-figure performances. Has a good build for a kid his age with some athleticism. Projectable scorer coming out of Princeton that should have a nice career.</p>
<p>#79 [player_tooltip player_id="1159224" first="Luke" last="Lawrence"] (Evansville Memorial H.S. 2025)- Lawrence is an absolute knockdown three-point shooter. He scored 16 points with 12 of them coming off of the four three-pointers that he drained. 6’0" guard with a quick release and great footwork on the perimeter. Keeps his hands and feet ready to shoot at all times. Nice prospect to watch down in Evansville.</p>
<p>#80 [player_tooltip player_id="1297000" first="Chanan" last="Glenn"] (Lawrence Central H.S. 2025)- An aggressive 6’0" guard that looks to penetrate the defense and score around the basket. Glenn showed smooth shooting mechanics from beyond the arc, but still looked even better driving and attacking closeouts. Solid frame for a younger prospect.</p>
<p>#112 [player_tooltip player_id="1297104" first="Raijon" last="Laird"] (Jeffersonville H.S. 2025)- Laird is a bigger 6’2" guard with a lot of skill and impressive physicality. He was arguably the best rebounding guard at the event pulling down over five per game and showed the ability to go coast-to-coast with it. Knocked down a three as well. Definitely will be a nice prospect in Jeffersonville for years to come.</p>
<p>#113 [player_tooltip player_id="1297115" first="Tate" last="Hickman"] (Christian Academy 2025)- Very skilled guard that really stood out with his strong play at the Freshman Showcase on Saturday. The 6'2" Hickman was one of the better looking guards at the event scoring just a tick under 10 points per game. Fluid athlete with a smooth pull-up jumper that he used from mid-range. Good all-around offensive player.</p>
<p>#125 [player_tooltip player_id="1297021" first="Donovan" last="Brewer"] (Southport H.S. 2025)- A 6'3" long, athletic wing that has impressive physical tools. Brewer used his length to rebound outside of his area and block shots on the defensive end. As he gets stronger it will really help his offensive game come along as well, but the athleticism is there and he has good traits defensively. </p>
<p>#159 [player_tooltip player_id="1297052" first="Jalen" last="Haralson"] (Fishers H.S. 2025)- Haralson is one of the most impressive freshman prospects that I have evaluated in 10+ years. This 2025 class is in good hands with Haralson and Sisley, two generational-type talents. A 6'6" guard, Haralson has the skills of a point guard with the physical tools of a forward. He is an excellent passer with elite vision and is nearly impossible to stop off of the dribble. He led the event in scoring at 19 points per game. Very special talent.</p>
