Jamil Miller Jamil Miller 6'6" | SG Gonzaga Prep | 2023 State WA | Gonzaga Prep High School
Jamil has improved by leaps and bounds from his Freshmen year to now. He is a STUD athlete, that is a puzzle to guard. He can shoot it from outside with deep range, as well as go right by his defender for a tough finish or a dunk in traffic. He is a quick and lengthy defender that is difficult to just score on with no effort. He has transferred from Shadle Park to Gonzaga Prep this year and is poised to have another breakout season, even though he did win MVP last year in his league with Shadle, he is out to prove he can get even better.
Boen Phelps | Freeman High School
This kid right here is such a blast to watch. His motor just makes him a must-watch basketball player here in Eastern Washington. Boen is one of those point guards that you can trust to give 100% effort on every play and trust him to make the most efficient play to get his team points. He is a very accurate passer and excels at a very high rate getting to the rim for tough finishes with extra free throws frequently. Boen is a great on-ball defender because as he treats every possession like it’s the last play of the game. Boen is one of the most coachable kids I have ever seen or worked with. Excited to see his growth this season!
Maverick Sanders | Mt. Spokane High School
Maverick is a new transfer to Mt.Spokane this year. This kid’s effort is amazing! He is always in the paint looking to wreak havoc on the boards and succeeds at a very high rate. He is an athletic Wing/Forward that can create chaos by just outworking everyone else on the court with him. Maverick does great work while working in a pick and roll whether that be rolling to the basket for a layup or whether he rolls out to the 3pt line and knocks down a jumper. He is very versatile and can do many things on the court. Maverick is one of those kids that does all the dirty work! You need someone to win 50/50 balls this is your kid! You need someone to stand there and take a charge to give your team another possession, this is your kid!
Jackson Floyd Jackson Floyd 6'0" | PG Gonzaga Prep | 2023 State WA | Gonzaga Prep High School
Jackson Floyd Jackson Floyd 6'0" | PG Gonzaga Prep | 2023 State WA had a tough season last year dealing with a tough injury, But I have watched this kid since and he has grown IMMENSELY! Jackson was already a great shooter from outside, but this summer and fall he has grown into a bigger threat. He does great work in a pick and roll, making great decisions setting his team up for success at high percentage shots. Jackson is an athletic kid who is tough to match up against because he can step back and hit a jumper or take it to the rim for a tough and one finish. Most of all this kid has the best attitude towards his coaches and his teammates. He is always pushing himself to be better and it shows! I expect him to have a very big Junior season, and could easily be the best player in Spokane this year.
Kolton Mitchell Kolton Mitchell 6'1" | PG Lake City | 2023 State ID | Lake City High School
Let’s just start with saying this kid is a bucket. He is a very great scorer off the dribble. He is very quick and shifty and able to sneak his way to the rim or create enough space to hit jump shots over his defender. This kid never stops moving. Even without the ball he always moving and getting his teammates to move to create space and opportunities for others. Kolton is a very hard worker on defense as well. The kid is tough to break down on defense because he is always being a pest to his opposition. He doesn’t give you any room to breathe. Excited to see how much he’s grown this summer!
Nathan Hocking Nathan Hocking 6'6" | SF Lake City | 2023 State ID | Lake City High School
Nathan is new at lake City as he transferred from Ferris this season. This kid isn’t an expert at anything but he’s a “jack of all trades”. He is going to give you everything he has on every play and for every minute he is on the court. Nathan is that teammate that every player wants. He is always encouraging his teammates and very receptive to coaching. Nathan might be the most athletic kid in this area. It lets him excel on offense and defense. He played with the 16U Seattle Rotarty EYBL team this summer and he grew immensely from that experience. I am so excited to see him with his new team and see how much he has developed.
