He’s a skilled wing who can knock down shots from deep and make shots on the move with good range, he’s become a lot more athletic as a defender and finisher around the rim and he knows the game and makes good decisions with the ball in his hands. #69 [player_tooltip player_id="1403925" first="Jaedon" last="Harris"] | 5’10” PG | John Paul the Great <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/10/Harris-Jaedon-CBG.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1302377" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/10/Harris-Jaedon-CBG-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a> Harris has been a very good lead guard for JPG over the past few years, and when he came to the CBG Fall Series and played on showcase teams with players he never played with before he showed he’s a true floor general with good leadership that plays the game the right way no matter where he is. He’s a skilled guard who plays with good pace and changes speeds well, he can score it from multiple levels with good range off the bounce and the ability to finish over bigger defenders, he has a great IQ and continuously makes winning plays and he’s a tough kid who just loves basketball and wants to get better in every way possible. #74 [player_tooltip player_id="1403926" first="Tristan" last="Whitfield"] | 6’7” PF | Cape Henry Whitfield is a nationally ranked volleyball player who will likely go that route when it comes to college, but he also could have a future playing basketball as he’s a big body with good athleticism and he has a good skill set as well. At 6’7” he runs the floor well and finishes above the rim consistently and with authority, he brings it on both ends of the floor and he provides physicality as well as good touch in the paint and the midrange. #82 [player_tooltip player_id="1403954" first="Jalen" last="Milt"] | 6’3” SF | Norview Milt is a very talented wing for a Norview team that’s on the rise, and with some polishing and improvement this summer he could be one of the best players in the 757. He has outstanding size on the wing and great tools on the defensive end, he can play on or off the ball and gets to the rim at will and is a good finisher, he can get hot and score it in bunches when he gets it going and he always seems to score the ball at a high clip. #83 [player_tooltip player_id="1403955" first="Wilson" last="Hagen"] | 6’4” SG | Miller School Hagen worked his way into the starting lineup for a very talented Miller School team that made a good run in the state tournament, and he was a calming presence and a good shooter that made winning plays regularly. He understands his role and sticks to it as a floor stretcher and is a good decision maker with the ball who doesn’t force shots, he is very efficient and works well to get open and whether it’s making the extra pass or taking a charge defensively he always seems to be doing the right thing to help his team win. #84 [player_tooltip player_id="1403956" first="Reuben" last="McEachern"] | 5’10” PG | Carmel School <a href="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/10/McEachern-Reuben-CBG.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1307764" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ph/uploads/2021/10/McEachern-Reuben-CBG-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a> McEachern reclassified and transferred to Carmel School where he played against a very tough schedule this year, and he showed he can hoop with the best of them as he’s a tough nosed lead guard who impacts the game in a number of different ways. The 5’10” guard is quick off the bounce and has a tight handle and changes speeds and directions well, he can score it from all three levels in isolation situations and makes plays out of the pick-and-roll and he’s a playmaker on both ends fo the floor with a good motor too.
