Devin Harrington (Storm Elite): A 6’5″ wing player from Alton who is primed to be a breakout performer next season after seeing some key minutes as a freshman. He’s a versatile player with good height and the ability to excel on the perimeter with his skill set. He has displayed good 3-point shooting and playmaking ability, plus he can rebound effectively.
Evan Simon (Arsenal Hoops 16U): A 6’0″ point guard from DeSmet who is playing a year up at the 16U level and has produced excellent results. He has a nice feel for the game, slick handles and good court vision to deliver nice passes. He also has extended 3-point shooting range and quick moves to create off the dribble.
Dehrio McCaskill (Yanders Law): A slender 6’3″ wing guard form Springfield Central is an exciting athlete in the open court with explosive athleticism. He’s an excellent slasher who can attack the basket and finish at different angles in the lane. He has solid handles and he can hit the perimeter shot to keep defenders honest. He is also an active defender with his length.
Kamron Tate (816-Hoops): A 6’0″ point guard from Lincoln College Prep who has quickness and strength which enables him to get downhill whenever possible. Defenses know he’s coming, but he gets in the lane anyway and he can finish through the contact to get buckets and conventional three-point plays. His concentration level inside the paint is excellent when he scores inside. He is also a hard worker on the defensive end who can play the passing lanes very well.
Miyel Taylor (Team Ramey): A 5’10″ point guard from University City who has followed up a solid freshman season with some good play during the spring. He is quick and he has the ability to change speeds. He can also play off the ball with his ability to knock down 3-pointers. He gets to the open spots and he can also hit the transition 3s.
Isaiah Thomas (COMO-TNT): A 5’10″ point guard from Montgomery County who has good quickness and an added burst to break down defenders. His ability to pull up from 3-point range makes him more difficult to handle. His playmaking skills are good as he can locate teammates and break the press by himself when he has to.
Eli Pace (Missouri 66ers): A 5’9″ pass first point guard from Webb City who really knows how to run a team. He’s play with his regular 15U team and up with the 17U team and he has displayed the same poise, savvy and floor leadership with both teams. He handles pressure well and he finds teammates in all of their comfort spots.
Joseph Gordon (Missouri 66ers): A 6’1″ guard from Eldorado Springs who has a strong body and good athleticism and he uses both to his advantage. He attacks the basket well and he can finish at the rim. He has a quick first step and a high motor that enables him to put in work against the bigger players that he’s matched up with every game.
Carson Blesener (Phenom-Agbo): A 5’10″ point guard from Francis Howell who can really ring the bell from 3-point range. He can shoot it from well beyond the lane and he has a quick release as well. He has a nice float game when he gets into the lane and he’s willing to attack the basket. He plays with a nice level of confidence.
