Previous Ranking: #40
Current Ranking: #28
Hernandez continues to rise back up the board by having a standout junior campaign. His defense is what stands out first. Versatile defender that can check threes and fours. Plus shot blocker that can also use his length laterally getting in passing lanes. He gets on the offensive glass, plays above the rim as a finisher, and is an improving spot up shooter.

Fitch has always had the physical tools. He is starting to put it together and turn potential into some production which we like to see in juniors. Athletic finisher and rim runner offensively. Defensively he rebounds well and is a good rim protector. Best basketball is ahead of him!

(Joliet West)
Previous Ranking: NR
Current Ranking: #60
King is a five man from Joliet West that has made strides as a junior. Sat just outside the rankings previously and made a huge leap into them this time. Finishes well out of the dunker spot, rebounds in his area, and is a shot blocking presence at 6’8”.

(Metamora)
Previous Ranking: NR
Current Ranking: #62
This post from Metamora came out of nowhere for a team that made it to the 3A title game a year ago. The 6’8” five man is an area rebounder that does a nice job securing boards, protecting the rim, and finishing on dump offs from his guards. Efficient around the hoop.
