O’Fallon Shootout: Top Illinois Wings

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The O'Fallon Shootout is one of the top events of the year in Illinois.&nbsp; Here we breakdown the top wings at the event from Illinois.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1157235' first='Cole' last='Certa'] (Bloomington Central Catholic – 2024)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Certa was fantastic in his opening night performance at the event.&nbsp; The BCC star broke Jayson Tatum's event scoring record by scoring 43 points in a loss to Nashville on Friday night.&nbsp; He only shot 3-15 from deep which is actually his biggest strength, but he proved like we have been saying for a while he can get buckets in more ways than threes off movement.&nbsp; He was impressive creating his own shot off the dribble on takes to the rim along with mid-range jumpers stopping on a dime.&nbsp; Good athlete that accelerates in transition with the ball and has the ability to draw contact.&nbsp; Final stat line read 43 points (16-33 FG) (8-9 FT), 7 rebounds, 3 dimes, and 2 blocks.&nbsp; No doubt the best unsigned junior in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='939071' first='Jordan' last='Pickett'] (Belleville East – 2023 – SIU-Edwardsville)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pickett was excellent in Belleville East's blow out victory over Lanphier.&nbsp; He started off fast with a pair of threes and it was on from there!&nbsp; Three level scorer that loves to shoot the long ball, but is at his best pushing in the open floor and getting his shoulders squared going downhill.&nbsp; One of the best all-around showings we have seen from Pickett as he had 22 points (8-18 FG), 6 rebounds, 2 dimes, and 2 steals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1743972' first='Antwine' last='Wilson'] (Belleville East – 2023)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Was a bit of a quiet game for stretches for Belleville East's second best prospect.&nbsp; The 6'4” wing scored around the rim with reverse layups, finished dump offs, and hit the offensive glass.&nbsp; Lone jumper was a step back three in a 9 point (4-10 FG) and 7 rebound outing.&nbsp; Would be a very nice fit at the small college or JUCO level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1373443' first='Rini' last='Harris'] (O'Fallon – 2024)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Harris is a utility wing that showcased over the weekend in a pair of games that his true value comes in his ability to stuff the stat sheet.&nbsp; The athleticism shines through on the glass, defensively, and an underrated passer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Isaiah Camper (O'Fallon – 2023)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Camper is the ultimate glue guy for O'Fallon.&nbsp; The junior shooting guard does the little things like taking charges, making the extra passes, and hitting open shots when they present themselves.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1048393' first='Carter' last='Schoenherr'] (Nashville – 2023)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The top perimeter option for Nashville stepped up when his team needed him.&nbsp; Strong frame with the ability to get downhill with strength and some nifty footwork on euro steps and spin moves.&nbsp; Hit a couple big threes as well.&nbsp; The small college prospect had 18 points (7-11 FG) (2-3 3 PT) and 3 assists.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1048319' first='Jayden' last='Martin'] (Joliet West – 2023)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The toughness for the combo guard from Joliet West is a huge x-factor for his team.&nbsp; The senior guard has a strong frame with the ability to score in the paint and hit an open three.&nbsp; He rebounds very well for his position and plays tough defense.&nbsp; Contributed 8 points and 6 rebounds.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1373437' first='Justus' last='McNair'] (Joliet West – 2024)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McNair struggled shooting the basketball in their win against Cathedral, but he was effective getting to the foul line where he hit 5-8 finishing with 7 points and defensively picked up a couple steals.&nbsp; Like him at the low-major level in 2024.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
