The big fella hit some strides this past year at he helped the best he could hold down the paint and he was active blocking shots and pulling down rebounds. At the next level he will need to improve his mobility and just using his length to cover the ground his feet are not doing. This Spring and Summer could help Poky close the gap between them and a team like Hillcrest.
Ike was one of the best facilitators in the state and he was one of the best lob passing guards as well. With him scoring 11 PPG and around 6 APG, he is likely to increase those numbers so expect him to be at 15 PPG and close to a double-double with the way his team plays and the assist he can rack up quickly.

Big threat out in the open floor as he get to those spots out on the wing and he can be a knockdown shooter. He is also really quick to get to his moves when he touches the ball on the move and that doesn’t allow defenders to get set. He is also solid in the post using shifty moves. He could be a much improved player next year. He does not get enough credit for what he can do off the bounce, he has a quick first step.
Lefty wing that can stretch the floor but also handle business down in the post as well. With a little more consistent play from the outside the kid can spark that motor and his ability to play above the rim is something that can get his offense going all while he plays soldi defense. He has a strong left hand and finish from that side as well.
