As 2025s, they are the best players on a roster full of 2024s and for very good reasons. With Haralson, he is a taller lead guard that gets to the basket at will and Sisley is one of the more versatile forwards in the country. Together, these two make for a lethal duo on the EYBL circuit. A lot of eyes will be on them. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":1} --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Potential Breakout Player:&nbsp;[player_tooltip player_id='1275780' first='Micah' last='Davis']<a href="https://prephoops.com/player/cannen-houser-2/"></a></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Davis is a player that almost falls a little too under-the-radar despite being one of the better 2024s in the state. He is a dynamic playmaker of a guard that can really score in multiple areas of the floor. His motor and explosiveness really standout for him and defensively he is not afraid to get aggressive on that end. Right now, low-mid majors are circling in on him but a few breakout games, a few high majors may be willing to take interest in him. Davis could be a breakout player for this [program_tooltip program_id='2076927' first='Indy' last='Heat'] squad. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":1} --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Quick Hitters</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1222351' first='Jonas' last='Nichols'] - In the state of Ohio, Nichols has been a big stock-riser. He has really improved on the defensive end to go along with his solid offensive game. A sneaky good piece to this [program_tooltip program_id='2076927' first='Indy' last='Heat'] team. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1222354' first='Jesse' last='McCulloch'] - McCulloch is probably the most skilled big on this roster. He has incredible length and can rebound and stretch the floor pretty well. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>[player_tooltip player_id='1275779' first='Kanon' last='Catchings'] - Catchings is another guy that could have been added to the "Top Players" section. After having a great junior season at Brownsburg, the Purdue commit has made his case as a top three player in the 2024 in-state class. He provide a ton a length on the wing and is one of the smoothest, knockdown shooters in the state. He could be in for a big AAU season. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2297302' first='Tyler' last='Bailey']</strong> - Bailey is a highly athletic shooting guard that can really push the pace and put up points.

While he is still pretty raw, his physical tools are majorly impressive and the potential he has is through the roof. </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
