Continue ReadingThe AAU season is right around the corner and it is about be an extremely busy next few months. With rosters being finalized and the first Live Period this weekend, now is a perfect time to start taking a look at as many Indiana-based teams as we can. For this spotlight, let’s take a look at Indy Heat 17u EYBL.

Jonas Nichols Jonas Nichols 6'3" | SG Hoban | 2024 State OH | 6’3 | Shooting Guard | 2024 | Hoban |
Micah Davis Micah Davis 6'0" | PG Franklin | 2024 State #184 Nation IN | 6’0 | Point Guard | 2024 | Franklin |
Jalen Haralson Jalen Haralson 6'7" | PG La Lumiere | 2025 #8 Nation IN | 6’6 | Point Guard | 2025 | Fishers |

Kanon Catchings Kanon Catchings 6'8" | PF Overtime Elite (GA) | 2024 #31 Nation GA | 6’7 | Small Forward | 2024 | Brownsburg |
Tyler Bailey | 6’3 | Shooting Guard | 2024 | La Lumiere |
Dwayne Williams Dwayne Williams 6'6" | SF Moravian Prep | 2024 State NC | 6’5 | Shooting Guard | 2024 | ISA |
Kiir Kuany Kiir Kuany 6'8" | C Huntington Prep | 2024 State WV | 6’9 | Center | 2024 | ISA |
Top Players: Jalen Haralson Jalen Haralson 6'7" | PG La Lumiere | 2025 #8 Nation IN / Trent Sisley Trent Sisley 6'8" | PF Heritage Hills | 2025 State #47 Nation IN
When you have two players like Haralson and Sisley on the same, it is extremely difficult to pick one or the other. 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.
Potential Breakout Player: Micah Davis Micah Davis 6'0" | PG Franklin | 2024 State #184 Nation IN
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 Indy Heat squad.
Quick Hitters
- Jonas Nichols Jonas Nichols 6'3" | SG Hoban | 2024 State OH – 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 Indy Heat team.
- Jesse McCulloch Jesse McCulloch 6'9" | PF Lutheran East | 2024 State #136 Nation OH – McCulloch is probably the most skilled big on this roster. He has incredible length and can rebound and stretch the floor pretty well.
- Kanon Catchings Kanon Catchings 6'8" | PF Overtime Elite (GA) | 2024 #31 Nation GA – 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.
- Tyler Bailey – Bailey is a highly athletic shooting guard that can really push the pace and put up points. He is a true combo guard that can play both on and off the ball.
- Dwayne Williams Dwayne Williams 6'6" | SF Moravian Prep | 2024 State NC – Williams will be another player that provides great shooting to this Indy Heat team. He has deep range and shiftiness to get to the rim as well.
- Kiir Kuany Kiir Kuany 6'8" | C Huntington Prep | 2024 State WV – Kuany will be the most athletic player on this Indy Heat team. While he is still pretty raw, his physical tools are majorly impressive and the potential he has is through the roof.
