Top Player: Ajani Washington Ajani Washington 6'2" | SG New Haven | 2024 State IN
Washington is back on Indy Heat Red. He comes into this season as arguably the best pure scorer on this team and maybe the most athletic. He is a true playmaker with the ball and his tight handle when driving the lane is tough to compete with. Consistency will be a major key with him, but due to his skillset when he is at his best, he plays at another level.
Potential Breakout Player: Cannen Houser
When it comes to consistent stock-risers in the in-state 2024 class, Houser is someone that looks better and better each time we see him. At 6’5, He has good size on the wing and is really good at playing off the dribble and creating his own shot. He is also a fantastic shooter off the catch. If he can continue to be as consistent as he has been the past few years, colleges are going to really start to go after him hard.
