Isiah has been traveling across the country participating in events that continue to get him looks and he is able to play against some top tier talent. With him finding ways to shine he rises in the National Rankings as well. He is currently a Top 10 player in every national media rankings. He will be playing up for the 2nd year at the 17U level. His long lanky and athletic combo guard skills have really stood out. He is starting to really figure out his spots as he gets to them frequently. He is playing the right way moving the ball and knowing when he should make a move and go to work. His shooting on those drive and kicks continues to elevate and his handle is strong as he knows how to protect the ball and keep his vision up. He is going to be a stat stuffer for the Utah Prospects scoring, hauling in boards and dropping dimes. The kid racks up steals as well.
It is crazy to think that most people did not know who Flory was a year ago and now he is the #1 player in the state and probably Top 5 in the nation across the board. He is a a player that cleans the glass all game long and his activity on the boards makes him tough to box out. Even when you get good position his wing span is something else as well. With over a dozen offers from schools from coast to coast he is going to have a big grassroots season. It seems like the Crystal Ball is leaning towards Purdue at the moment. Flory provides a defensive presence that makes anyone think twice about going in the paint. A lot of teams will try and pull him out in the perimeter if they can but the kid moves his feet really well.
6’7 wing is one of those players that has made up his mind and is headed to Texas A& M. He pays the same way to because when he makes up his mind to attack he is a force and physical player that will get to the rim. He is a true athletic wing that can handle the ball and make a few move and even hit you with some slight spins to get loose. The big guard has wiggle with the ball. Defensively he uses his instinct when helping and he gets out on the break and it’s SHOWTIME. Team Loaded will be just that and he is just one piece of the puzzle.
Highlights
Electric Lefty PG! This kid has a big time GO button. He changes the pace and he is just hard to stay in-front of. He can get downhill without going full speed and he can hit you with various moves, including those push-out one leg shots. Will hurt you at the free-throw-line and with him being in Las Vegas he has had to play against some athletic and pesky guards. He will be one of the toughest guards on the circuit.
