He already came on strong at the end of his freshman year proving he was one of the best young prospects in the state with a mixture of size, athleticism, and skill. Miller rebounds the ball well on the both ends of the floor, slashes and drives to the basket consistently, and can make open shots to stretch the floor beyond three-point range.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1560952"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"This 6'7u0022 prospect isn't your traditional power forward by any means, and he may well develop into a legitimate wing, but right now I think Harrell projects best as a pick-and-pop 4-man. He shoots the ball very well off of the catch and can attack closeouts going either direction. His ability to drive it left as a right-handed player at his age is very impressive and makes him hard to stop when he gets it on the perimeter. Harrell is definitely a face-up forward, but his size allows him to play the 4 effectively on both ends of the floor.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["2046151"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Hillsman is admittedly a prospect I would like to see more of this summer as he came to Lawrence Central after an outstanding freshman season at Concord Academy in Connecticut. However, the 6'6u0022 forward has a reputation that proceeds him from his high school season and excellent showings at several high profile camps as well. Then, Hillsman stood out at times for LC during the Charlie Hughes Showcase last weekend proving that his talent will translate to Indiana High School Basketball. One of the better long-term prospects in the class.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1561030"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Wells has really come on strong this spring and summer between a solid run with Meanstreets 2026 on the EYBL Circuit, a great showing at the IBCA Top 100 as a last minute entrant, and then strong play through the month of June with his talented, young Mt. Vernon (Fortville) squad. The 6'4u0022 forward has impressive versatility and is another guy who is likely to either develop into a true wing or continue to project as a pick-and-pop, face-up 4-man. There is a lot of skill to work with here. Look for Wells to have a big sophomore season.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1561624"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"A 6'5u0022 left-handed forward from Homestead High School, McNiece and his [program_tooltip program_id='2228160' first='OPS' last=''] Kindschy 2026 team dominated the Prep Ho[program_tooltip program_id='2228160' first='OPS' last=''] Circuit through most of the spring. His versatility and size played a big role in their team success. McNiece can stretch the floor some with his catch-and-shoot ability, but is still at his best when attacking closeouts or scoring inside with his left hand over his right shoulder. As he continues to grow his game will be able to take another leap because of his skill level and mobility.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1560949"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"Came in and averaged 5.6 points and 4.4 rebounds per game as a freshman for a Jennings County team that advanced to Semi-State. The 6'5u0022 forward is pretty bouncy around the basket, can clean the glass on both ends of the floor, and has some skill inside 15-feet. As he continues to expand his range and become more consistent from three-point range he will have the chance to move up the prospect rankings.
