Alioune Mbaye Alioune Mbaye 6'7" | PF De La Salle | 2024 State IL ( Chicago Demons )
First game of the event we had to catch this De La Salle big man who has made a meteoric rise up the board in the 2024 class with his combination of athleticism, skill, rebounding, and defense. That was shown in a 14 point outing as he stretched with his shooting, passed it well, snatched rebounds in traffic, and played with power along with sound footwork out of the post.
Victor Brown Victor Brown 6'6" | PF Rich Township | 2024 State IL ( IBA Illinois Stars )
Brown is an undersized four man from Rich Township that is super bouncy around the hoop on both ends. Rim runner that excels scoring in transition. High points rebounds in traffic and is a quality shot blocking presence.
Kaden Faber Kaden Faber 6'5" | PF Thornwood | 2024 State IL (DTM)
Faber is one to track as a senior for small colleges and JUCOs as he has quality size, athleticism, and skill. Such an explosive second jump on the glass for put backs and is a sound spot up shooter from three.
Ian Case Ian Case 6'7" | SF Macomb | 2024 State IL ( Archangels ‘ last=”]’ last=”])
Case is a 6’7” center from Macomb that has a strong frame. Moves very well for his size getting up and down the floor for rim runs along with pounding the offensive glass for put backs.
Bryce Smith Bryce Smith 6'7" | PF Carmel | 2024 State IL ( Full Package Gold)
Carmel 6’6” power forward can stretch the floor with his shooting from distance. He drained six from beyond the arc in a win against the Michigan Goonies. Strong frame and is a solid rebounder, but his value comes with his stretch ability as a post racking up 20 points.
