Guard with a wonderful first-step. His AAU season was very quiet. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#27 <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1173208' first='Cross' last='Chadwick']</strong> (Providence Academy)<br>Cross is a former PrepHoopsTN Combine MVP. He is looking more like a power forward now than he did two years ago. Before his sophomore season, Chadwick was perhaps a future college wing. After watching him play AAU this 17u year, he is more clearly a faceup 4. Cross still rebounds well in his area. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#28 <strong>Jack Shackleford </strong>(Bartlett)<br>Shackleford is a dynamic forward. Elite balance. Typically, he can be seen energizing the game. Shackleford's skill is embedded in everything he does. One detail that makes Shackleford so exciting to follow is that he embraces the "support staff" role eagerly. For years he has been playing with and against older players, meaning his best avenue for impact was high effort with limited touches on the basketball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#29 <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1338482' first='Jackson' last='Ary']</strong> (Bradley Central)<br>[player_tooltip player_id='1338482' first='Jackson' last='Ary'] is an intriguing prospect with tantalizing height. He can play face-up a little bit. Ary resides outside of the Top 10 or 15 because he looks like a 4-5 instead of a 2-4 on defense. Ary's strength is nice though his ability to change direction is just average for a college-level forward. In the high school division, Ary is certainly very good, but he will find some quicker opponents with his same size soon after graduation.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#30 <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1224251' first='Markeis' last='Barrett']</strong> (Knox Webb - football)<br>Markeis was an unbelievably quick point guard with BMaze earlier in his career. He is now lined up for football. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
