On Sunday afternoon and evening at Fishers High School nearly 200 of the states best Class of 2027 prospects came to display their skills in front of many of the most influential people in Indiana High School Basketball. This event is the premier way to get “on the radar” prior to your high school career. Over the next week or so it will become clear why we always say “nobody does content and event coverage like Prep Hoops Indiana.” With that said, here are the player evaluations from Team 8 of the 2023 Prep Hoops Indiana Freshman Showcase.
***With nearly 200 prospects at our event, our scouting staff (of three people) divided up the 20 teams to ensure that we could get evaluations of every player. However, as you can imagine, this is not the easiest task. Our staff watched each team they were assigned to for a minimum of one full game. There were some late player additions and walk-ups that threw a wrench into some rosters as well. So, if you notice that a name is wrong and/or a player is missing an evaluation please reach out to Brandon Ramsey at coachbrandonramsey@gmail.com or reach out via DM on Twitter @BRamseyKSR and he will resolve any issues. Thanks for your understanding and for participating in the 2023 Prep Hoops Indiana Freshman Showcase!***
Bles’sed Thomas Bles’sed Thomas 5'11" | PG Pike | 2027 IN (Pike):
Thomas was the freshman I was most impressed with over the weekend. He was the best on-ball guard at the showcase and got through the defense so easily. Had great handles and was able to create for himself very easily. Can shoot the ball a little too. Ball does stick with him a little too much right now, however.
Kayden Hobdy Kayden Hobdy 5'3" | PG Perry Meridian | 2027 IN (Perry Meridian):
Hobdy is a super small guard whose size does limit what he can do right now. Will need to see him again in order to get a better evaluation.
Braylin Fertil Braylin Fertil 6'0" | PG Snider | 2027 IN (Snider):
Fertil is a freshman that plays with a good amount of explosiveness already. Had strong baseline drives and rebounded well.
Destin Martzke (La Porte):
Martzke got down the floor very well and was also one of the better rebounders I saw on the day.
Gunner Lubbehusen Gunner Lubbehusen 5'10" | PG Heritage Hills | 2027 IN (Heritage Hills):
Lubbehusen is a lanky guard that has potential to play off the ball well. Like his length at the two guard spot.
Jake Means Jake Means 5'9" | SG Crown Point | 2027 IN (Crown Point):
Means is a freshman with a strong lower body. Played very tough defense.
Andrew Bowman Andrew Bowman 6'1" | SG Greensburg | 2027 IN (Greensburg):
Bowman is a taller player for his age. Needs to play with consistent aggressiveness more often.
