Top Player:

Pardon will be one of the two senior shooting guards that will be leading the Chargers this season. A recent Bowling Green commit, Pardon is an athletic, skilled guard that can flat out score the basketball. For his position, he is a taller shooting guard at around 6’4 that shoots the ball at an extremely high level. He has great size on the wing and can create off the dribble. He will likely have the ball in his hands a lot more this season as well. He is option No. 1 for Fort Wayne Carroll this season.
Potential Breakout Player: Cannen Houser
Houser is a player that I feel has been on the verge of breaking out for awhile now. At 6’5, he is another long wing option for the Chargers and has a high level of skill both as a guy who can be a secondary playmaker off of the dribble and a catch-and-shoot threat beyond the arc. He great play over the summer attracted a lot of college attention. He is arguably the best shooting guard still uncommitted and a big senior season will attract even more college attention.
