Top Player: Dominique Murphy Jr Dominique Murphy Jr 6'5" | SG East Chicago Central | 2025 State #242 Nation IN
Murphy Jr is starting to really show just how talented he is as a player and why he is one of the top 10 players in the in-state 2025 class. The 6’5″ guard has great size on the perimeter and plays with a real aggressiveness on the offensive end. What makes him such a top prospect is that he can score about anywhere on the floor at an easy rate. He continues to get stronger and bigger while also keeping that high-end skillset. Has a chance to become the all-time leading scorer in East Chicago Central school history.
