State
IN
Ball has been one of the stock-risers in the in-state 2025 class for quite sometime now. He is a very versatile forward and one of the top scorers in the entire state. For his size at 6’5, he is incredibly smooth with the ball and is really nice 15ft and in. He is versatile to play both the wing and post as well as rebound extremely well in those areas. With Ball being the main guy this year for the Braves, his numbers at nearly every state should see a major jump.
