PH Indiana Top 250 Expo Session #2: Team 3 Notes

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Prep Hoops Top 250 Expo held its second session this past Saturday at Fishers High School just outside of Indianapolis. Following are a list of standouts from team #3. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2245761' first='Jayce' last='Swanson'] 5-9 2025 Evansville Reitz </strong>Covered in my Gamechangers article from Sunday. A recent addition to the state. Coming from Gonzaga Prep in Spokane Washington. As an outsider from Michigan. If high school basketball fans in Indiana do not know this name yet. They will soon. Not very big, but that is about all you could ding him for. Very quick with sudden change of direction ability. Well schooled pass first point guard that you can tell grew up around the gym. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2245730' first='Nate' last='Tyler'] 6-0 2025 Yorktown </strong>Once again, I'm a Michigan based writer. Anytime I cover events South of Elkhart. I come away thinking “everyone in this state shoot.” Tyler falls into this category. Fundamentally sound player who played the game the right way. Used a pump fake properly to create space on the perimeter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1159224' first='Luke' last='Lawrence'] 6-1 2025 Evansville Reitz </strong>The Panther program has an immense amount of young talent and went about four deep at the camp. Lawrence was the sharp shooter among the highly athletic bunch. Hit a few deep ones with a smooth and effortless release. Did more than just shoot though. Showed good ball handling ability and court vision on a nice lob. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1560996' first='Josh' last='Malloy'] 6-2 2026 Munster </strong>Like Swanson, I covered Malloy extensively in my previous Gamechanger article. An outstanding performance for this 2026 prospect. Simply put, as a backcourt prospect. There wasn't much he didn't do. Handled it well, shot it very well, and made good decisions. Was composed with clutch play. One of the better all around performers on the day. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1539571' first='Robert' last='Stewart'] 6-5 2025 Lawrence Central (pictured) </strong>An old school hoss of a post prospect. Was the strongest player in the camp by a pretty healthy margin. Established deep post position and showed a soft touch around the basket. Was more than just “bully ball” though. Good ball skills and was able to initiate offense out of the high post. Also appeared to be well schooled in the pick and roll. Dove hard to the basket in the dunker spot. Set punishing picks to start the action. Sports a thick but athletic frame. Despite the girth. Easily finished above rim in multiple instances. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1578398' first='Isaac' last='Smith'] 6-6 2024 Blackhawk Christian </strong>Very good day for the Fort Wayne area forward. Listed at 6-6 but appeared quite comfortable playing like a guard. Had a handful of threes. One of them was very deep. Showed a nice pump fake to get to the mid range after defenses adjusted and began to close out him quickly. Was also a good passer for a player his size. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1297022' first='Dylan' last='Fey'] 6-3 2025 Jimtown </strong>Shooter who got his shots the old fashioned way. Was in constant motion off the ball. Caught it in the shooting motion and got it off quickly. Has an athletic but stocky build. Got the ball up to the rim quickly when he had it on the block. Had clever reverse finish that showed creativity. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1534938' first='Lukias' last='Warner'] 6-5 2025 Marion </strong>Similar game to [player_tooltip player_id='1539571' first='Robert' last='Stewart']. Stocky but very athletic prospect who improved as the day advanced. A “grab and go” prospect. Often snagged a rebound and led the break by himself. Hard to stop with a head of steam in transition. Showed quick and explosive elevation to the rim. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
