He's relentless in attacking the painted area and making things happen with the ball in his hands.

He's averaging 26.7 PPG on 53 percent shooting from the field and 40 percent shooting from deep as a top scorer in the NCISAA. He also ranks third in the NCISAA in assists per game (5.1) and is an underrated playmaker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>5) [player_tooltip player_id='1730959' first='Kameron' last='Taylor'], Carmel Christian</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Taylor has fared well since moving from the NCHSAA to the NCISAA with Carmel Christian. He's put up 24.3 PPG as they're 18-10 on the season. He's a sizeable wing prospect who can also rebound in bunches.

He's a 6-foot-4 presence with a knack for scoring the ball in a variety of ways, averaging 23.0 PPG while also shooting 34 percent from deep. He's a late addition for college programs to get to know.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>8) [player_tooltip player_id='2351667' first='Nate' last='Purvis'], Thales Academy Apex</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Purvis is a fundamentally sound unsigned senior who can operate on the guard and on the wing for Thales Academy Apex.
