He's a good finisher around the rim and a pest on the defensive end.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(148) PG [player_tooltip player_id='2377298' first='Kyan' last='Jones'] (North Union)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another North Union Warrior on this list, Jones is a pass-first 6-0 point guard who sees the floor extremely well and has a great understanding of the game.

He's a glue guy who does a little bit of everything, with the strength to battle bigger bodies on the defensive end, and the quickness and IQ to hold his own against quicker guards.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>(156) PF [player_tooltip player_id='2325304' first='Dylan' last='Litzel'] (Clear Lake)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Litzel was extremely efficient as a senior for the Lions, shooting nearly 62% from the floor and averaging 9.7 points and 4.8 rebounds.

He's better when he's attacking the rim or getting to the free-throw line, but he's a good enough shooter that it at least needs to be respected.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
