Top Player: Cody Evans Cody Evans 6'7" | SF Greencastle | 2026 State IN
This was an extremely hard category to pick because I could have realistically given the top player to about three guys here but I went with the more well-rounded player right now in Cody Evans Cody Evans 6'7" | SF Greencastle | 2026 State IN . The 6’6″ talented forward has an excellent all-around skill level for his size. Has a good amount of fluidity in his movements and can stretch the floor out to three-point range. He is coming off a sophomore year averaging 12.7 ppg for Greencastle and will be looking to step his game up this season.
Potential Breakout Player: Mason Darrell Mason Darrell 6'1" | SG Crown Point | 2026 State IN
This firecracker shooting guard is a player that I have been a fan of for the past season and think this is going to be a huge summer for him as a potential breakout player. He already started to breakout a little in sophomore season at Crown Point helping lead the Bulldogs to a semi-state run and doing most of his work off the bench even. There is no ‘off switch’ when it comes to Darrell as he plays with a nonstop, high motor and can do a little bit of everything offensively as well as being a willing defender. If you get a chance to see Team Tradition this year, you may come away impressed with Darrell.
Quick Hitters
Nick Shrewsberry Nick Shrewsberry 6'4" | SG South Bend St. Joseph | 2026 State IN – The shooting guard from SBSJ was the other player I considered putting in the above categories simply due to the potential. He is coming off a really solid high school season that saw him help lead SBSJ to the 3A State Championship. He is a player that can get hot from deep and has high upside to be microwave scorer.
Maverick Young Maverick Young 5'11" | SG Hamilton Southeastern | 2026 IN – Young is another shooting guard to watch this season for Team Tradition. A guy that can scorer pretty well from three.
Eli Sego – If you want to talk about high level scoring for this Team Tradition team, Sego is going to bring that. He comes into this spring/summer averaging 17.0 ppg for Triton Central this past season.
Nolan Hiteshew Nolan Hiteshew 6'4" | PG Leo | 2026 State IN – This is an under-the-radar player to watch for Team Tradition this spring/summer. A highly athletic wing that can be a playmaker on the floor. Potential breakout summer incoming.
Jack Jacobs Jack Jacobs 6'1" | SG Hamilton Southeastern | 2026 IN – Jacobs is another guard here from Hamilton Southeastern. Like Young, look for him to be a decent scorer for Team Tradition.
Jase Bennett – The 6’6 power forward out of Brownsburg will be a key piece for frontcourt of Team Tradition this season. Curios to see more off this 2026 forward.
Matthew Tierney Matthew Tierney 6'8" | C Bloomington South | 2026 IN – The 6’7 center out of Bloomington South brings the size to Team Tradition this spring/summer. While he is a little under-the-radar in the 2026 class right now, this AAU season will be a big chance for him to get more eyes on him.
