2024 Winterset Shootout: 2027 Prospect Preview

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>CG [player_tooltip player_id='2204081' first='Charlie' last='King'] | Roosevelt</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>King was one of the most productive freshmen in the state last season, averaging 11.0 points and 6.4 rebounds a game on 41-38-69 shooting splits. A combo guard who can play on or off the ball, he shoots it well off the catch, is an active defender and rebounder, and has really improved as a ball-handler and playmaker off the dribble.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SG [player_tooltip player_id='2419699' first='Braylon' last='Bingham'] | Pleasantville</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Speaking of productive freshmen seasons, look at what Bingham put up last season - 20.6 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 2.3 steals a game. An athletic, long wing who can score from all three levels, he's an intelligent player who knows how to use his length to his advantage on both ends of the floor. He stuffs the stat sheet and provides versatility on both ends of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SF [player_tooltip player_id='2419749' first='Evan' last='Abbott'] | Centennial</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Abbott only appeared in six games last season for the Jaguars varsity team, but he'll be a huge part of the team's future, starting this season. A long, athletic 6-4 wing who can score from anywhere, he's putting together a great spring with [program_tooltip program_id='2270834' first='Iowa' last='United'] and will be looking to establish himself as one of the focal points of the Centennial attack.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>PF [player_tooltip player_id='2419750' first='Parker' last='Miller'] | Ballard</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Miller is an athletic forward with good hands and a non-stop motor that he uses to compete on the glass and finish around the rim. He has soft touch and his footwork continues to improve. He provides some rim protection on the defensive end and is a good enough athlete to switch onto smaller players without getting lost.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>PG [player_tooltip player_id='2419752' first='Hayden' last='Schulte'] | Indianola</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Indianola was extremely young last season, with four freshmen seeing a lot of playing time, including Schulte, a 5-10 point guard who likes to get his teammates involved. He thrives when he's playing downhill and attacking the rim, using his handles and change of pace to get by defenders.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SF [player_tooltip player_id='2419755' first='Tillman' last='Papcun'] | Norwalk</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A lanky wing who can put the ball on the floor and get to the rim for finishes, as well as knock down shots off the catch, Papcun is a versatile two-way player who can defend multiple positions and do a little bit of everything offensively.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SF [player_tooltip player_id='2419808' first='George' last='Blake'] | Indianola</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 6-2/6-3 wing led the Indians in scoring as a freshman, averaging 10.2 points a game and showing the ability to score from all three levels. He has good size and length on the wing and is continually improving as an all-around offensive weapon.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SF [player_tooltip player_id='2419825' first='Nic' last='Stone'] | Washington</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 6-2/6-3 wing was one of the best shooters in the 2027 class last season, knocking down 38.1% of his 3-point attempts for the Demons en route to 8.0 points and 2.4 rebounds a game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SG [player_tooltip player_id='2420802' first='Audric' last='Pelzer'] | Norwalk</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pelzer is another weapon in a talented 2027 Norwalk class, a sharpshooting guard who can play with or without the ball in his hands. He moves well without the ball and is a skilled shooter off the catch, and he can create plays off the dribble for his teammates.<br><br><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Other ranked prospects in attendance<br></span></strong>SF [player_tooltip player_id='2419810' first='Easton' last='McGraw'] | Indianola<br>SG [player_tooltip player_id='2419814' first='Thomas' last='DeWall'] | Indianola<br>PG [player_tooltip player_id='2420790' first='Cooper' last='Huston'] | Dallas Center-Grimes<br>PF [player_tooltip player_id='2420789' first='Emerson' last='Bridgewater'] | Madrid<br>SG [player_tooltip player_id='2420798' first='Griffin' last='Glynn'] | Kuemper Catholic<br>SG [player_tooltip player_id='2420805' first='Dylan' last='Schon'] | Kuemper Catholic<br>SF [player_tooltip player_id='2419848' first='Logan' last='Atherton'] | Norwalk</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
