Indiana Basketball All-Star Classic Junior Games – Stock-Risers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The annual Indiana Basketball All-Star Classic is underway at Anderson University with the first two games of the day officially in the books. Several of the state's top rising seniors, Class of 2025 prospects, went head-to-head in the first two contests with a lot of excitement in both matchups. Game One went to Team Red as they took down Team White 76-60. Then, in Game Two, Team Red won once again by a final score of 100-81. Before the Future Games, featuring some of the top talent from the Classes of 2026 and 2027 tip-off this evening, let's take a look at some of the under-the-radar standouts from the Junior Games.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1297056"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-666cb6898ad9c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This talented 6'0" guard from South Bend Riley High School had a breakout performance at Thursday's Indiana Basketball All-Star Classic. Barbara finished with 13 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 assists doing a little bit of everything while helping lead Team Red to a 100-81 victory. He is a high IQ guard that can play both on or off of the ball effectively. Whether he was getting to the rim and finishing or shooting jump shots, Barbara found a way to impact the game consistently on the offensive end.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Ethan Edwards","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'4u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77245","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Clay City","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-666cb6898aeba"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Admittedly, this was our first time getting to see Edwards play. He put up some big numbers for Clay City High School this past season as a junior and shined once again against some great competition at the Indiana Basketball All-Star Classic. Edwards had the highlight of the entire day with a poster-worthy dunk in transition and finished with 11 points and 4 rebounds on perfect 5-5 shooting from the field. Under-the-radar prospect for small college coaches to add to their list.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2391222"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-666cb6898af1f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An intriguing under-the-radar big man in Indiana's Class of 2025, King had an excellent performance in the Indiana Basketball All-Star Classic. He showcased his offensively versatility on Thursday stretching the floor and knocking in a couple of three-point shots while also using his size to score around the rim. The 6'6" forward/center finished with 15 points and 6 rebounds in the contest. He is one that small college programs should make a point of watching at Charlie Hughes next weekend and through the month of July.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1749329"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-666cb6898af61"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Love really played well for Team White in a loss in the first game of the day at the Indiana Basketball All-Star Classic. The 5'11" guard from Wes-Del High School, who averaged 15.5 points per game as a junior, led his team in scoring on Thursday with 14 points while also dishing out 3 assists and collecting 3 steals. He used some physicality off of the dribble to play through contact and consistently score at the end of his drives. Impressive performance for him playing against a high level of competition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2277819"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-666cb6898af9c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the stars for Team Red as they stated the day off at the Indiana Basketball All-Star Classic with a 76-60 win, this University High School product scored 14 points on impressive 6-8 shooting. McComb showed off his athleticism with several great finishes at the end of his drives. The 6'2" guard can get up and play around the rim which allows him to finish against bigger defenders. He is a highly skilled player that really came on strong through his junior season and should continue to breakout as a college prospect throughout the rest of this summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1928411"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-666cb6898afd5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sims has already started to make a name for himself cracking the Top 100 in the Prep Hoops Indiana prospect rankings and garnering the attention of some small college coaches throughout the spring. However, he showcased on Thursday at the Indiana Basketball All-Star Classic why he probably deserves to continue garnering more attention. The versatile 6'6" forward finished with 13 points while shooting 5-7 from the field and 2-3 from beyond the arc. His two-way versatility is really impressive.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
