3SSB Palmetto Road Championships - Indiana Top Performers

A great week of basketball at the beautiful Rock Hill Sports and Events Center in Rock Hill, South Carolina is officially in the books. Prep Hoops Indiana had boots on the ground from the opening tip-off on Tuesday until the final buzzer on Sunday covering all of the action with several teams and players from the Hoosier state standing out on the big stage. Each evening, we recapped what we saw with Ramsey's Notebook, but now we will look back at the big picture and highlight the top performers from the state of Indiana at the 3SSB Palmetto Road Championships.    Daeger did what he does best throughout the week with Wildcat Select 16u as they went 6-1 at the 3SSB Palmetto Road Championships. The 6'3" sharpshooter capped things off with a dominant shooting performance going 6-8 from three-point range on his way to scoring 28 points. He finished the week shooting 20-41 (48.8%) from deep in seven games. Deager has good footwork on the perimeter showcasing the ability to work off of screening action, read the defense, and get himself squared and ready to shoot in a hurry. He also has a very quick release. One of the best catch-and-shoot threats in the state of Indiana.     This rising sophomore prospect generated a lot of national buzz. Gardner Jr. will likely find himself in the national rankings for the Class of 2027 whenever the next update comes around after proving himself as one of the top guards in the country at the 3SSB Palmetto Road Championships. His next-level explosiveness with the ball in his hands was eye-catching throughout the week as nobody at the 15u level could keep him from getting downhill to the rim. The 6'1" point guard from Fishers High School was laying it up possession after possession making it look easy even against some of the top competition in the country.     Phenom United 16u may be based out of Ohio, but they feature four prospects from Indiana including this 6'2" point guard from Pike High School. Hall had an excellent week in Rock Hill showing off his explosive athleticism off of the dribble and consistently getting downhill to the rim going left. He does such a good job off of the dribble of getting to his spots and then elevates to finish while drawing fouls at a high rate as well. Miami (OH) extended an offer to Hall on Saturday night after a great overall showing.     Another major stock-riser from the Hoosier state out in Rock Hill, Kirby landed a Ball State offer and was watched closely by several mid-major programs throughout the week. We all know how special of an athlete the 6'3" guard from Fishers High School is, but he displayed more than that at the 3SSB Palmetto Road Championships. Kirby was consistently attacking the basket off of the dribble beating closeouts to his right hand and then elevating to finish at the rim. His explosiveness helps him draw fouls at a high rate as well. There multiple double-doubles throughout the week as Kirby proved himself as a rebounder along with what he brings as an on-ball defender and shot-blocker from the guard spot.     Mullins carried a lot of the scoring burden in the Indiana Elite backcourt throughout the week. After losing their first two games in Rock Hill, which were also their first two losses of the entire grassroots season, Indiana Elite ended up making it to the 17u championship game in large part due to the play of this 6'5” shooting guard. Mullins shot 37.9% from three-point range on very high volume finishing 25 of 66 in seven games. He averaged 18.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game. While Mullins is a shooter/scorer first and foremost, he showed impressive growth as a ball handler and playmaker at the 3SSB Palmetto Road Championships. Adding some of that passing ability on top of the pressure he already puts on opposing defenses as a perimeter shot-maker will really help him transition to the next level.     Another one of the top performers from the state of Indiana playing with Phenom United, Reynolds III solidified himself as a Top 75 level prospect in the Class of 2026 during the week in Rock Hill. He is a talented shot-maker with the ability to create his own from all three levels. Reynolds is also a very good passer with some impressive vision and advanced processing that sees the play developing in advance. Still, the 6'5" guard is at his best as a scorer. He has the requisite size and length for his position and will only continue to improve as he gets physically stronger.     Shrewsberry came right out of the gate on Tuesday afternoon in Rock Hill making eight three-point shots and scoring 26 points in a win for [program_tooltip program_id='2400093' first='Indiana' last='Elite Team Tradition'] 16u. The 6'4" shooting guard had several more strong performances from beyond the arc proving himself as one of the top catch-and-shoot threats in Indiana's Class of 2026. He can make them from deep, gets them off very quick, and reads screening action well. Team Tradition proved they belonged on the big stage after qualifying for 3SSB play from the Adidas Gold Circuit and Shrewsberry was a big part of them looking the part.     There weren't many players in the country, let alone from the state of Indiana, that had a better trip to Rock Hill than this 6'8" forward/center from Jeffersonville High School. Singleton was a top national stock-riser creating buzz as a potential Top 150 prospect and earning high-major offers from the likes of Butler, Clemson, DePaul, and Louisville with more still likely to come his way. He was incredibly impressive off of the dribble showcasing the ability to begin the break after a rebound or attack closeouts in the half court. This added development to his game unlocks his elite passing ability even more. Singleton shot it well from three during the week as well while still displaying the same high-level physicality inside that originally made him a highly sought after prospect.     For the purposes of this post we will include Sisley with the Indiana guys despite his recent transfer to Montverde Academy in Florida. The 6'8" four-star forward played as well as we have seen him play in awhile out in Rock Hill. That obviously isn't to say he hasn't consistently been very good, because that is what makes him a Top 100 national prospect, but he took it to another level playing against the best of the best this week. Sisley provided some ball handling from the forward position for Indiana Elite, looked improved as a three-point shooting threat, and rebounded the ball consistently. His patented versatility was on full display as he helped lead his team to the 17u championship game.
