<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Last Dance was held over the weekend in Chicago.&nbsp; PHI was in the house for it all.&nbsp; We will have coverage all week from the event including here in <strong>The Last Dance: Illinois 2027 PGs/Combos!</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><br><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2125612' first='Devin' last='Cleveland'] ([program_tooltip program_id='2452456' first='Mac' last='Irvin Fire'])</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cleveland is one of the top 2027 prospects in the state.&nbsp; He played up on the Fire 2026 team which played up as well on the 17U level in this event.&nbsp; Cleveland is a long and rangy combo guard that has a world of potential.&nbsp; He has a projectable frame with the ability to play both on and off the ball.&nbsp; Big time scorer that when he needs to take it to another level he has that gear.&nbsp; Plus shot maker from three that at times struggled, but overall was pretty good with the jumper from three.&nbsp; Free and easy release off the catch with the ability to score on crisp pullups as well.&nbsp; Took and made some really tough shots.&nbsp; Slick ball handler that can get to the rack and score just about as well as anyone with his nifty finishing game.&nbsp; Elite high-major target.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2125677' first='Reggie' last='Stevens'] ([program_tooltip program_id='2078408' first='Team' last='Rose'])</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stevens had a monster weekend re-establishing himself among the better guards in the class after he only played limited minutes as a freshman.&nbsp; Combo that can really shoot the rock which he did at a very high level all weekend hitting threes in bunches throughout the event.&nbsp; It was his consistent three point shooting along with his athleticism that really stood out!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2323606' first='Asa' last='Harris'] ([program_tooltip program_id='2078408' first='Team' last='Rose'])</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Harris is a smaller guard that we loved the tenacity that he showed.&nbsp; The Leo guard is a pesky on ball defender with active hands and moves his feet creating turnovers.&nbsp; Also like the mid-range game with his quickness off the dribble and how he can get in there for pull ups.&nbsp; Solid passer and decision maker on the move.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2383925' first='Dariontez' last='Monroe'] ([program_tooltip program_id='2075532' first='Illinois' last='Bears'])</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Monroe is one of the underrated 2027 guards in the state.&nbsp; He is a strong and stocky left handed floor general that can really score with his speed and craftiness around the hoop.&nbsp; Pushes in the open floor and it was his pin point passing that stood out the most in their game against [program_tooltip program_id='2078408' first='Team' last='Rose'] as he hit his big men over and over for scores.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2455378' first='Ed' last='Williams'] ([program_tooltip program_id='2452456' first='Mac' last='Irvin Fire'])</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Williams is a smaller guard from Lindblom that had a monster close to the even on Sunday for the Fire.&nbsp; He scored 26 points playing up against Minnesota Fury.&nbsp; It was the best scoring game we have seen out of him in his young career.&nbsp; Williams is a shifty ball handler that got in the lane not only scoring for himself, but kicking to shooters for open looks.&nbsp; Williams was effective knocking down threes of his own as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2125687' first='Travis' last='Brown'] ([program_tooltip program_id='2078448' first='Illinois' last='Wolves'])</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brown was excellent all weekend.&nbsp; The West Aurora 2027 guard made a super strong case to be one of the top guards in his class in our fall rankings unveiling.&nbsp; Long and rangy frame with speed to burn.&nbsp; He can get to the rim with his speed and slithery drives over and over again.&nbsp; Pushes so well in transition and finishes with acrobatics in the lane.&nbsp; Also really liked what we saw out of him in the mid-range with how well he shot it on pull ups in the 15-18 foot range.&nbsp; Monster weekend for Brown.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2455399' first='Myles' last='Montgomery'] ([program_tooltip program_id='2078448' first='Illinois' last='Wolves'])</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Montgomery is a small guard from Sacred Heart Griffin who brings shake off the bounce getting in the lane for acrobatic scores.&nbsp; Solid three point shooter that is also quick with his hands on the defensive end.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2425956' first='Perry' last='Tchiegne'] (M14 Adidas)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tchiegne is a long and rangy guard that plays taller than his listed height.&nbsp; In the game against the Wolves he more than held his own with his playmaking feel getting others involved with his passing and smooth ball handling.&nbsp; Scored most of his points in the lane on acrobatic finishes or getting to the line.&nbsp; Projectable prospect to track.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
