Nike EYBL Roundup – Indy Heat

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Memorial Day Weekend featured the third session of EYBL play with a trip to Kansas City, Missouri. Mesa, Arizona and Memphis, Tennessee, during the live period, were the previous two stops. [program_tooltip program_id='2076927' first='Indy' last='Heat'], Indiana's EYBL program, has attended all three sessions at the 17u level while the 15u and 16u teams competed in both Memphis and Kansas City. Let's take a look at how our prospects within the [program_tooltip program_id='2076927' first='Indy' last='Heat'] program are doing. Then, in a separate article, we will highlight the Indiana-based prospects that play for other EYBL programs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[program_tooltip program_id='2076927' first='Indy' last='Heat'] 17u</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Admittedly, this group is struggling a bit this spring. They are just 2-9 through three sessions after going 0-4 in Kansas City. Let's take a look at how the in-state prospects are fairing on an individual basis.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1565984' first='Keriawn' last='Berry'] (Avon H.S. 2026) - 11.4 points per game.

Miller's rebounding average puts him sixth overall on the EYBL Circuit. It is good to see him shooting the ball pretty well from three-point range as well. If he can continue that into the summer months more offers should come his way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1561135' first='Keaton' last='Aldridge Jr'].

They won the 16u bracket at the annual Bill Hensley Memorial Run N Slam and have gone a perfect 8-0 in EYBL play.
