<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Prep Hoops Indiana Staff was in the house for the third and final day of Havoc in the Heartland and got to see some big time performances. Here are my standouts from Sunday's portion of Havoc in the Heartland part 1.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2382152"],"_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-6820dcfa8cf0b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">When it comes to the in-state 2028 class, a name that continues to look more and more as player that is going to be one of the top guards in that class is [player_tooltip player_id='2823963' first='Kyron' last='Johnson']. Got another chance to see Johnson for Era Elite 2028 and was once again impressed with his playmaking ability. He knows how to control the pace of a game and can make plays with his scoring and facilitating. A good feel for the game. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2819672"],"_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-6820dcfa8cf6a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I am always a fan of players that play with a high motor and do all the little things well and that is why [player_tooltip player_id='2819672' first='James' last='Hannigan'] is a standout player for me. Playing for Era Elite 2028, Hannigan showed non-stop hustle when he was on the floor diving for loose balls and willing to fight for rebounds. Played a little bit of post for Era Elite and showed a smooth midrange jumper and floater. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2411078"],"_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-6820dcfa8cfb1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Carmel Greyhounds have a nice young core coming up the ranks and [player_tooltip player_id='2411078' first='Jaxen' last='Bennett'] looks to be one of those cornerstone pieces. Playing for [program_tooltip program_id='2847679' first='Refined' last='Indiana'] 15u, I was impressed with his ability to play the lead guard spot well. A true floor general that plays with energy while also being able to hit the outside shot at a good rate right now. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2830455"],"_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-6820dcfa8cff2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Willing was one of the more intriguing players that played at Havoc in the Heartland this past weekend. Playing for [program_tooltip program_id='2847679' first='Refined' last='Indiana'] 15u, he immediately stood out due to his natural height and size. While he is still is raw in some areas, he does a good job of getting boards on both ends. He does have a soft touch around, as well. He is one to watch for the next couple of years. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2836937"],"_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-6820dcfa8d030"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">When [program_tooltip program_id='2847679' first='Refined' last='Indiana'] 15u needed a big bucket, it seemed like [player_tooltip player_id='2836937' first='Ethan' last='Goodwin'] was the guy. While he is on the smaller end right now, he was one of the better shooters I watched on the day on Sunday at Havoc in the Heartland. He is more of catch-and-shoot type of guard but is not afraid of attacking the lane as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2560646"],"_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-6820dcfa8d06d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the more productive guards I watched on Sunday at Havoc in the Heartland was [player_tooltip player_id='2560646' first='Sunjay' last='Narsinghani'], who played for Pro Skills Basketball 2027. He is more comfortable as a shooter but showed some good court vision and overall basketball IQ. Was scrappy on the defensive end and just played with good energy. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2140407"],"_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-6820dcfa8d0aa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I have seen Crim a few times up to this point and one thing I will always like about him is how tough he plays, even with his smaller size. A player that is comfortable with the ball in his hands, Crim can make plays and is a really good shooter with space. He is just very productive for [player_tooltip player_id='2860120' first='Midwest' last='Stars'] 16u. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2816200"],"_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-6820dcfa8d0e6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the few out-of-state players that I got to watch over the weekend was [player_tooltip player_id='2816200' first='Cole' last='Oram'], who was playing for Kentucky Future Elite 16u. He was one of the more confident shooters I watched on Sunday and overall just played aggressively. Made some big plays down the stretch when his team needed him to. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
