<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2731892' first='Jorden' last='Meyer'] | SG | West Lyon<br></strong><em>The move: 137 to 57</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Meyer was one of the breakout stars of the state tournament in March, an eye-popping athlete who loves to play downhill and use his athleticism and physicality to finish through contact at the bucket. He averaged 15.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 3.0 assists per game as a junior, and the Wildcats are going to be his team as a senior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1765505' first='Parker' last='Berns'] | PG | Waterloo West<br></strong><em>The move: 81 to 60</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Berns was really good as a junior for the Wahawks, and has put together a productive spring and early summer. He's a quick-twitch guard who can play downhill and use his speed to attack the rim, but he's also a dangerous shooter off both the dribble and the catch from 3. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1978111' first='Jake' last='Pargeon'] | SG | Urbandale<br></strong><em>The move: 79 to 65</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An athletic, lanky lefty who can play with or without the ball in his hands, Pargeon is a skilled two-way player who uses his length effectively on both ends of the floor. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2724147' first='Gilbert' last='Flagel'] | SF | Pella Christian<br></strong><em>The move: 191 to 72</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While some other players have garnered more attention with their strong play throughout the spring, Flagel has kind of flown under the radar, but he's having a tremendous grassroots season as well. His 6-5/6-6 frame, combined with his shotmaking, length, and increased confidence as a ball-handler, make him an intriguing late-blooming option for college coaches to keep an eye on the rest of June and July. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2413626' first='Landon' last='De Stigter'] | SG | Western Christian<br></strong><em>The move: 157 to 109</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another intriguing wing who can really shoot it from the 3-point line, De Stigter came on strong down the stretch for the two-time defending champion Wolfpack last postseason, and he'll have a chance to step into a starring role as a senior. A long shotmaker with great size and a high IQ, he'll make some small school better throughout his college career. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
