Toyota Classic Under the Radar Prospects | Wood Memorial Site

With the first semester over and the holiday's right around the corner, Holiday Tournaments are in full force. The Toyota Classic has been a main staple of holiday tournaments in Southwest Indiana for the last 25 years. With the tournament being hosted at two sites for the first two rounds, I was able to see all four games at Wood Memorial on Monday between Danville, Evansville Central, Gibson Southern, and Wood Memorial. Here are the Under the Radar Prospects from those four teams:   Danville   [player_tooltip player_id='2622074' first='Carter' last='Ward']: The 5'11” Junior Guard got going early and often for the Warriors in their Game One loss to Wood Memorial. He's a physical guard that plays through contact well while staying on balance. He plays off two feet in the lane where he showed the ability to finish with both hands around the basket with soft touch. When he wasn't taking advantage of his driving abilities he was able to calmly knock down shots the from the perimeter with a clean, smooth stroke. With his strength, he was a good defender with good anticipation skills as he was able to get away with three steals in the game   Stats: 20 Points | 3 Rebounds | 3 Steals   [player_tooltip player_id='3266545' first='Esaias' last='Ennin']: The worry 6'2” Sophomore Forward impacted the game off the bench in the Game Two loss to Evansville Central. After Danville started the game going 1-16 from the floor, Ennin checked in and immediately changed the game on the defensive glass, as well as with his energy. He's raw offensively, but plays with a high motor and is a good rebounder that can finish around the basket off misses.   Stats: 13 Points | 4 Rebounds | 2 Assists | 1 Steal   Evansville Central   [player_tooltip player_id='3037591' first='Milen' last='Garnett']: In the two game on Monday, Garnett played to his full potential. The physical left-handed junior wing played with energy and effort that I haven't seen out of him, and it propelled him to being one of the best players on the floor. He's a heavy left driver that creates contact and plays through it. He's comfortable out on the perimeter where he can bully his way to the basket, but he's at his best around the free throw line where he can make his move quickly and get to the basket. His jump shot continues to improve from the perimeter and is becoming a player you can't leave open. When he plays with high effort he's a high level rebounder that can rip and run in transition. Defensively, he's a versatile defender with a long wingspan that helps him stay in front of perimeter players while strong enough to bang down low.   <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/12/IMG_5864-rotated-crop-4284x2813-1766520270.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/12/IMG_5864-rotated-crop-4284x2813-1766520270.jpeg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-3266459" /></a></figure>     Stats: 15 Points | 4 Rebounds in loss to Gibson Southern | 23 Points | 8 Rebounds in win over Danville   [player_tooltip player_id='2964484' first='Wyatt' last='Plisky']: High energy forward that impacts the game on both ends of the floor. Relentless motor that goes after every rebound with two hands. He's a fluid athlete that runs the floor in transition and possesses good hands that catches everything. Offensively he's a threat 15 feet and in. Soft touch that finishes with both hands, and when he gets fouled, he knocks down his free throws.   Stats: 12 Points | 4 Rebounds in loss to Gibson Southern | 14 Points | 11 Rebounds | 2 Blocks in win over Danville   Gibson Southern   [player_tooltip player_id='3266681' first='Knoxx' last='Lamb']: The shifty Junior combo guard has made huge strides since the Fall. Not the biggest guard, but his handle to go with his quick burst makes him a tough cover off the bench. Supreme self confidence in going out and making play. He's a capable three-point shooter, but thrives getting to the midrange. For his size, he has athleticism that really pops. He gets off the floor in a hurry which allows him to stop and rise up over defenders with his shot or get all the way to the basket and finish among the bigs.   <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/12/IMG_5866-rotated-crop-3024x1986-1766592882.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/12/IMG_5866-rotated-crop-3024x1986-1766592882.jpeg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-3268746" /></a></figure>     Stats: 16 points in win over Wood Memorial   [player_tooltip player_id='2891750' first='Reece' last='Runyan']: The 6'2” Junior Guard has hit his stride early in this season and playing extremely well. Fluid athlete that can play on or off the ball. Really good decision maker that doesn't force the issue. Capable of shooting off the catch or off the dribble. He does a great job of staying on balance. He's crafty with the ball getting in the lane and has a knack for getting fouled and converts from the line at a high clip. High IQ team defender that is opportunistic when going for steals. Long and athletic enough to potentially be a lock down defender.   <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/12/IMG_5868-rotated-crop-4284x2813-1766595210.jpeg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/12/IMG_5868-rotated-crop-4284x2813-1766595210.jpeg?w=800" alt="" class="wp-image-3268773" /></a></figure>     Stats: 14 points in win over Danville | 15 points in win over Wood Memorial   [player_tooltip player_id='3268799' first='Peyton' last='Johnson']: Don't let his counting stats fool you, the 6'3” Junior Forward impacts the game more than the scorebook will tell you. He's a physical athlete that plays with a high motor. Multi-sport athlete that moves really well and is capable of guarding multiple spots on the floor. He's a good rebounder with his size and strength. Offensively he's still a bit raw, but cleans up the offensive glass and is an exceptional pick and roll player that can catch any pass and finish through contact.   Stats: 2 Points | 4 Rebounds | 1 Block in win over Danville | 6 Points | 3 Rebounds | 1 Block in win over Wood Memorial   Wood Memorial   [player_tooltip player_id='2625556' first='Parker' last='Conder']: One of my favorite players to cover in the area, the 6'5” Senior Forward has an unorthodox game, but is really productive when he's fully engaged. He's an inside-out forward that can do a lot of different things on the court. Has become more athletic this season where he is finishing above the rim. He's a capable ball handler that can play out of pick and rolls, and has good court vision with his height that can see over the defense. He's a capable three-point shooter off the catch, but would classify him more as a scorer than a shooter.   Stats: 12 Points | 10 Rebounds in win over Danville | 11 points in loss to Gibson Southern
