<p>Taylor has boosted his stock with a strong junior year after making the move over to Perspectives. Dynamic scoring guard that loves to slice and dice through the defense where he uses his excellent body control at the cup. Plus athlete that is so quick off the bounce. Flashes as a shot maker. The area of growth that has elevated him the most is his ability to make those around him better with his passing.</p>

<p>Shavers made a massive jump up the board with a strong showing in December. Combo guard that has deep range on his shot including hitting six of them when we saw him at [program_tooltip program_id='2078408' first='Team' last='Rose']. He can also attack getting downhill and to the line.</p>

<p>Previous Ranking: #84<br>Current Ranking: #75</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<p>Welch has become the top option for Moline as a junior. He has elevated the play of those around him while putting up big numbers. Plus shooter that plays with swagger making heat checks from deep one after another. Shifty ball handler who is crafty with floaters and sweepers at the rim. Lives at the foul line. Crisp passer with high IQ.</p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Chittaro has been rock solid for St. Ignatius this season. The junior has played his role as a defender, connective passer, and spot up shooter. Been an x-factor for Iggy all year!</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2323606' first='Asa' last='Harris'] (Leo)</strong></p>
