Prep Hoops Live: Indiana Next Gen

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Despite its Chicago area location. The Prep Hoops Live event featured a heavy Hoosier state bent. Following are five Indiana standouts from Saturday action.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3598491' first='Tyler' last='Causley'] 6-1 2029 Kokomo (pictured) </strong>Playing up an age group with an Illinois squad. Causley played both ends of the court with manic energy. Frequently gettting his hands into passing lanes and forcing turnovers. Turned offense into defense quickly and was explosive in transition. Finishes above the rim with ease already at 6-1. Had a big dunk against a team from Michigan that established the tone early. Also showed a smooth stroke from beyond the arc by hitting two threes.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3594855' first='Charlie' last='Bailey'] 6-8 Concordia Lutheran </strong>The breakout performer of the day for this scout. Simply put from just an eye test, this prospect clears every hurdle with room to spare. Has a highly projectable and legitimate 6-8 frame. Very fluid athlete who runs the court well and showed above average lateral quickness. Handles and passes the ball well. Especially for a player with his size. Good shooter who calmly hit a three in the game I watched. Is able to make adjustments and hang in the air on acrobatic finishes. Everything I described sounds like a wing who likes to float on the perimeter. That is not the case here. Bailey had no problem with contact and mixed it up down low. The Fort Wayne area prospect has a huge ceiling.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2442351' first='Chase' last='Albrecht'] 6-0 2029 Goshen Northridge </strong>Coming off a big weekend in Lafayette. Albrecht stayed hot in the Central time zone. Hit four threes on his way to a 21 point outing. Much more than just a standstill shooter. Stayed in motion off the ball and relocated into open shots. Gets it off quickly after the catch. Also showed potential as ball handler and playmaker. Didn't mind contact and played with strength.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3033218' first='Nolan' last='Nehrt'] 6-3 Brownstown Central </strong>When I last saw this prospect, he was struggling a bit against a jumbo frontline from Progeny. Flipped the script and had a strong game against Midwest Bobcats. Attacked the basket hard with his strong 6-3 frame. Walled up well and provided rim protection. Is good with the ball his hands and can initiate offense out of the high post. Part of balanced [program_tooltip program_id='2076166' first='Grand' last='Park Premier'] White squad. Finishing with 10 points in the victory.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3593738' first='Yulander' last='Wells'] III 6-2 2030 South Bend</strong> No school listed here, as Wells has yet to step foot in a high school. You wouldn't know it by just watching the game. Has a well developed upper body that complements the athletic frame. Seeks out contact on penetration and has the strength to finish through it. Good ball handling aids the drive game and helps him get to his spots on the perimeter. Rises easily over defenders in the mid range. Has nice touch om his shot with a well schooled release. Is a lefty but is good with the right hand as well. Bright future for this prospect who led Team Soil (along with Albrecht) to a 2-0 record on the day. <br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
