Prep Hoops Live: Standout 2028 And 2029 Versatile Forwards

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Prep Hoops Circuit hosted a Live event this weekend in the Chicago Land Area. I had the chance to take in 20+ games in Batavia which featured teams in the 15U and 16U divisions. Here we will take a look at a half dozen top versatile wings who stood out during the 3 days worth of play. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2950504"],"_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-6a0ce903332a6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lengthy point forward with intriguing positional size and ability to create advantage off the bounce. Used as a primary point guard at times during team's first game of weekend. Showed comfort handling against smaller defenders while getting downhill at a solid rate. Will make the extra pass once drawing help defense from inside to out. Had a smooth reverse layup in traffic and will contribute on the glass utilizing size and wingspan to advantage. Upside is here.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3594855"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":3644135,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6a0ce90333390"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Caught Bailey twice over the weekend and continued to impress in both games. Brings a high amount of versatility with size. True height and ball handling capability for mis match creations. Knocked down multiple spot up threes, is comfortable pushing the ball up the floor after rebounds, and showed activity on the glass to convert on second chance opportunities off of O boards. Utilized wing span to contest and block shots. A positionless prospect that will see stock continue to rise.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2839923"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":3644126,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6a0ce903333fc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lengthy wing that made smart reads and plays within team's offensive flow. Finished on the break in multiple transition opportunities. Showed great awareness to relocate after ball screening to create space and then knock down a three. Made another impact play to move without the ball while back door cutting and scoring for an easy lay in. Also converted on a couple tough baseline finishes off the glass. Liked the versatility from the Small Forward at York.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3564605"],"_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-6a0ce9033344f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Poised shooting guard/small forward that shows patience as a handler while being an effective play maker. Utilized ball screens under tight pressure and attacked downhill to draw contact. Made extra commit on drives to make kick outs for assists or saw cutters for scores. Comfortable pushing tempo off D boards and fighting through contact. Overall had solid 2 way activity with length.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3597905"],"_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-6a0ce9033349d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lengthy wing that works well in the open floor. Got loose on the break a couple of times in early morning game Saturday and made the most of his opportunities. Finished on a couple fast break lay ups while also turning defense into offense with a steal in the back court which led to a score. Overall brings energy, speed, and opportunistic scoring ability.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
