Pocket City Fall League | Knicks Team Preview

The Pocket City Fall League returns for its 14th year, continuing its tradition as the premier fall basketball league in Southwest Indiana. Each fall, the league brings together talented players and programs from across the area for quality competition and an early look at teams ahead of the high school season. 63 players across nine teams in the top division of the fall league. Here is the Team Preview for the Knicks:    6'3” Left Handed 2027 Guard out of Evansville North that is a heavy left side driver that play with physicality. [player_tooltip player_id='3785964' first='Ethan' last='Clegg'] is best when he's playing in space. Attacks the glass on both ends and rebounds at a high level. Capable shooter off the catch when he is open. Versatile defender that plays with a high motor and can create chaos with his pressure and length.     One of the areas premier 2030 guards, [player_tooltip player_id='3664530' first='Quentin' last='Glisson'] of Evansville Memorial is a score first guard that's an excellent shooter and once he gets going, he's a tough cover. Comfortable playing on or off the ball, but is always in attack mode looking to create scoring opportunities for himself and others.     Fundamentally sound forward out of Boonville that knows his role and plays it as well as any player in the area. 6'3” 2027 Forward [player_tooltip player_id='3223793' first='Wyatt' last='Kuebler'] is the garbage man that rebounds at a high level, defends, and is a capable shooter off the catch that stretches the defense. He's a high motor player with good instincts on the defensive end and always seems to be in the right position.     Four Year Varsity Contributor for the Boonville Pioneers, [player_tooltip player_id='2140389' first='Jaxon' last='McKain'] is one of, if not the most versatile player in the area. Struggles a bit with his jump shot and teams know that, but he's a relentless downhill driver that absorbs contact and plays through it as well as anybody. He's a strong finisher around the basket and is an underrated playmaker for others off the dribble.     Arguably the top 2027 point guard in the area, [player_tooltip player_id='2140367' first='Greg' last='Pieterek'] of Evansville North is coming off a monster summer that really jumpstarted his recruitment. Physical high IQ guard that is best getting to basket but continues to improve with his perimeter jump shot. He can score in bunches and once he gets going, he's capable of putting up 30+ in any game.     Arguably the top prospect in the area for the class of 2030, 6'5” Wing [player_tooltip player_id='3667590' first='Jett' last='Swanson'] is as offensively gifted as any young prospect I've covered in the area. Long and fluid athlete that plays at his own pace and create his own mismatch. Good three-point shooter off the catch. Isn't the quickest or most athletic player, but can turn his drives into post ups and is really good with his midrange game.     Physical 2028 Center out of Princeton that will get his first meaningful varsity minutes this season. [player_tooltip player_id='3785970' first='Caleb' last='Velthouse'] is 6'6” and has the ability to impact games on both ends of the floor. The motor is in and out at times, but when he's engaged he's an excellent rebounder. A bit raw offensively, but is capable of doing the dirty work underneath and getting offensive putbacks, as well as being a good pick and roll player.     High Energy 2027 Guard out of Boonville that impacts the game defensively. Despite being only 6'0”, [player_tooltip player_id='2991363' first='Ian' last='Wahl'] is capable of guarding multiple positions with his length, quickness, and athleticism. Good rebounder from the guard spot that can push the tempo in transition and attacks hard. Jumpshot is streaky, but he's capable of knocking shots down when he's open.     Skilled 2027 Wing/Forward that battled injuries last season, but had an excellent June for the Princeton Tigers. At 6'5” [player_tooltip player_id='3669492' first='Gavin' last='Wright'] has all the makings of a matchup problem for the area. Good shooter off the catch that moves well without the ball and can get himself open. Also capable of putting the ball on the floor and getting to his midrange game.
