Treshawn Blissett Treshawn Blissett 6'5" | SF Waubonsie Valley | 2024 State IL (M14 Adidas Gold)
Long and wiry wing that plays really hard on both ends of the floor. Offensively he excels in transition and off the bounce using his long strides to get to the rim for finishes. Improving as a shooter as he knocked them down at a decent clip throughout the weekend. Like what he brings as a defender and wing rebounder.
Will Ashford Will Ashford 6'5" | SF Metea Valley | 2024 State IL (M14 Adidas Gold)
Ashford elevated his stock with a big spring and summer. The Metea Valley wing is a well built small forward that is a quality spot up shooter who also has the strength to finish through defenders at the rim. Improving as a defender.
Miller is a shot making wing that is at his best when moving off the ball to get open for threes. He has a lightning quick release and consistent accuracy from beyond the arc. Passes pretty well for a wing and is an underrated athlete.
Isaac Billington Isaac Billington 6'1" | SG Benton | 2024 State IL ( Illinois Bears )
Billington came on strong to close out the summer for the Illinois Bears . The Benton 6’1” shooting guard brought it over the last two weeks with his crisp pull up game from mid-range and soft touch finishing game off the bounce. It is the 15-18 foot shot making you are buying here.
Aiden Hinton ( Illinois Bears )
Hinton was outstanding as he became the go to player for the Bears during the July live periods. Strong bodied 6’2” small forward has greatly improved as a perimeter shooter over the last year becoming a real threat off the catch. Can use his power on drives and is tough around the hoop on the glass and getting junk points.
Jordan Brooks Jordan Brooks 6'2" | SG West Aurora | 2024 State IL ( Illinois Attack )
Brooks was in his bag on Friday night recording 24 points making it look easy before he was shut down with an ankle injury. The West Aurora shooting guard is a lefty that can really shoot it off the catch and is a slick player in transition scoring off the bounce. Spinning layups and burst with the rock in his hands. Microwave scorer that was scorching hot in that game.
Lucas Westendorf ( Sky Ice Elite )
Sleeper guard from Dietrich that was productive in the second half of their Saturday morning contest. Took it coast to coast and was most effective getting downhill with his broad shoulders.
