Continue ReadingIn this series we take a look at the potential candidates for Mr. Basketball in the state of Illinois for this upcoming season. Here we profile Metamora 2016 shooting guard Nate Kennell.
Profile:
Kennell elevated his game to new heights this past spring and summer. He is an elite shooter that might be the best pure perimeter shooter in the state. Where his game saw great advancements was off the bounce and his ability to score in more ways. Kennell is committed to Bradley.
Odds to Win:
15/1
Why he Can Win:
He very well could average more points per game than any player in the state of Illinois this season. It wouldn’t surprise us at all to see him post 30+ a contest. Last season he had some ridiculous scoring outputs and with his improved game that should continue if not increase as a senior.
Obstacles to Win:
Not a ton of high profile games will hurt the senior guard. He doesn’t play on a tradition powerhouse program that gets a ton of media attention although they have had several quality players over the years.
