Continue ReadingThe annual Indiana Basketball All-Star Classic is underway at Anderson University with the first two games of the day officially in the books. Several of the state’s top rising seniors, Class of 2025 prospects, went head-to-head in the first two contests with a lot of excitement in both matchups. Game One went to Team Red as they took down Team White 76-60. Then, in Game Two, Team Red won once again by a final score of 100-81. Before the Future Games, featuring some of the top talent from the Classes of 2026 and 2027 tip-off this evening, let’s take a look at some of the top performances from the Junior Games.
It should come as no surprise that this Maconaquah High School wing stood out in the Indiana Basketball All-Star Classic. After all, he was one of the state’s leading scorers averaging 30.3 points per game as a junior. Ball shot it well on Friday morning which was good to see knocking in a three-point shot along with a couple mid-range pull-ups on his way to scoring 13 points. As he continues to become a more consistent shooting threat, along with what he can do around the basket with his size and athleticism, his game will really take off to the next level.
Jenkins did what he does best on Friday afternoon at the Indiana Basketball All-Star Classic. The sharp-shooting guard from Princeton High School was 3-6 from three-point range on his way to finishing with 15 points. His team came up short, but Jenkins had his typical shot-making ability on full display against some excellent competition from around the state. Any small college that needs backcourt help in the Class of 2025 and values shooting should make it a point to check out Jenkins at Charlie Hughes or in the month of July.
Highlights
Both of the Judge twins were good in the second game of the Indiana Basketball All-Star Classic, but Brode got the better of his brother in this one as Team Red won 100-81. The 6’5″ guard scored 18 points in the contest which included 4-11 shooting from three-point range. His positional size on the perimeter, along with his skill level, is really intriguing when projecting his game to the next level. Judge is a very good athlete as well. We continue to be very high on him as a prospect here at Prep Hoops Indiana and he looked the part in this All-Star setting.
One of the breakout performances of the day came from this Park Tudor product who poured in 21 points on 7-10, 3-4, 4-5 shooting splits to go along with 4 rebounds and 4 assists. The quick, left-handed guard obviously shot it very well from beyond the arc and was also effective off of the bounce creating plays both for himself and others. He is an athletic finisher with projectable length for the next level. Under-the-radar prospect to keep in mind as we gear up for the Charlie Hughes Showcase next weekend and then heading into the month of July.
Highlights
This Greensburg High School guard was on fire early in the morning game of the Indiana Basketball All-Star Classic and went on to finish with 12 points on perfect 4-4 shooting from three-point range. McKinsey has good size and strength for a guard and is already very comfortable in the mid-range and finishing at the end of his drives around the basket. Continuing to increase his percentage from deep, which he obviously showcased in this game, will really take his game to the next level. Led the Pirates in scoring as a junior.
Arguably the most impressive prospect in the gym at Anderson University on Friday, Townsend went off for a game-high 24 points in Game Two as his Team Red squad won 100-81. Townsend also finished with 8 rebounds and 4 assists in the game. The physical, 6’6″ wing was just too much for the opposition to handle off of the dribble as he consistently got downhill to the rim and finished inside. Look for his recruitment to really heat up in the month of July.
Warfield got off to a hot start and never looked back on Friday morning as he scored a team-high 15 points to lead Team Red to a 76-60 win in the Indiana Basketball All-Star Classic. The 6’2″ guard showed off his athleticism and ability to score both from the mid-range and at the rim. He is very quick with the ball in his hands, creates good separation, and gets great elevation on his jump shots. The Anderson High School product was also disruptive on the defensive end of the floor finishing with three steals.
