Conference Preview: West Suburban
The high school season is almost here in the state of Illinois! With that we look at some of the top conferences throughout the state and some of the prospects in those conferences! Today it is the West Suburban!
Pre-Season Player of Year
SF Zion Griffin (Hinsdale South)
Griffin is a prospect that exploded onto the high-major radar in July and eventually committed to Iowa State. He is a versatile combo forward at the high school level that is a mismatch with his ability to score inside with his strength, stretch the defense with his shooting, and make plays above the rim in transition. Expect a lot of double doubles from Griffin!
