Expert Analysis
Carey Smith | Prep Hoops Scout
Loper posted a monster freshman year in which he averaged 17 points along with 4 rebounds per game and dropped a season high 25 points (7 threes) on Samuel Fels. He followed that success up with a host of impressive performances on the spring grassroots circuit and at the LV Summer League. Loper’s primary weapon is his 3-point shot. He can hit triples from anywhere inside half-court. Loper’s quick trigger and the lift he gets while shooting, enables him to pop threes over taller defenders and even double teams. Loper can also operate as a point guard where his quick burst and elusive handles allow him to blow past initial defenders and then score or distribute. His ability to go coast-to-coast for bucket is remarkable. The trifecta of Loper’s confidence, poise and relentlessly attacking style is rare among 2028s.

Loper impresses with his ability to score from behind the arc. He does a nice job finding others. He can turn defense to offense by jumping passing lanes. He can play either guard spot. Loper looks to continue to develop going into his second year of varsity basketball.

Read EvaluationCarey Smith | Prep Hoops Scout
This freshman jumped right into the Raptors first five and tipped off the season by splashing 7 threes on his way to 25 points versus Samuel Fels. Since that breakout performance Loper has posted 21 points against Abington Heights as well as multiple 18-point efforts. When he is not lacing triples, Loper can use his quick first step and tight handles to score at the rim on the fast break as well as in the half-court. He is an attacking style guard who places constant pressure on opposing teams. For a 2028 his ability to finish through contact is impressive. Loper is an underrated rebounder too.
