Pangos: Scotty B’s 2028 Wing Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Pangos All-Midwest Frosh/Soph Camp is one of the best chances to see young talented prospects from the state.&nbsp; PHI had Steve Parham at the event in person all weekend and has been posting coverage.&nbsp; I wasn't able to make it in person, but went back to watch the first game of every single player in the event on Baller TV.&nbsp; That is what is represented in these evaluations.&nbsp; Here is <strong>Pangos: Scotty B's 2028 Wing Standouts</strong>!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SG [player_tooltip player_id='2125627' first='Ethan' last='Vahl'] (Oswego – 2028)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Vahl is on the short list of the top prospects in the 2028 class.&nbsp; The 6'2” shooting guard has all the tools to be a high-major recruit down the line.&nbsp; He is a feathery shooter that poured them in from three knocking in four of them in the game I saw.&nbsp; Also has an excellent passing feel finding teammates in the half court and transition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SF [player_tooltip player_id='2531974' first='Braydon' last='Porter'] (Yorkville – 2028)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This 6'3” wing is one of the more intriguing incoming freshman that we have seen early in the process.&nbsp; Powerful and athletic slasher that is super explosive getting downhill in both transition and the half court.&nbsp; Burst with the ball and has some shake getting past his defender.&nbsp; Threw down some massive dunks and won off the dribble with his size, strength, and athleticism.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SF [player_tooltip player_id='2538631' first='Grant' last='Smith'] (Lyons – 2028)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Smith emerged in July, broke out at the Prep Hoops Freshman Showcase, and established himself as one of the best wings in his class at Pangos.&nbsp; The 6'4” athletic forward shined on both ends of the floor with his high motor.&nbsp; Finishes with athleticism at and above the rim.&nbsp; Big transition dunks, sweeping layups, and reverse scores.&nbsp;&nbsp; Sound shooter from the baseline and mid-range with a free and easy release. Defensively he rebounded at a high rate, pushed it in the open floor, and found teammates as a passer.&nbsp; Can really block shots with excellent timing.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SG [player_tooltip player_id='2632077' first='Jeremiah' last='Weatherford'] (Rich Township – 2028)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Weatherford is a 6'0” shooting guard that really shined in the game we saw.&nbsp; First thing that stands out is the physical profile with this long and athletic wing.&nbsp; Has projectability to continue to grow.&nbsp; He is super explosive in transition getting to the rim.&nbsp; Sweeping layups, wins on straight line takes, and is slippery through defenders with his handle getting to the rack.&nbsp; Can even post up a little for guard.&nbsp; Gets to the line at a nice clip.&nbsp; Moves his feet laterally on the defensive end staying in front of his man.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SF [player_tooltip player_id='2542413' first='Alvin' last='Robinson'] III (Lincoln Park – 2028)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Robinson is a broad shouldered 6'3” wing with good length and athleticism.&nbsp; Has some tools to work with as he showed a crisp handle and smooth release on perimeter jumper out to three.&nbsp; Quality defender that has lock down potential.&nbsp; One of the more intriguing wings in the class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SG [player_tooltip player_id='2540198' first='Terrence' last='Davis'] (Libertyville – 2028)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This wing broke on the scene in June and had a really strong showing in the camp.&nbsp; Long and lanky wing that got wherever he wanted on the floor effortlessly.&nbsp; Slick takes to the rim with creative handles.&nbsp; Also was a good passer with pocket passes and dishing out multiple dimes in the game we saw.&nbsp; Smooth pull up jumper from mid-range.&nbsp; Rangy defender.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SF DeAndre Higgs (Thornton – 2028)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Higgs is a 6'2” wing with broad shoulders and long arms that should continue to grow.&nbsp; Like the raw strength and his ability to finish around the hoop with dunks and through contact.&nbsp; Plus finisher in transition.&nbsp; High level rebounder that snatches them in bunches.&nbsp; We saw growth even in the last month with his handles and the jumper from three looked clean coming off his hands.&nbsp; Also hit a cutter in stride on his way to the hoop.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SF [player_tooltip player_id='2532031' first='Roosevelt' last='Thomas'] (De La Salle – 2028)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Thomas is a thick bodied 6'3” wing that is a powerful slasher.&nbsp;

At this stage his biggest strength is his creative ball handling and smoothness getting to the cup off the bounce.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>SG Cian Paulsen (Nazareth – 2028)<br></strong><br>The 6'1” shooting guard has nice size and uses it to finish well around the hoop.&nbsp;
