Prospects
SLUH
Brandon McKissic 6’2″ (2017) – Athletic combo guard who attacks the basket relentlessly. Finished with a game-high 24 points. Excellent finisher at the rim and has started to knock down jumpers. Division I prospect with early offers from Missouri State and UMKC.
Matt Nester 5’11” (2016) – A four-year starter at point guard for the Jr. Bills. Solid ball handler and a real knock down shooter who can go off for big stretches. An excellent pick-up for Division III Washington University.
David Jackson 6’1″ (2016) – An athletic swing guard who is the Jr. Bills defensive specialist. Always guards the opposing team’s top scorer. Has really come into his own on offense during the postseason. Scored 20 points on attacking the basket, transition and hitting the offensive boards.
B.J. Wilson 6’7″ (2017) – Much improved post player who has a big body and uses it well in the lane. Had a quiet game offensively, but had a team-high seven rebounds. Has really improved his touch around the basket this season.
Timberland
Enrique Tankins 6’2″ (2016) – Physical shooting guard with a big body and an excellent skill set to go along with it. Impossible to knock off his dribble and he can get where he wants to go. Good mid-range shooter and can get to the basket. Finished with 12 points, five rebounds and three assists. Solid NAIA prospect, possibly D2.
Andrew Voss 6’8″ (2016) – Improved post player who enjoyed a very productive senior year. His length and timing enable him to be an effective shot blocker. Also displayed some good post moves. Needs to improve strength before moving on to the next level. NAIA, D3 prospect.
Jahwan Sims 6’1″ (2016) – Strong point guard who plays with good pace and gets to the basket on a consistent basis. Nice pull up jumper in the lane. Solid defender. Rebounded well from an ACL injury suffered as a junior.
Grady Daniels 6’3″ (2017) – Hard working post player who battled inside for 10 points and three rebounds. Posted up strong in the lane and had a couple of nice moves in the paint for buckets.
