Lazo caught attention this weekend and deservedly so, emerging as a bright spot for Illinois Outwork. His confidence continued to build as the weekend went on, embracing a primary ball-handling role while being a scoring threat. He knocked down shots from around the perimeter, including a step-back three after creating separation with a slick crossover. He also attacked the basket off the bounce, stayed active moving without the ball, and delivered well-timed passes to create for teammates. A well-rounded offensive performance that should help raise his stock.

Another underrated 2027 kid on Illinois Outwork with his floor general capabilities. I’m a big fan of his creativity with the ball as well as his ability to be an effective shooter from all three levels. Flashes tons of confidence stepping into any shot on the floor. Even unfazed by trying to score through contact while also drawing fouls and converting free throws at a high clip.
