Coming into the spring as a bit of a sleeper, Chartier emerged throughout the spring as a bona fide D1 prospect and showed he has one of the higher ceilings of anyone on the HGSL platform. In an era where size and shooting are in high demand at every level, Chartier fits that bill to a tee, bringing ideal height and length to the wing with as dynamic a perimeter jumper as you’ll find in the region. He’s able to connect in bunches with a versatile quick-release stroke and keen instincts for finding open space along the arc. Chartier also showed growth throughout the grassroots season in attacking closeouts off the bounce and using his size and length to mix it up near the rim on either end. He’s rightfully earned a steady barrage of D1 interest with upside to continue rising up the collegiate ranks as he matures into his frame and shows he can consistently flourish on a floor full of D1 talent.

Chartier averaged around 25 points this live period and showed off his full repertoire for his NE Storm HGSL squad. The 6-foot-6 wing has special shooting ability on the move and needs very little space or time to get decent shots off—he can shoot with elevation and in situations where he’s barely squared to the hoop. But he also does a great job driving closeouts and is seemingly having an easier time finishing in the paint with some added strength that’s he has put on. Chartier will walk into college hoops as a special shooter, but it’s his other abilities that’ll determine whether he can reach the mid-major or high-major level.

Talk about movement shooting. For a 6-foot-6 wing, Chartier gets into his shot off of movement as effectively as any player his size in New England. Though he’s slight, he’s able to run defenders off of screens and has beautiful footwork when it comes to stepping into his threes. He gets elevation if he needs to, and he has a quick and high wrist flick that allows him to shoot over opposing bigs. When needed, Chartier can also create his own three with the dribble and shoot over smaller guards and wings. He holds offers from UNH, Air Force, and Navy, but more could be coming for the rising Phillips Exeter senior.  

Chartier, a rising senior at Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire, has spent the last 12 months establishing himself as one of the region’s top perimeter shooters. While his ability to make shots as a movement shooter is his calling card, he impresses with his feel as an off ball cutter and uses his length to finish above the rim over help defenders. He’s done a nice job of adding to his frame and the results are noticable as he’s playing through contact with increased athleticism. Defensively, he has good instincts as a rim protector when coming from the help side and can defend wings and forwards. After a terrific spring live period, that included a game with 10 made threes, Chartier pick up offers from Air Force and New Hampshire.

Chartier got off to a somewhat rocky start in the game I watched, but as the contest progressed, he settled in and began to make a much bigger impact. He was not shy about letting shots fly from beyond the arc and, while he was somewhat volume-oriented as a shooter, he connected on several three-pointers and showed the confidence needed to be a perimeter threat. What makes Chartier particularly intriguing is his blend of size, length, and skill. Those physical tools, combined with his ability to stretch the floor, make him an appealing prospect for college coaches evaluating long-term upside. He has the framework of a player who should garner significant attention at the low-major level as he continues to develop. I would like to see Chartier continue improving his body and adding strength to better handle the physical demands of the next level. I would also like to see him become more active on the glass. There were too many instances where he appeared content to watch the play unfold rather than getting involved in the rebounding battle. If he increases his activity level in that area and consistently impact possessions beyond his shooting, it will only enhance his overall value as a prospect.

The first time I saw Christian was last year during the first scholastic live period at Babson, I could tell after about watching the first few possessions that he was probably about a year away from clicking. His game really pops. Chartier is a fluid swingman who impresses playing on the perimeter. in the game I saw of him he made several three pointers and was playing like he was unconscious. He is agile on his feet for his size and has no issues getting in the mix for loose balls. Chartier has some athletic pop to his game. He also played above the rim when crashing the glass for 2nd chance efforts. Liked how he has good timing and always seemed to be in the proper spots on the floor to make things happen. He received a division one offer from New Hampshire after his strong weekend performance.

Chartier has been on a tear early this season for a NE Storm team that has crazy size and length. The 6-foot-6 wing is probably his squad’s best shooter, and he continues to impress me with the difficulty of shots he’s able to take and make. He does a really good job moving without the ball—knowing when to slip, curl, or refuse screens, for example—but he also makes shots off the dribble with heavy contests from defenders. You just don’t see high school players (especially his size) with the ability to movement shoot like he can. Chartier also continues to get stronger and more athletic, which will help him potentially garner some scholarship interest moving forward.

While McClure wasn’t feeling it from deep, Chartier picked up the slack for Phillips Exeter. The 6-foot-6 wing is a total flamethrower and somehow keeps getting better as a shooter every time I see him. For his size, he does a phenomenal job getting his feet set and is a true movement-shooter when it comes to flying off screens and stopping short in transition while still getting his shot off quickly. He has a beautiful release, and he’s tall with long arms. Oh, and he’s continuing to grow as a closeout attacker and rim finisher, though some added weight and strength would be huge for him there. I’m very high on Chartier and think he’ll turn heads for NE Storm this spring.

Chartier looks like he has a case to be Phillips Exeter’s best player and showed an extremely well rounded skillset against BBN on Saturday. Offensively, he looks more athletic than he did during the AAU season and is certainly more aggressive and relentless when it comes to attacking. He also shoots the ball well and always seems to be in the right spot. High level D3 schools should be super interested in Chartier as a prospect who could turn into a star for them down the line.

Chartier, a floor spacing hybrid forward out of Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire, showed out with his ability to knock down shots from behind the arc and attack bad closeouts as a rim finisher. Continuing a month-long heater from behind the arc, he showed a good understanding of how to get open off the ball and a budding ability to use a quick first step to get to the rim as a scorer. At 6’6″ with long arms and a lean frame, he has some nice tools on the defensive end of the floor that allow him to guard multiple positions and make plays in passing lanes that lead to transition opportunities.
