It shouldn’t come as any surprise that we simply have to write about Zachary. In the second game of the evening he had a stretch that including making four progressively deeper and more difficult pull-up three-point shots off of the dribble. His ability to create separation on the perimeter and make tough shots is so impressive. The recent Florida Gulf Coast commit was, as usual, one of the best players in the gym all night long.

A flashy, high-level playmaker who makes creating offense look effortless. He consistently reads the defense well and delivers passes with either hand, showing the vision and creativity to set teammates up for quality opportunities. His ability to score and knock down difficult shots forces defenses to respect his own offensive game, which opens up even more opportunities for those around him. Despite being a smaller guard, he uses his skill, shot-making, and natural feel for the game to consistently create advantages and make life easier for his team.

I learned quickly during my evaluation of Cooper Zachery that he was a very good shooter on the move and off the dribble. You can put Cooper anywhere along the perimeter; he has the ability to knock down shots at an elite clip. At times during my evaluation, it seemed like Cooper couldn’t miss a perimeter shot. Looking over stats at the Adidas 3SSB in Bryan, Texas, Cooper is someone that can hit a good deal of three-pointers on high-efficiency shooting multiple attempts. Outside of his shooting, Cooper was a big factor in the playmaking category for the Midwest Basketball Club within the offensive flow.  Recently, Cooper committed to Florida Gulf Coast University, where I’m confident he will continue playing at a high level.

Midwest Basketball Club 17u fell in the semifinals on Saturday night, but they wouldn’t have advance out of the quarterfinals if it wasn’t for Zachary. He went on an offensive flurry late in regulation, ultimately forcing overtime and pulling out the victory, against Team Lillard 17u. Zachary scored on three consecutive possessions via a Spain ballscreen and then finished a tough driving left-handed layup to tie the game at the buzzer. He finished with 19 points in the victory.

Zachary has lit up nets across the country for both Fishers and Midwest Basketball Club 3SSB as the undersized guard is one of the top shooters in the country. Zachary has had some monster scoring games on the 3SSB circuit as his touch is absolutely unreal on contested shots. Add in the fact that Zachary contributes to winning on any team he’s on as Fishers, Midwest Basketball Club and Indiana Elite have had great success with him leading the way. Florida Gulf Coast and Cal Baptist are recent offers for Zachary but other mid-major programs have been tracking him for well over a year now. It will be interesting to see where Zachary ends up as he’s got some special offensive skill.

Down the stretch there was not a more clutch player on the floor than 2027 Fishers guard Cooper Zachary Cooper Zachary 5'10" | PG/CG Fishers | 2027 State #152 Nation IN . Although the Indiana Junior All-Stars came up short, Zachary gave them a fighting chance as the game winded down hitting some big threes (five total) and free throws. Throughout the game, he was just a magician with the ball with his elite handles and ability to find the open man in very tight spaces. He finished with 17 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists.

You can always count on Zachary to play as hard or harder than everyone else on the floor. That can especially stand out in an All-Star game setting. He was his typical self on Sunday shooting it in from three-point range, dicing the defense up with his passing ability, and leading his team to victory. Zachary connected on three three-point shots on his way to 11 points and 9 assists.
