Landon Hanson Landon Hanson 6'4" | SG Waukee | 2026 State IA has immense potential. His strong frame and freakish length make him a force in many areas of the game. He has elite footwork, speed, quick hands, leaping ability, and fluidity, which make him an absolute nightmare to be matched up against. He is one of the best defenders in the state, in my opinion, and it is mostly due to his elite athletic tools. He doesn’t just give opponents issues on the defensive end; he smothers them and makes every shot difficult. His tools also allow him to create many turnovers. He routinely nabs steals and blocks. He is great at being a game wrecker and completely ruining offenses’ plans because of how overwhelming his length and athleticism can be. He blows up offensive actions with his high defensive IQ and instincts. And one on one, he is the perfect player to stick on the other team’s top scorer. He isn’t only a defensive menace, though. His rebounding impact is very important to Waukee’s success as well. And he is great at finishing plays around the rim with his soft touch. And he has shown the ability to stretch the floor from three. His self-creation is also a slowly developing skill that he has showcased throughout this season.
