LaZerius Winbush LaZerius Winbush 6'1" | CG Mater Academy East Las Vegas | 2030 State NV rounds out the top five, and I have become a big fan of his. He is essentially a big guard who can overpower smaller defenders, but he also possesses the footwork and basketball IQ to create high-percentage scoring opportunities. When watching Winbush play, it’s hard not to notice the determination and competitive fire that he brings to the floor. He always plays with a hunger to win and isn’t afraid to impose his will on opponents. I also think there’s a strong argument that he is already the most physically powerful prospect in the class, particularly in terms of his strength in the weight room. That physical advantage should allow him to produce early in his high school career, and it’s intriguing to think about just how dominant he could become as he continues to develop over the next four years.

LaZerius Winbush LaZerius Winbush 6'1" | CG Mater Academy East Las Vegas | 2030 State NV is a class of 2030 prospect who I’ve seen play a few times now. He consistently makes an impact with his power, strength, and physicality. On offense, he can get downhill much like a running back. And isn’t an easy guard to bump off his line. He also goes up strong with it every time, and can convert lay-ups through contact. In addition to his production on offense, Winbush has a knack for making his matchup uncomfortable thanks to his relentless energy and active hands. Expect him to be a day 1 contributor with the Knights this upcoming season.
