This Taylor University commit was too much to handle both around the basket and when stretching the floor to the perimeter on Saturday afternoon. Indiana Basketball Club 17u picked up an impressive win over Murray Elite 17u with McCormack leading the way posting a big stat line of 15 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists. Normally it is his three-point shot that stretches the defense, but in this one it was his passing ability. He is a very good player with a high upside.

A 6’9″-6’10” left-handed big man who can stretch the floor out to three-point range is always going to be intriguing. McCormack has really started to pair some of his upside as a floor-spacer with improved interior finishing and rebounding ability. That led to increased production as a junior and a breakout spring that ultimately led to a committed to Taylor University. The Bishop Chatard rising senior was one of the top spring-stock risers with Indiana Basketball Club seeing his ranking up from #75 to #18.

Gotten to see the Bishop Chatard Forward several times in the last year and I have a feeling he is about to explode onto the scene. Skilled left handed forward that has the ability to stretch the floor from the perimeter. Has great length underneath that allows him to impact the game in the paint on the defensive end as a shot blocker as well as an improving rebounder.

While Bishop Chatard overall has had a rough season up to this point, they have one of the more intriguing prospects in junior big man Zach McCormack Zach McCormack 6'10" | C Indianapolis Chatard | 2027 State IN . At a long 6’10”, McCormack is a versatile big man with intriguing physical tools and skill. He is averaging over 10.0 points and 6.0 rebounds per game up to this point while also being impactful on the defensive end. A big man to keep an eye one this last month of the season.

One of the more impressive all-around players I watched last week was Bishop Chatard’s junior power forward Zach McCormack Zach McCormack 6'10" | C Indianapolis Chatard | 2027 State IN . I was real impressed with what he was able to do in the summer for Team Indiana on the AAU circuit and that carried into this high school season. Being a lanky 6-foot-10, McCormack has the length and skill to be a real mismatch being able to play in the post and stretch out to wing. He is a face-up big that has a smooth jumper and is always someone you have to watch when it comes to being an abover-the-rim finisher. One of the top under-the-radar bigs in the state.

We wrote quite a bit about McCormack over the course of the summer because he simply continued to impress us with his development. Whether it was with EG10 on the summer circuit, at the “The Expo” hosted by us at Prep Hoops Indiana, or at various college showcase events he was consistently one of the more intriguing big men in attendance. The 6’9″ lefty has skill out to the perimeter and has upside as a shot blocker. He should have a big junior year for Bishop Chatard.

Over the course of the last few months there haven’t been many Class of 2027 prospects impress us as much as this 6’9″ forward/center from Bishop Chatard. McCormack is a long, lean lefty that can stretch the floor out beyond the three-point arc. He is effective inside too and can protect the rim, but that part of his game will improve even more as he gets stronger. His three-point shooting and size though make him a very intriguing prospect to follow.

Here is what we had to say about Lake in our write up featuring the top performers at “The Expo.”
