One of the top scoring performances of the Night, Zander Whitaker Zander Whitaker 6'2" | SG/PG Jimtown | 2028 IN of Jimtown and Indiana Impact 16u was getting buckets on top of buckets finishing with 32 points in his team’s win. Was able to get out in transition where he was the beneficiary. The 6’2” Guard/Wing lived at the free throw line where he was able to convert at a high clip. High motor that plays the game the right way and makes winning plays on both ends of the floor.

Zander is a part of a very talented Indiana Impact team that went undefeated in its last two tournaments. And he plays an important role in their starting lineup.

Zander plays well in transition, and defenses would be wise not to give him any open looks, because will always convert.

He’s good when faced with pressure. In his game against Common Bond , he showed his capacity to beat double-teams and triple-teams. He also showed no hesitation in laying it off the glass with both his right and left hand.

His entire time is elite on defense, and Zander in particular is an elite ball-defender.

There is a new wave of talent coming through Jimtown High School with a trio of sophomores ranking second, third, and fourth in the scoring column for the Jimmies. On Tuesday night it was Whitaker who stepped up and went a perfect 4-4 from deep on his way to 21 points as Jimtown defeated Elkhart Christian 59-40. The Jimmies are 10-4 on the season.

The most under-the-radar name from the list I gathered on Saturday comes from Jimtown High School, 2028 wing Zander Whitaker Zander Whitaker 6'2" | SG/PG Jimtown | 2028 IN . A player that just seemed to understand spacing, the 6’1 prospect just seemed to find a way to be at the right place at the right time. Scored well off of easy dish-offs, felts he was good around the lane, and showed a true jumper from behind the arc. I was really impressed with Jimtown in the game I watched and Whitaker was a big part of that.

Whitaker averaged 17 points per game while leading Indiana Impact to an impressive 4-0 showing at the Havoc in the Heartland. The 6’1″ guard from Jimtown saved his best performance for last scoring 27 points in their Sunday afternoon win over WeDifferent 812.
