Continue ReadingWith a quarter of the season in the books we are starting to see some players separate themselves from the pack.
In this piece we will highlight 25 players total. Five Mr. Basketball Candidates, five small school top performers (3A-1A) and five players from each classification 6A-4A. Some of the players we feature will be because of their surprising play this year and others will be highlighted because they’re just killing it.
There were a lot of good players that didn’t make the list this time, we will get them next time.
5 Mr. Basketball Candidates
Each one of these players is an early candidate for Mr. Basketball for the value they provide to their team. If any of these players lead their team to s state championship they would be a lock for the award.
Isaac Johnson of American Fork (Oregon)
20.7 PPG, 10.2 RPG
Isaac has been dominating the competition for a year now. He has an opportunity to lead his team to a state championship which would make him a no brainer for Mr. Basketball. Isaac could develop into a true NBA prospect. The University of Oregon commit will be a freshman in 2021 upon return of his church mission.
Matt Van Komen of Pleasant Grove (Utah)
13 PPG, 8 RPG, 8 BPG
Matt Van Komen has been labeled as a cheat code. The tallest player to come out of Utah since Shawn Bradley (Emery High School) is just bigger than everyone. He is a big reason why PG is the top team in the state and the front-runner to win state in 6A.
Jeremy DowDell of Olympus
27 PPG, 5 RPG
Jeremy has been playing along side Rylan Jones who signed with Utah earlier this year. The duo is crazy good. Jeremy has stepped his game up and will provide major offensive firepower when teams key on Rylan. Wouldn’t be surprised if Jeremy goes off for 40 points multiple times this year.
Trevon Allfrey of Copper Hills
23 PPG, 9 RPG
Trevon is one of the most underrated talents in the Mountain West. He can shoot the ball well from all areas. He runs the floor extremely well. He can play with his back to the basket or face-up. Trevon has no fear in the paint and will go at you and try to dunk on you. He has a lot of schools interested but Trevon is a D1 player. If he can get his teammates going Copper Hills is a legit state contender as Trevon is Mr. Basketball candidate.
Tyson Garff of Davis
18 PPG, 5 RPG, 2 APG
Tyson is another underrated player that doe sit all. He is a stat suffer. He can get you points when needed. Tyson is the leader of his team and he has the potential to take over games. Tyson could be an immediate impact player at the D2 level or even higher.
