Continue ReadingWith the season underway and closing in on the Holiday Break, Prep Hoops takes a look at several 2019 wings who have raised their profile in the early stages of the season.
Braijion Barnes, 6’4, SF, 2019, Piper
Barnes is a hard-nosed, do-everything type wing player who excels at the defensive end of the floor where he can lock up multiple positions. Barnes can rebound and score over a smaller player in the paint, but when matched up against a bigger opposing player can take him outside and handle the ball.
Jarin Koehler, 6’6, G/F, 2019, El Dorado. @jarinkoehler3
Koehler is coming off a strong offseason competing with River City Hoops and brings a unique, inside-out game to the floor. He can handle the ball, pass, shoot from 3 and likes to post up and take advantage of mismatches. He has good size and a well-rounded skill set as evidenced by several big games this season already, including 27 points and 11 rebounds in a game against Winfield.
Caleb Muia, 6’4, G/F, 2019, Girard. @CalebMuia10
An athletic wing player, Muia is raising his profile this season with a big senior season as he averages 23 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.5 steals. He is a long rangy player with a lot of bounce in his step. He can shoot from the outside, moves well without the ball and can create a little offense off the bounce.
Jacob Weber, 6’3, G/F, 2019, Winfield @Jwebs34
One of the state’s most underrated players, Winfield senior swing man Jacob Weber is a strong and physical two-way player who brings a huge motor to the court and a competitive drive. He can attack the basket, shoot the 3 and defends multiple positions.
