Ahmere Carson (Morgan Park – 2023)
The Morgan Park freshman is very under the radar when it comes to this class that’s heavy with talented guards. Carson is a guard who can shoot it from deep range. He has a solid handle and is tough when playing off ball screens. Ahmere is very aggressive when getting into the lane with many different ways to score. He proved he can play on defense when he and Simeon guard Mysean Vaughn had an entertaining back and forth matchup. Carson can become a vital piece of the Mustangs program as he continues to sharpen his on the court IQ.
Mysean Vaughn (Simeon – 2022)
Vaughn was a spark in every game we saw him play during the event. He got after it on every possession with his in your face defense causing opposing ball handlers make bad decisions. Mysean is very vocal on the court. He gets into players mentally, but in a basketball way. He didn’t use any dirty tricks just great on ball defense. On the offensive side he has to add some type of range to his game. He gets downhill pretty well and is able to finish with both hands around the rim. Vaughn will be a really good glue man for the Simeon Wolverines program.
Sulaiman Agiste (Michele Clark – 2022)
Agiste is very long and lanky big man who was very active in and around the paint area. He runs the court well and does a great job rebounding and timing shots. Sulaiman was seen mostly doing damage on the offensive glass finishing layups over guys consistently. He has a high ceiling once he adds some weight and grows into his body.
Lidell Miller (Morgan Park – 2022)
At first glance you wonder if this kid is making the right choice of which sport to play. Miller is 6’6” wide bodied like a football lineman. When the ball is tipped you watch him and he’s knows how to play with his size. Lidell is ruthless rebounder who doesn’t wait to see where the ball will land. He goes after it. When you watch him play he gives you a Zach Randolph feel. Miller does damage on the offensive glass. On one possession I watched him grab 6 missed shots. But he isn’t a one trick pony. Lidell was able to step outside and knock down a couple of three pointers in the mix of some games. As a sophomore he has a really good upside to his game. He should be a fun player to watch the next 3 years.
Marcellius Cohen (De La Salle – 2022)
Cohen is a really long and athletic forward. He is able to shift from wing to post throughout games. On Sunday I watched him collect rebounds and push the ball in transition like a guard. Marcellus is still raw offensively, but he has a tenacious approach to the game. His shot is 15 feet and in. With minor tweaks to his shot I can see him becoming a pick and pop styled forward. Another player who has a bright upside if he puts the work in. Cohen can become a prospect for the Meteors.
Malaun Grayer (Kenwood – 2022)
Grayer is 6’4 lanky wing with the ability to score in transition and from the perimeter. His ability to maneuver in the lane as a slasher is his biggest asset. Malaun is still learning the game from a wing position, but his footwork is really good in the lane he is able to finish over smaller defenders and around bigger forwards who close out on him. The way he makes the simple adjustments is good to see. Grayer will have to add some pounds as well to make an impact on the varsity level. I’m sure he can become an impact player for the Broncos.
