Louis Perona (Lane Tech – 2020)
Perona opened eyes with his ability to attack and score in the lane along with getting to the free throw line. Scrappy kid with toughness. He had 13 points.
Jaylin Gibson (Evanston – 2021)
Gibson is a physical wing that loves to get in the lane for scores at the cup and making trips to the charity stripe where he was 7-10. He had 15 points.
Troy D’Amico (Niles Notre Dame – 2021)
D’Amico is such a versatile forward, but one of his strengths is becoming putting it on the deck and getting to the cup. D’Amico went for 12 points.
Anthony Sayles (Niles Notre Dame – 2021)
The Notre Dame point guard is one of the most explosive guards in the state. At times he can be a bit wild, but there is no question he can get to the rack! Sayles racked up 11 points.
Ismail Habib (Lincoln Park – 2021)
Habib is a quick and shifty guard that makes plays getting to the rim. He shakes defenders and scores in the paint despite being a smaller guard. Went for 17 points.
Christian Shumate (Bloom – 2020)
Shumate is an explosive above the rim athlete that has really improved his all-around game especially putting it on the deck. He had a couple smooth moves including one where he maneuvered the ball at the rim ala Dr. J. He had 12 points in Bloom’s win.
Ahamad Bynum (Simeon – 2021)
Bynum is a big time scorer in the junior class and the DePaul commit was definitely in attack mode putting combination moves together to make plays off the bounce. He went for 21 points.
Tyler Beard (Whitney Young – 2020)
Beard is a Chicago tough guard that is the highest ranked uncommitted senior in the state. Loves to get downhill and to the foul line which is what he did going 8-8 from the stripe. He had 13 points.
Brandon Weston (Morgan Park – 2021)
Weston is a big time athlete at the two guard spot with his ability to slash and get to the rim. That is what he did all night against CBC scoring in the paint and getting to the line for 8-13 at the stripe en route to 25 points.
Adam Miller (Morgan Park – 2020)
Miller is an elite scoring guard that is super explosive scoring in the paint off the dribble. He is a three level scorer that netted 21 points.
