Continue ReadingThe change in the recruiting cycle is going to be a big change for everyone. Right as we thought we were going to be getting out on the road, we get shut down. So, in order to spend as much effort as we can in getting players seen, we are going to do what we call, 3-Packs.
With these, we want to highlight 3 players who are similar in class and position. Get some time to dive into some quick thoughts, stat breakdowns, and film. Today, we are looking at 2021 Guards in Peyton Wert, Shamar Avance Shamar Avance 6'1" | PG Lawrence North | 2021 State IN , and Zane Burke Zane Burke 6'2" | SG Blackhawk Christian | 2021 State IN .
Peyton Wert – 6’1 PG 2021 – Milan (IN)
Stats: 12.8 ppg, 172 total assists in junior season
Thoughts: Wert is a smaller point guard with some good court vision. He is really a true lead guard because he looks as though he would rather give his teammates the opportunities to score. Not say that he cannot score himself as he averages a solid 12.8 ppg. He is real solid on the drive and has a pretty good pull-up jumper with a great release. Overall, Wert is a smart player with some excellent IQ. Needs to add some more strength but his smarts alone give him some good upside.
Shamar Avance

Lawrence North | 2021
State
IN
– 6’1 PG 2021 – Lawrence North (IN)
Stats: N/A
Thoughts: Avance is a long, thin guard with a good amount of speed. Really has done a good job with making himself better as a basketball player over the past few years. Best when he can get out in the open floor because he has the size and vision to make plays. He is an excellent defender and has some good ability to steal the ball. He is pretty solid with his jump shot but looks to drive more often than not. Has gotten stronger but probably needs to continue to add size. Avance is going to be one of the better prospects in the Indianapolis area during his senior season.
Zane Burke

Blackhawk Christian | 2021

IN
– 6’2 SG 2021 – Blackhawk Christian (IN)
Stats: 18.0 ppg, 4.4 rpg, 4.3 apg
Thoughts: Burke is a tall shooting guard who can really put up some points. He is an all-around great player who is very quick and athletic. He has some of the best handles in his class which helps him do great things with the ball. Drives well but is probably at his best when can create his own jumper. Currently has offers from Saint Francis (IN), Grace College, Indiana Tech, and Huntington. Burke is on track to be one of the top prospects in the whole state next season.
