One Player To Watch: Austin Ezell Austin Ezell 6'1" | PG Brebeuf Jesuit | 2021 State IN
Austin is a tall lead guard that has a nice scoring mentality. He’s not overwhelming with his approach but does well to always fill up the stat sheet. He’s great from the wing as a catch-and-shoot guy, looking to pull up at a moment’s notice. He’s also really good as a point guard who can split defenders and dish off at a high level. He loves to get out and run and keep the game up-tempo which allows him to show off possibly the best part of his game, the art of dishing and finishing on a fastbreak.
One Player We Need To See More: Benny Ogayonne Benny Ogayonne 6'1" | SG Franklin Central | 2021 State IN
Benny is a solid off guard with a good frame and some room to grow. He has good size, and he knows how to use his size and strength inside. He can also knock down shots from the outside as he shot 37% from behind the arc this winter. He has shown that he can get hot at times, but he has also been highly inconsistent. He has the chance to show us this summer that he can be the top-level player that we are looking for.
One Player That Should Surprise: Lane Lauderbaugh Lane Lauderbaugh 6'7" | SF South Decatur | 2021 State IN
Lauderbaugh had a breakout season for South Decatur this past winter, and if he can put the same kind of campaign together this summer, he will certainly surprise some coaches and teams. Lauderbaugh did it all for South Decatur with 23 points and 12 rebounds per game. He knows how to position himself in the lane to score with ease, and he certainly has the potential to catch the eye of some coaches this summer.
