Payton Barker Payton Barker 6'1" | SG Homestead | 2022 IN (Indiana Elite Summit City)- #52 in Prep Hoops Indiana 2022 Rankings. Bigger guard and was substantially stronger than the guard oriented Ohio Players he faced. Sits down on defense and has active hands, getting a touch on the ball. Moves with the ball vs. reacting to ball movement.
Isaiah Davis Isaiah Davis 6'9" | PF Zionsville | 2022 State IN (GPP UA Rise 2022)- #66 in Prep Hoops Indiana 2022 Rankings. Had several second chance points on putbacks at the rim. Cleaned up most shots on the offensive glass. Soft touch and finished well through contact. Impressed most with his post defense as he used his strength to fight over post-ups and doesn’t allow himself to be backed down.
Cameron Haffner Cameron Haffner 6'3" | SG Westfield | 2022 State IN (GPP UA Rise 2022)- #51 in Prep Hoops Indiana 2022 Rankings. Scrappy guard. Nice handle on the ball, possessing a quick crossover. Showed he could shoot the ball well off the dribble. Moves well without the ball and finds gaps to attack.
Nick Klaiber Nick Klaiber 6'1" | PG Bloomington North | 2022 State IN (Indiana Elite 2022)- #16 in Prep Hoops Indiana 2022 Rankings. Very fast-paced guard. Explosive on the dribble drive getting by defenders relatively easily. Keeps up on the defensive end.
Will Lovings-Watts Will Lovings-Watts 6'5" | SF Jeffersonville | 2022 State IN (Indiana Elite 2022)- #6 in Prep Hoops Indiana 2022 Rankings. One of the best perimeter defenders I got to see in this 2022 class. Quick reflexes and footwork allows him to keep close to opposing players. Offensively glides to the rim. Powerful first step which allows him to blow by defenders in the second level.
Julian Norris Julian Norris 6'3" | SG Evansville Bosse | 2022 MO (Indiana Elite 2022)- #15 in Prep Hoops Indiana 2022 Rankings. All-around solid guard. Has a good feel for the game. Comfortable with the ball and patient in his decision making.
Braden Smith Braden Smith 6'0" | PG Westfield | 2022 State IN (GPP UA Rise 2022)- #30 in Prep Hoops Indiana 2022 Rankings. My best performer from the weekend in the 2022 class. Gritty guard. Fights on the defensive end, powering through defenses and through screens. Gets up and down the floor when he’s not running the point. As a point guard, very patient player. Can score in a multitude of ways, but especially breaks down defenders and gets to the rim.
