#1 Braxton Stacker (Belleville East)
Stacker is the top prospect in the metro east in this class. The explosive small forward has a long and wiry frame. He has such a burst with the ball when attacking off the bounce and getting to the rim where he can use his high level of athleticism to finish at the cup. The physical tools jump off the floor at you! Chance to develop into a plus defender down the line. Jumper is the area he needs to improve to reach his ceiling.
#2 Justin King Justin King 6'4" | PG Mascoutah | 2022 State IL (Mascoutah)
King impresses us more and more every single time we see him play! He has grown to 6’3” with long arms and a frame that he should be able to add strength going forward. King excels in transition where he reads the floor as both a passer and driver. When he finds the hole he hits it to the rim. Also has his head up looking to dish to teammates. Capable shooter that continues to improve.
#3 Caleb Burton Caleb Burton 6'2" | PG Confluence | 2022 IL (O’Fallon)
Burton has the look of a big time player. Long and athletic frame with the ability to weave in and out of the defense with his smooth ball handling. Burton will have the car keys to one of the best teams in the metro east next season!
#4 Chase Travis Chase Travis 6'2" | SG Olney | 2022 State IL (Olney)
Wiry wing that plays with creativity with the ball in his hands. Can score from multiple levels with his pull up game from mid-range and three.
#5 Damarkus Bean Damarkus Bean 6'7" | C Metro East Lutheran | 2022 State IL (Metro East Lutheran)
This 6’6” Metro East Lutheran center is a big bodied post who is a quality rebounder in his area. Long arms allow him to grab rebounds at their highest point. Very intriguing young post with projectability.
