6’9 Hunter Phillips Hunter Phillips 6'9" | C Westlake | 2021 State UT (Westlake)
This summer in the few games that Westlake has been a part of Hunter has really shown some growth. Hunter is a true center that is long and ideal in the paint at both ends. On the defensive end he can really contest shots and alter them as well. He can also defensive rebound and get those outlet passes up the floor to get that break started quickly. On the offensive end Hunter can free himself up on either block an score with both hands over both shoulders. Look for him to really be dominant this next year.
6’3 Ben Krystowiak Ben Krystowiak 6'4" | CG Brighton | 2021 State UT (Olympus)
Last season Ben was able to make the transition from one school to another rather seamlessly. While Ben will return as the leading scorer look for his three-point production to go up. He will actually be playing a role where he could really stat stuff all year long. Don’t be surprised if he flirts with triple-doubles.
6’5 Preston Condie Preston Condie 6'4" | CG Carbon | 2021 State UT (Carbon)
Last season Preston scores 6 points and hauled in 4 rebounds a game. With some added height, strength and skill Preston will see some increase in his production. Preston could really be a double-double threat. He is strong inside and the perimeter which allows him to use his versatility.
6’7 Truman Hendry Truman Hendry 6'7" | SF Farmington | 2021 State UT (Farmington)
Last season Truman had a great junior year averaging 10 & 5. This next season it will likely be 12 & 8. Truman will get a lot more open looks which will allow him to really showcase his offensive skills. Truman could really have a breakout year.
6’3 Justis Reiser Justis Reiser 6'2" | SG Bingham | 2021 State UT (Bingham)
Justis is set to have a huge year as a lot of the scoring load will depend on him. Justis almost reached the 60 three-pointers made in a year last season. Look for that number to go up as he will carry the scoring load with the departure of a few players. Justis could really shoot the ball and stretch the floor which will also allow him to have more opportunities at beating defenders to the basket as they over extend.
