Kevin Bozeman Kevin Bozeman 6'6" | PF Downers Grove North | 2021 State IL (Downers Grove North – 2021)
This was about the best we have ever seen this 6’7” power forward play. He has always been intriguing since we saw him as a freshman, but now he is starting to put it all together. Skilled and athletic four man that can score inside and out. Connected on several threes off the catch particularly being effective from the corners. Also took his man down to the post where he utilized his quickness and athleticism on spin moves and finishing dump off passes with his bounce in traffic. Runs the floor very fluidly for a big man and garnered several baskets getting down the court in transition.
Jeffrey Grace (York – 2021)
The York point guard consistently lived in the paint throughout the scrimmages. He got there in transition for acrobatic finishes and also had crafty layups off the dribble in the half court. Smooth ball handler that isn’t overly explosive, but gets where he needs to for scores. Showed well as a passer dishing off to finishers in traffic.
Aryton Temico (Glenbard South – 2021)
The 6’4” wing put it all together in this scrimmage. He started early with his perimeter shooting and then was excellent getting to the rim. Put it on the deck over and over for slashes, transition scores, and coast to coast takes. Also threaded the needle on a long bounce pass.
Jack Mielke Jack Mielke 6'7" | PF Downers Grove North | 2021 State IL (Downers Grove North – 2021)
Mielke fits the new age face up four perfectly. Knocked down several mid-range jumpers in the scrimmage. Also handled it well with quick moves from the high-post area and a few skilled takes on the block. Liked how he passed it throwing bullet passes in the open floor and dishing it out of the post.
Bobby Durkin Bobby Durkin 6'6" | SF Hinsdale South | 2022 State IL (Hinsdale South – 2022)
It was an excellent showing for the 6’5” small forward. This junior played with a ton of confidence and it showed through in his production. Skilled forward had his feathery mid-range jumper working as they were falling left and right. Put it on the deck a few times including a strong straight line take for a nifty finish at the cup. His passing feel was something we had never really seen out of him before. Showed a good sense of getting others involved in both the half court and transition. Can really elevate his stock if he can consistently pass this well.
