Kam Craft Kam Craft 6'5" | SF TSF | 2022 State #54 Nation GA (Buffalo Grove)
This is one of the best scorers in the 2022 class. Craft has a knack for creating contact for fouls whether it is on jumpers or drives. Regularly got to the foul line. Plays well in transition both running his lane as a finisher as well as using his crisp handles to get all the way to the cup for buckets. As the day went on the top 10 2022 prospect drilled threes which is one of his strengths.
AJ Casey AJ Casey 6'8" | PF Whitney Young | 2022 State #55 Nation IL (Whitney Young)
The new Whitney Young product is the top prospect in the state’s junior class. At 6’8” the power forward has tremendous mobility and athleticism in the paint. That was shown on several spectacular moves including and-1s on quick post moves and explosive dunks. Got to the line at a high rate throughout the day where he shot it at a nice clip. Flashed his three point range off the catch.
Ethan Marlowe Ethan Marlowe 6'8" | PF St. Charles North | 2022 State IL (St. Charles North)
Marlowe is a power forward that is seeing his stock rise after playing well in several camp settings this summer. Good size, frame, and mobility for a four man. Solid athlete shined more so in drill work than the actual games looking fluid going through shooting and ball handling drills like a guard. Decent area rebounder and got out to block a three defensively. Lots of helium heading into his junior campaign.
Robbie Avila Robbie Avila 6'9" | PF Oak Forest | 2022 State #225 Nation IL (Oak Forest)
Avila is one of the best prospects in the junior class and the power forward showed some of the reasons why at the Meanstreets camp. He has such a free and easy game. Worked well in pick/roll situations as well as in the give and go. Consistently made trips to the foul line drawing contact inside. More than capable three point threat from his post position.
Amarion Nimmers Amarion Nimmers 6'2" | PG Rock Island | 2022 State IL (Rock Island)
Nimmers is a slender built 6’3” combo guard that started off the day slow, but then got it going. Pushes in the open floor and brings creativity as a ball handler. Can go coast to coast for scores and rebounds well for a guard.
