Henry Hamelberg (Illinois Hoopstars Central)
Hamelberg put himself on the radar with his shooting this summer for the Hoopstars.
Isaiah Holden Isaiah Holden 5'10" | PG Evanston | 2021 State IL (Illinois Hoopstars National)
The Evanston point guard has always been a big shot maker and that continued on the circuit.
Norvell Meadows Norvell Meadows 6'0" | PG Orr | 2021 State IL (Team MORE)
Meadows had a huge shooting performance during his teams run at the Havoc in the Heartland event.
Cam Liggins (Chicago Demons)
Wiry two guard can really knock down shots at a high level from deep.
Reggie Ward Reggie Ward 6'5" | PF Curie | 2021 State IL (Chicago Demons)
Like the inside/outside ability of this Curie forward. His growth as a shooter showed through this summer.
Grant Newell Grant Newell 6'7" | PF Whitney Young | 2021 State IL (Beyond Ball College Prospects)
One of the top power forwards in the state shot it at a pretty solid clip. Works well in the mid-range and can expanded it to beyond the arc.
Damian Zivak Damian Zivak 6'6" | SG Barrington | 2021 State IL (Team RWA)
Zivak was one of the top shooters on the circuit. Strong bodied wing that moves well without the ball and is a threat off the catch.
Jaden Terrell Jaden Terrell 6'7" | SF Wheeling | 2021 State IL (Team RWA)
Long and angular small forward lit it up from three whether it was off the catch or running into them in transition.
Sincere Malone Sincere Malone 6'7" | PF CBA | 2021 State NC (Team RWA)
The Corliss combo forward surprised us with how well he shot it throughout the summer from the perimeter elevating his stock.
Nick Tingley Nick Tingley 6'4" | SG Lincoln Way Central | 2021 State IL (Illinois Hoopstars Nelson)
Skilled wing that was most effective as a perimeter shooter.
Tai Walters Tai Walters 5'11" | PG Homewood Flossmoor | 2021 State IL (Team RWA)
Walters had a breakout weekend with his shooting from deep. The lefty had a couple big games drilling threes.
Jakobi Heady Jakobi Heady 6'8" | SF Hillcrest | 2021 State IL (God’s Gift/Young & Reckless)
The Hillcrest wing has a bit of a slow release, but he drills triples at a high rate especially spotting up.
Brandon Weston (Illinois Stars)
The high-major wing can create his shot off the bounce knocking down shots from all over the floor.
Kai Evans Kai Evans 6'3" | SG Bolingbrook | 2021 NV (Illinois Stars)
Evans is a big bodied two guard that has been known for his power game, but his ability to create and rise up from the perimeter stood out to us.
Biggie Luster (Illinois Stars)
Lefty two guard hits threes at a high rate off the catch especially from the corners.
Tyvin Garrison Tyvin Garrison 6'5" | PF Springfield | 2021 FL (Illinois Phenom)
Intriguing four man that has consistently improved as a shooter during his career.
Cassius Brooks (Old Gold)
Physical wing that flashed as a shot maker from mid-range and three.
Buzz Ritzel (Illinois Bears Ritzel)
Look for Ritzel to knock down a ton of threes this year for Nashville.
John Poulakidas John Poulakidas 6'6" | SF Nequa Valley | 2021 State #155 Nation IL (Young & Reckless)
We finish with perhaps the top shooter in the class. The lefty small forward drills pull ups on a dime rising up over the defense!
