Continue ReadingThe annual Prep Hoops Top 250 event is our longest and most wide spread of anything we do all year. For our Indiana event this year, the talent was clearly evident and over the course of the day, we were able to see some of the best players in the state and some from out of state.
Today, we put together our list of the best wings we saw on the day.
Jaxson Gould

– 6’3 SG 2023 – Warsaw (IN)
Jaxson was really impressive on the day shooting the ball at a high level. He’s the type of guy that you watch at any point and he’s making a jumper. Never really have seen him to this point have an “off” game. He’s always able to produce and with his quick release, he’s tough to stop regardless.
Ethan Osowski – 6’3 SG 2021 – LaPorte (IN)
Ethan is a guy who has really taken a step forward this spring and summer and seems to be moving forward this fall. He’s not going to blow you away at first but he’s productive and factors in to so many different areas. Shoots the ball well, can handle the point in a pinch, defends and rebounds. As his scoring production starts to take off, which it seemed to do this weekend, his stock should grow very quickly. His height and scoring ability on the wing should be very useful.

– 6’4 SG 2022 – Mt. Vernon-Fortville (IN)
Amhad is a ridiculous athlete and seems to be growing a bit in his ability to control the game. He’s had spurts where he can be dominant but there were lulls at times. Looks like he’s starting to smooth that out a bit and could be in a situation where he would really become elite. He’s got all the skills you want and he’s productive but he’s making steps to take that to a new level.

North Harrison | 2022

– 6’4 SG 2022 – North Harrison (IN)
Logan is a long, lean wing that can really shoot the ball and is develping quickly here. He’s the type of guy that has the size and length but lacks the strength right now but the skill is starting to play up a ton lately. As that strength comes through, he’s going to make that jump in talent. His ball handling looked improved especially with his shot creation from 15’ and out. Was consistently one of the top guys we have seen since the spring.
Jordan Green

6'4" | PF
Fort Wayne North Side | 2023
State
IN
– 6’5 SF 2023 – Fort Wayne Northside (IN)
Jordan is a growing wing that can score at a pretty good clip. He’s gotten taller and his ball handling has increased at the same rate which is a good sign. He’s still a little up and down at times but when he’s at his best, the scoring is pretty solid and he can really move well in the lane and cause problems for defenders. Going to be a good balance between shooter and driver and if he gets any taller, that is only going to make that exponentially more difficult to defend.
Luke LaGrange

Leo | 2022

– 6’5 SF 2022 – Blackhawk Christian (IN)
Luke is a guy that is starting to change his body as he packs on more strength but his ball handling has really improved. Will be interesting to see how he develops because he could be a 3/4 and if he can continue to stretch out and shoot more from distance while being able to post up inside, which looks way more plausible now, he could be a guy that sees his stock go way up very quickly.
Chandler Jackson

Warren Central | 2022

IN
– 6’6 SF 2022 – Warren Central (IN)
Chandler has always been a fun kid to watch. Tall, long, and shoots the ball well in stretches. When he’s on, he’s very difficult to defend and he can put up some points. He’s gotten a little taller and if he can do more to even out his game where he dominant as a scorer more often during the course of a game, he has all the tools to impress college coaches.
Cooper Farrall
Cooper
Farrall
6'5" | SF
Culver Academy | 2023
State
IN
– 6’6 SF 2023 – Culver Academies (IN)
Cooper has proven to this stage to be one of the best, if not the most productive scorers in the 2023 class. He’s a bigger wing but his shooting is high, high level and he has enough size and strength to really do well against any competition. He has also improved as a driving threat, especially in the lane and the next stage for him right now is to really move to an elite scorer.
Kyron Kaopuiki
Kyron

6'3" | SG
Homestead | 2023
State
IN
– 6’2 SG 2023 – Homestead (IN)
Kyron has been quitely one of the kids I’ve liked for the last year as a potential late bloomer. He’s thin but has some size and the ability of him to shoot is pretty solid. He’s going to fill out here quickly as he’s likely to stop growing here soon. The mechanics are great and he’s go that shooters touch that I’ve seen before that will allow him to make some really tough shots in big situations over the next few years. Could take a minute but he’s going to be a guy to keep an eye on.
Ryan Preston – 6’2 SG 2021 – Fort Wayne Carroll (IN)
Ryan just gets it done at this stage. He’s impressed in the last few times I have seen him. Big, strong guard that has good size and can defensively give you a ton of options becuase he’s capable of being a complimentary scorer. Preston is going to be the guy that sneaks onto a good college rosters, works his way into minutes early on and is a four-year guy that leads the team in a lot of categories because of how hard he plays and the wide array of skill for his position.
