I’ve seen Ty do his best work in the pick and roll. When he has a good screen set for him, he turns the corner quickly and can explode to the hoop or quickly plant for a midrange pullup. He is a good outside shooter off the catch, and creates several of those opportunities with his consistent movement without the ball.
Kieren Nichols Kieren Nichols 5'11" | PG Knoxville | 2021 State IA – Knoxville
Kieren is one of the most efficient offensive players in Iowa. He averaged 26 points and 4.3 assists on 47 percent shooting from the field. And on nearly 7 three-point attempts per game, he shot 34 percent from deep. He can put it on the floor, too, gain penetration, and finish strong. Even at his size, he is able to earn trips to the free throw line where he shot 87 percent a year ago.
Ra’mir Scott Ra’mir Scott 5'11" | PG Waterloo East | 2021 State IA – Waterloo East
As one of the best athletes in the Iowa 2021 class, Ra’Mir plays an entertaining and high-flying brand of basketball. He feathers in crafty layups over lane defenders despite his stature, and can back it out to the three-point line and shoot at a dangerous percentage. He brings energy and competitiveness to the court, which spreads to the other four players on the court with him.
James Glenn James Glenn 6'2" | PG Sep | 2021 State IA – Southeast Polk
I will confidently say that James Glenn James Glenn 6'2" | PG Sep | 2021 State IA is the best passer I’ve watched in this class. He can make all the passes in the pick-and-roll with either hand. This summer he made leaps in his pick-and-roll scoring, and developed one of the better midrange pullups in the state. He has great length that helps him slip past defenders and finish at the rim.
John Miller John Miller 5'10" | PG Davenport Central | 2021 State IA – Davenport Central
Irritating on-ball defense, tenacious rebounding, and strong rim finishing are the the cornerstones of Miller’s game. He gets in a fantastic defensive stance, and can muscle up virtually every other guard he will face. His feet stay light and his arms are always active and impacting the vision of his man. His offensive game is limited and can struggle in the half-court.
Blake Chance Blake Chance 6'4" | PG Albia | 2021 State IA – Albia
Blake has the mental make-up of a high-level offensive initiator. He can penetrate and suck in the defense, then make the right kick-out. He knows how to use his eyes to manipulate multiple layers of defense. His scoring comes from the drive, and still has some work to do with his jumper.
