Higgins is a legitimate 6’8" post player with all of the great skills that embody a big man. He can use his power to move post defenders on his way to the basket but he also has a lot of finesse around the rim.

Taden KingTadenKing6'4" | PGMadison | 2021StateID, Madison: King made a big leap this year into the top 25 after continually showing his ability to score and help the Bobcats find ways to win against tough competition. Taden is a knockdown shooter and he is incredibly efficient with his jump shot. He loves to get into the mid-range for a pull-up jumper and he has great touch at the rim where he can finish through contact. King also has some size and he uses his long arms on defense to grab steals and contest shots while also snagging a handful of rebounds per game.

Cade RandallCadeRandall5'10" | PGKuna | 2021StateID will be a key piece of a dangerous Kuna team. Randall is one of the best shooters in the state and he will be able to show his ability this season with an increased role and the need for scoring for the Kavemen. Cade can shoot from anywhere in the gym and he always draws the tough defensive assignments on the perimeter. Look for Randall to get hot in a number of games this season as he helps lead Kuna.
