6’9 F Jaxon Kohler Jaxon Kohler 6'9" | PF Southern California Academy | 2022 #49 Nation CA-S | American Fork High School | Utah Prospects | 2022
Jaxon is one of the most skilled big men in the country. His skill is at a level that other 4-star and 5-star prospects can’t guard him one on one. Teams have to bring doubles and triple teams in high school but the most surprising thing is that AAU teams are bringing doubles too. Although Jaxon possesses a unique skill to rebound with strength and keep the ball high and get that outlet up the floor quickly, he is a grab and go big. Jaxon can rebound a run the ball up with some nice handling and he can even stop and pop from deep. One of the impressive aspects of his grab and go ability is that he can Euro his way to the rim avoiding defenders.
6’6 W Moroni Seely-Roberts | Grand High School | N/A | 2023
Moroni is a unique player that handles the ball with ease. Now with him being bigger as a guard he can really gran and go with a purpose. Makes getting the ball up the floor a lot easier. It is likely that he returns to Yamhill Carlton High School next year as his move to Utah was to suit up for a year and not lose one in Oregon. He is not fast but he has a good tempo and his IQ helps him get to his spots or allow others to get to theirs.
6’9 C Malick Diallo Malick Diallo 6'9" | C Wasatch Academy | 2024 State #131 Nation UT | Juan Diego Catholic | Jimmer Elite | 2024
While many 2024 players are trying to figure things out or get use to their bodies when they are big Malick is just ahead of the game. He is a grab and go big that has the body and vision to move the ball up the floor. Raw but natural talent at his position. Might not get to push the ball up all the time at JDCHS but the kid ca moves and can really surprise with the way he can move.
6’11 W Bron Roberts Bron Roberts 6'11" | SF Pleasant Grove | 2023 State UT | Timpanogos High School | Utah Prospects | 2023
Might look strange seeing a young 6’11 kid bring the ball up the floor but once you see the way Bron moves and how he can handle and put the ball between his legs and behind his back you will not be surprised. In an era were playing at a fast pace is ideal, Bron is ideal for this style of play. Especially when he can step out and shoot the ball. Bron keeps the ball high and waits till it’s clear and he can bring it and he looks comfortable doing it.
6’6 W Henry Ihrig | Davis High School | Kongo | 2022
Henry is a skilled 4 that is a grab and go nightmare for defenses because he can push the ball and score at all three levels. Henry is an intriguing prospect that can shoot the ball and push the tempo. Defends well and has skill that doesn’t always get recorded on the stats. If you watch his film, he pushes the ball a lot.
