#34 Carter Lichtsinn Carter Lichtsinn 6'2" | SF Olathe West | 2021 State KS , 6’4 Wing, Olathe West: Was a great wing player during his time at Olathe West, with size and length on the perimeter and an absolute flamethrower from behind the three point line. Was one of the highlights for the 11-11 Olathe West squad this past season. Moves really well without the ball and gets himself shot ready in an instant.
#35 Nate Johnson Nate Johnson 6'3" | CG KC Washington | 2021 State KS , 6’3 Guard, KC Washington: An explosive yet smooth guard with the ball in his hands, Johnson wherever he ends up playing college hoops (multiple offers on the table) he should be able to take his game and translate it over well. Really steady off the dribble, with a quick burst off the floor, and a wide array of finishes at and around the rim.
#36 Tanner Hecht Tanner Hecht 6'5" | CG Wamego | 2021 State KS , 6’5 Shooting Guard, Wamego (Pictured): The future Colorado Christian DII guard put together a tremendous high school career capped off with an outstanding senior year. Consistently a stat sheet stuffer, Hecht was able to pair his elite level shooting with his passing ability, IQ, and rebounding to become an overall high quality basketball player. Averaged 18.3 points, 2.2 assists, 8.7 rebounds, 1.4 steals, and 3 blocks per game last season.
#38, Devon Junghans Devon Junghans 5'9" | PG Salina South | 2021 State KS , 5’10 Point Guard, Salina South: One of the few point guards around Kansas who brings all of the intangibles in the book with their standout on court talent. Possesses all of the winning traits in a high level point guard, and the counting stats to go with it, averaging 12.7 points, 3.9 assists, 2 rebounds, and 1 steal per game. Will be playing for the defending national champions Coffeyville next season.
#39 Luke Adams Luke Adams 5'11" | CG Blue Valley North | 2021 State KS , 5’11 Point Guard, Blue Valley North: Can’t go wrong being the starting point guard for the 6A State champs, Adams was a vital part to what Blue Valley North wanted to do this season en route to their special year. Adams averaged 9.3 points, 2.2 rebounds, 2.96 assists, shot 34% from 3, and over 80% from the free throw line. He will be a very solid college point guard.
#40 Corey Powell Corey Powell 6'4" | PF Highland Park | 2021 State KS , 6’4 Wing, Highland Park: Powell continued to become more agile this season and increase his guard skills which he will look to continue to refine at the Junior College level next season. He has a ton of potential on the basketball floor and the flashes of high level play became more consistent throughout the year. A really smooth jumper especially from 15-20 feet out, a solid frame and finishing ability in the painted area, and a guy who can track down rebounds at a high level.
