Chaz Harvey Chaz Harvey 5'10" | PG Brooks | 2021 State IL (Rise) 2022
Harvey scored on all three levels easily, but did most of his damage from beyond the arc. His ability to break guys down off the dribble was key early in the game but later on, Chaz nailed 3 three pointers in a what was a fairly close game with the Archangels . Those bombs would give RISE the needed boost to win the game.
Sherod Dent Jr. Sherod Dent Jr. 6'6" | PF Chicago Curie | 2023 State IL (Hoops 4 Health) 2023
Dent is a smooth 4 man. That showed with his ability to step out and hit shots on the perimeter and from mid range. His shot fake one dribble jumper froze defenders at times making him look like a wing. At 6’6 he can play outside and inside. Sherrod is never rushed and seems to make sound decisions if he doesn’t get a good look at a shot.
Joseph Fitch Joseph Fitch 6'8" | PF Christian Homeschool Assn. | 2022 IL (IL Magic)
Fitch is a no doubt sleeper in this 2022 class. The 6’8 forward moves well and gets off his feet quick. He is best when on defense altering shots or flat out swatting them. He rebounds at a good rate and he shows good enough foot speed to stay in front of guards. His signature play was a baseline dunk off the fast break to give his team the win over the Chicago Demons.
Jalen Brown Jalen Brown 5'10" | PG De La Salle | 2022 State IL (Rise)
Brown did a great job of mixing up his game today. Jalen flourishes well when he is a passer first and that what he did earlier on finding his big men in the lane to get some easier baskets. Jalen would then become a scorer himself as defenders played him as a passer. For playing two games back to back it was an overall solid day for Brown.
Jabrion Spikes Jabrion Spikes 6'1" | SG Caldwell County | 2022 State KY (Up Next Elite)
Spikes is a relentless physical guard who constantly put pressure on the defense by getting to the rim and taking bumps while scoring. Jabrion has a nice crossover that he uses to get by defenders once they are on his hip. Its bye bye. More of a scorer than a passer as the lead guard but in some possessions he made the right play when the opportunity to score was taken away. He finished with 24 points in a win over EBA ICE.
