I got a hands-on look at all of these high-level athletes. Look for their stock to continue to rise after some very impressive performances!
Amir Chaney 2024
Springfield High School
Amir is a lightning quick point guard who thrives at beating his opponents down the court. He is so skilled at playing with pace at such a young age, he knows when to speed it up and is very good at making the right reads on the fast break. I love his ability to draw contact when driving as well, he uses his speed to step in front of defenders and wait for them to crash into him. He is also a capable shooter from all around the arc, displaying the ability to knock down threes off the wings and atop the key with ease.
Noah Brookter Noah Brookter 6'2" | CG Soutide | 2024 State LA 2024
Southside High School
Noah has a silky-smooth stroke from all three levels on the floor. I was impressed with his maturity on the court, he is great at getting into his spots in the midrange and beyond the arc. He is a very good leaper for his size, and I was impressed with his ability to finish amongst the bigs, he is patient and strong with the ball down low. He is great at pushing the ball up the floor and using his speed to his advantage.
Cace Reed 2024
St. Thomas Aquinas
Cace is a very aware playmaker who loves to make the right reads. He is an intelligent player in the full court and makes the best outlet passes to jumpstart the fast break. He is a comfortable scorer with a live dribble and knows how to create space in the open court with his handle. I would like to see him work on his ability to move without the ball and increase the intensity on defense.
Braylen Clark Braylen Clark 5'8" | PG Evangel | 2024 State LA 2024
Evangel Christian Academy
Braylen is a hard-working point guard who is a great decision-maker. I was very impressed by his ability to pass after leaving his feet. He seems to have eyes in the back of his head in the half-court. It is like he feels the defense collapsing and always seems to make the right read. I would like to see him work on his ability to hit midrange shots after beating his defender off the dribble. He has a soft floater he loves to get to off the catch but a one or two dribble pull-up is one of the missing pieces in his game.
Ayden Warren 2024
Holy Savior Menard High School
Ayden is a great finisher in traffic for his size. He is a very creative finisher with the ability to do so with either hand on either side of the rim. He is very skilled at taking the ball coast to coast and displayed his ability to snipe the bucket from all around the court. He even hit a one-legged half-court shot to beat the first-half buzzer. I was blown away by his ability to score the bucket at all three levels, and potentially even the fourth level, if his half-court shot, was any indication of his shot-making ability.
