Keba is a force and he will try and dunk everything if possible, He is strong and agile with his game and he runs the floor with the best bigs in the country. He is a rim protecting, shot blocking athlete that can rotate over and cause havoc.
6’8 Jack Wistrcill Jack Wistrcill 6'8" | PF Olympus | 2022 State UT || Olympus High School || 2022 ||
Crafty big man with skills and moves to rival any other big. Great counters to what defenses do to stop him. His ability to step out and shoot the three ball really makes him tough to scout and defend.
6’11 Bron Roberts Bron Roberts 6'11" | SF Pleasant Grove | 2023 State UT || Timpanogos High School || 2023 ||
Bron is going to be the premier big man in the Class of 2023. He is long and lean and he is starting to play a tougher brand of basketball. He is blocking shots and he is really developing a back to the basket game that goes a long with smooth looking jumper. Bron can hit those 15-foot jumpers with ease and he is starting to hit the long ball with ease as well.
6’9 Lyman Simmons Lyman Simmons 6'10" | PF RSL Academy | 2023 State UT || Snow Canyon High School || 2023 ||
Lyman has one of the most smooth hooks. Lyman can go over both shoulders and finish against bigs and against smaller player he just powers his way t the basket. He has developed a really good trail game as he can dive to the basket and get to the rim or stop and pop at the three-point line. This year could be a big year for Lyman as he has matured physically.
6’9 Malick Diallo Malick Diallo 6'9" | C Wasatch Academy | 2024 State #131 Nation UT || Juan Diego Catholic || 2024 ||
Malick is going to turn into one of the best bigs in the country in his age group. Especially if he finds a way to play on the biggest stage in high school and the grassroots circuit as well. Malick is an athletic big that can go and grab anything up near the rim. He can also defends and move laterally. He is still learning the game but with his international presence and experience he could really make a name for himself nationally.
6’8 Jaxon Johnson Jaxon Johnson 6'8" | SF Alta | 2024 State #106 Nation UT || Alta High School || 2024 ||
Jaxon is going to be the player that increases his stock this year as he will see a lot of varsity minutes and he will be able to display his stretch 4 ability. One of his best qualities is that he can really step out and shoot the ball. Kid is a major threat out in the perimeter. Look fo rhim to have some monster games this year in his sophomore year campaign.
