One of the best kept secrets over on the Eastside as Peter has some solid game. He has some positional size as an on the ball guard and off the ball. Under-valued shooter as he is surrounded by players that let it fly but he can hold his own from the outside. His perimeter game does open up driving lanes that can allow him to get to the rim or simply find open players. He plays the game right which is what the next level is looking for.

Zuriel played some PG last season for JDCHS and he did a good job, but when he is off the ball he seems to be more comfortable coming off of screens. This is why he is a CG because he can kind of do it all out in the perimeter. He has a good shot and he has athleticism. Plays defense and gets out and runs. Zuriel does a good job of creating space for himself and it also creates passing lanes. As a creator he continues to improve. Has upside and could be a good find for a small school.
#51 6’0 PG Tyrese Lacey Tyrese Lacey 5'10" | PG Layton Christian | 2023 State UT || Layton Christian Academy || 2023 ||
This little PG is off the radar but he can go. He is a full-court “Cookie Monster” as he is a tough on the ball defender that gets steals and easy buckets. He is shifty but he is a straight-line get you a bucket player. He is a player those D2’s and NAIA’s should eb looking at that can defend all game and get free with his quickness and down-hill style of play.
#72 6’4 G Griffyn Doughty Griffyn Doughty 6'4" | PG Weber | 2023 State UT || Weber High School || 2023 ||
This kid has a smooth looking shot as he can shoot with range and he is not just a catch and shoot threat, he can move off of screen and stretch the floor. Could be really utilized as a slasher that goes inside and outside.
#84 6’2 G Cole Roberts Cole Roberts 6'1" | CG Cedar Valley | 2023 State UT || Cedar Valley High School || 2023 ||
Cole had a great sophomore season and the thing that he did well was shoot the ball. He hit some big three’s and next season he could really add to the total he tallied up this season. He brings a lot of value as he can score 20+ using the long ball but he can also hit those marks and beyond getting to the rim and using his off-ball movement to get open. Has an opportunity to really increase his scoring and also other statistical categories.
