#33 6’0 PG Maddux Albers Maddux Albers 5'11" | PG Hillcrest | 2023 State UT || Hillcrest High School || 2023 ||
Maddux has been good since he was a freshman but you could start to see some good growth in his game. Maddux controls the ball and the offense well. With a good IQ and vision Maddux could really help himself and others with his passing ability. Maddux can shoot and create space to get his shots off. Maddux does a good job getting in the lane and finishing. Could take his team to another level next season.
#36 6’7 SF Daishaun Buie Daishaun Buie 6'6" | C Jordan | 2023 State UT || Murray High School || 2023 ||
Daishaun has made the transfer to Murray and he was serviceable backing up another big in-front of him as most of the time his team went with more guards on the floor. Daishaun runs the floor and when he rim runs he is at his best because he has soft hands and he loves to elevate and try and dunk everything. With skill around the rim and with his left hand he still has room to grow.
#42 6’4 W Junior Higby Junior Higby 6'5" | CG RSL Academy | 2023 State UT || RSL Academy || 2023 ||
Junior Higby Junior Higby 6'5" | CG RSL Academy | 2023 State UT has come a long way since being buried on the bench over at Brighton. Junior has been a great addition over at RSL Academy. Junior can defend 2-4 and he holds his own against the 1 and the 5. He shoots the ball well and he does a lot of the little things to get some good lucks on the offensive end. Junior will do all the dirty work and he works hard on screens and getting boards all over the place. Will be a good find for a small school.
#44 6’9 C Brayden Whitehead Brayden Whitehead 6'10" | C Bingham | 2023 State UT || Bingham High School || 2023 ||
Best shot blocker in the state per minutes. While Brayden wasn’t starting he was protecting the paint better than anyone for the amount of minutes that he would play. He is not afraid to get his hands up and simply alter shots. He is still raw and in time if he puts in that work he could be one of those players that if courted correctly could really add a lot of size and simple defensive stopping attributes to a team.
#57 6’6 SF Maverick McManus Maverick McManus 6'6" | SF Westlake | 2023 State UT || Westlake High School || 2023 ||
When you’re at Westlake it is the next man up. Maverick is the next man up and with some athleticism he will be able to fill in that position as a SF that Westlake seems to develop nicely. With minimal minutes this season he will get more and he could really turn some heads.
