6’3 G Ashton Wallace Ashton Wallace 6'4" | CG American Fork | 2023 State UT || American Fork High School || 2023 ||
Ashton is really turning the corner in his game as his development is taking a step up with his shooting and slashing. With two bigs on the floor at the same time it is often to congested in the lanes to get to the rim all the time so he is working that mid-range and long ball. He is moving well without the ball as usual even if he is not getting the ball he has solid movement that is either getting him open or he is pulling the defense away from the ball. Will have a bigger scoring role on his high school team than in the club but you can see his IQ and scoring ability.
6’5 SG Dutch Dowdell Dutch Dowdell 6'6" | SG Olympus | 2024 State #310 Nation UT || Olympus High School || 2023 ||
Dutch has an opportunity to really prove that he is the best shooter in the state as he will have the ball in his hands a lot. Can he do it off the bounce? Can he do it under pressure? These are the things that will distance him from everyone else because he is a knockdown shooter in a drive and kick situation. Dutch defends the ball and as his overall game continues to develop and his game expands he could be a very sought after prospect in the class of 2024.
6’5 W Andrew Miller Andrew Miller 6'3" | SG Palo Verde | 2025 UT || Palos Verde High School, NV || 2025 ||
If you haven’t heard of this kid you need to head over to IG and look him up because this kid is wild. Not only is he super bouncey, he has zero fear to attack anyone. In his last tournament running with the stars he was out there trying to dunk anything and everything. We will not be surprised if he continues to break the internet with his viral dunks. He is for sure going to be turning some heads.
6’9 F Malick Diallo Malick Diallo 6'9" | C Wasatch Academy | 2024 State #131 Nation UT || Juan Diego Catholic || 2024 ||
Malick is asserting his dominance as a 2024 prospect by playing up on the 17’s this season. Malick is a D1 big and he is in the right position to get more looks that will either bolster his stock or give him fuel to continue to develop his game. With a strong game already Malick is looking to get better this weekend. Could pull an offer or two this live period.
6’0 SG Cooper Lewis Cooper Lewis 6'1" | PG Lehi | 2024 State UT || Lehi High School || 2024 ||
Cooper is an interesting prospect that really turned it on late as he was lighting it up from deep. You put him on the floor with another big time shooter and you have trouble. As one of the only ball handling guys on his team he should really increase his ball handling ability as a PG. Could be a breakout Spring/Summer for Cooper.
