Continue ReadingThe IBCA Top 100 Showcase took place on Saturday at Brownsburg High School and it turned out to be an incredible event. This was the first live period in June and our Indiana prospects showed out in full force in front of tons of D1 coaches. Let us take a look at forward/post evaluations from session 1 on Saturday.
JaQualon Roberts JaQualon Roberts 6'8" | PF Bloomington North | 2023 State IN – 6’7 2023 PF – Bloomington North: Roberts was an absolute force here on Saturday. Defense had a hard time containing him and he was getting so many buckets from behind the arc. Honestly, this might have been the best shooting performance I have seen from him.
Anthony Ball Anthony Ball 6'6" | PF Decatur Central | 2023 State IN – 6’6 2023 PF – Beech Grove: Ball is a monster down low but kind of got away from that a little bit here. He focused way too much on taking defender 1 vs 1 from the wing and it often times resulted in a turnover. With his back to the basket, he can one of the best posts in the state.
Zane Doughty Zane Doughty 6'8" | C Ben Davis | 2023 State IN – 6’9 2023 C – Ben Davis: It took a little bit but Doughty got it going around the basket and was simply tough to stop. Rebounded very well and had some athletic finishes. Has made so much improvement to his game.
Nickens Lemba Nickens Lemba 6'6" | PF Southport | 2023 State IN – 6’6 2023 PF – Southport: Say this all the time but Lemba is easily one of the best rebounders in the state. However, he was way too out of control on the offense at times and had trouble passing the ball. Did like his defense however and he did a good job on the closeouts.
David Meriwether David Meriwether 6'10" | C Lawrence North | 2023 UT – 6’10 2023 C – Indianapolis Metro: There is not a post out there that has made more improvements to his overall game that Meriwether has. His motor is high now and his handles and footwork are much, much better. Even took the ball up the floor at times, which really blew me away.
Jermaine Coleman Jermaine Coleman 6'7" | SF Park Tudor | 2023 State IN – 6’7 2023 SF – Park Tudor: No question that Coleman is talented but needs to be more aggressive at times. Incredible athletic ability which translates well on the defense. Scoring was the big issues here.
Preston Roberts Preston Roberts 6'5" | SF Noblesville | 2023 State IN – 6’5 2023 SF – Noblesville: Roberts is really making a case as the most underrated player in the entire state. Shot the ball so well from deep off the catch and played great through contact. Also was explosive on the drive.
Jake Davis Jake Davis 6'6" | SF Cathedral | 2023 State IN – 6’6 2023 SF – Cathedral: Was real impressed with the passing ability shown by Davis here. Shot the ball well from deep like expected and played a bit more inside that what I have seen. Good day for the talented wing.
Flory Bidunga Flory Bidunga 6'9" | C Kokomo | 2024 State #7 Nation IN – 6’10 2024 C – Kokomo: Flory again was impressive here. Pick-and-roll was tough to stop and he again was showing off some monster dunks. Just improving every time I watch him.
