In this article:
The highly sought-after D-III prospect averaged 15.7 points, 3.6 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.4 steals per game while nailing 90 threes at a 42% clip. The heady playmaker is patient with the ball and looks to make the extra pass. King’s Ridge enters the season ranked No. 1.
The reigning Class A-Private Freshman of the Year dumped in 19.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 2.3 steals per game. Tucker’s game is mature beyond his years. The three-level scorer has an extra gear when hunting his offense.
The 6-foot-9 forward averaged 13.7 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game. Scott connected on 40% of his threes and has the ability to play inside-out.
LJ has a chance to announce his presence to the entire state as he moves into the role of being the top scoring option for the Redskins. The southpaw is a high energy athlete that plays hard on both ends of the floor. His three-point shot has developed into a huge weapon with his ability to create space off the dribble. Jackson averaged 11 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game a season ago and could be a candidate for Most Improved Player this year.
Standing around 6-foot-10, Jobe is a floor spacing big man that can shoot the three as well as any guard. If defenders start to run Jobe off the line, he’s skilled enough to put the ball on the floor to get to the rim. He’s also a capable low block scorer with a nice hook shot. Defensively, he will be a game changer with his length.
