Decatur (IL) Christian

Staiger is a quality outside shooter who has good form on his shot and shoots it with confidence. It takes more than a few misses to get him rattled. He handles the ball well and creates well off the dribble using his good court vision and passing ability. He has surprisingly good athleticism but his shot selection does need to improve a bit.

Stewart handles the ball well in the open floor and can also handle point guard responsibilities when Jones is off the floor. He plays with good composure and is going to be a key component to his team's success this season. He shooting needs to gain consistency but overall he appears to be a very promising player.

Paramore possesses excellent speed and quickness and is built in the mold of a traditional Chicago guard. He plays solid on the ball defense who pressures the ball extremely well. If Washington is going to make noise this year look for Paramore to be a key contributor to their success.

Washington (IL)

The MSH #1 shooter in the state. Roth is a spectacular outside shooter who is never out of range. He has an excellent stroke that has you expecting every shot that leaves his fingertips to go in. Roth continues to work on his game. He now has the ability to not only catch and shoot but has shown that he can create a little separation off the dribble in order to get off a good release. He also has begun to hit shots with a hand in his face. Roth is a zone buster who MSH can see competing at the high major level in college because he has something that every team wants in his outside shooting.

Chicago (IL) George Washington

The most talented player in his class and possibly all the state. Liggins has a true gift for the game of basketball. He is a very athletic player who runs the floor well. He handles the ball extremely well and has excellent court vison that allows him to make some great passes that wow the crowd. He has a solidi outside shot and a good stroke that indicates he will only become even more consistent over time. Liggins has yet to fit all the pieces to the puzzle. He still needs to refine his point guard skills and assert himself more in the game but if he ever fully realizes his talent, look out!
