Scouting: IBCA Top 100 Workout

Each year the Indiana Basketball Coaches' Association (IBCA) holds one of the top events of the year, the Top 100 Workout. (OK, it's closer to 120 players...but still.) It's been given more juice since the NCAA opened up two evaluation periods for D1 coaches in 2019. A change for...

Scouting ’22: Will Lovings-Watts, shooting guard; Jeffersonville

Blessed with incredible length, Will Lovings-Watts looks the part of a natural finisher, and he backs it up with his progressing shot making and athleticism. WLW glides when he's attacking off the dribble. Early returns on his game were based on around length and size, mostly successful around the...

Scouting ’22: Peter Suder, 6’4″ small forward; Carmel

Starting on a state championship team as a freshman, Suder's role was a motor guy and a plus-defender, even as a freshman. He made plays on the offensive glass. He made hustle plays. They didn't need him to score. His play last year evolved immediately to that of...

Scouting ’22: Landen Babusiak 6’9″ Center; Hanover Central

Good quality big men come at a premium. Landen fits the bill if you are looking for one with a great body, size, and who has a high ceiling. He rebounds well on both ends, and prides himself on his defense. I also love how he runs the floor...

Scouting ’22: CJ Gunn, 6’5″ shooting guard; Lawrence North

Watching his game development from the start of the school season through late summer, has mostly been about seeing him be more aggressive with the basketball. Playing alongside three other D1 caliber teammates at Lawrence North -- Tony Perkins ('20, Iowa, Indiana all-star) and DJ Hughes ('21, Butler) and...

Scouting ’22: Braden Smith, 6’0″ point guard; Westfield

Braden Smith is at the top of the list of best vision in the class, maybe the best vision in the state. Leading Westfield to their best season in 15 years, he seems poised to take them higher the next two seasons, as Westfield's top three players are all...

Scouting ’22: Jalen Jackson, 6’1″ point guard; Carroll (FW)

You really can't get on the floor for Carroll unless you hit the weight room. Jalen Jackson certainly fits that bill. Carroll was a different team when he wasn't on the floor. He is a score first point guard, but the ball doesn't stick with him. Need to see...

Scouting ’22: Kaleo Kakalia, 6’6″ power forward; Mishawaka Marian

Really like this kids upside! Kaleo is someone I was able to see 4 times this last season, and each time I saw an improvement in one part of his game or another. One thing holding him back in the contests I saw was foul trouble. Kaleo is a...

Scouting ’22: Travis Grayson, 6’0″ point guard; Chesterton

Bulldog. That is the word that comes to mind when you see the 5'10" guard from Chesterton take the floor. Love his game. Can shoot it, will take you to the rim and finish, or he'll drive in on you and make a great pass for an assist. Isn't...

Scouting ’22: Leland Walker, 6’0″ point guard; North Central

Vs. Noblesville (scrimmage) Evident from watching Leland Walker is how much more in control he is on the court. Walker was able to pick his spots and was decisive in transition and in the half court. He finished well in traffic and did a great finding Charlie Peterson (6'8" senior -...
