No. 6 5’9 ’18 Treyton Smith (North Putnam HS)
Treyton Smith has a high basketball IQ and really understands and values teamwork. He gives maximum effort on both ends of the court and makes his teammates better. We were impressed with his court vision and ability to read the defense. He consistency made passes on time and on target. While somewhat undersized, Treyton is a solid rebounder for his position. He’s active especially on the defensive end of the court. More importantly, Treyton is a passer friendly PG that enjoys making the assist and getting his teammates involved in the offense.
No. 11 5’11 ’19 Luke Bumbalough (New Castle HS)
Luke was one of the most exciting players at the Indy Top 80. He is a tough as nails competitor that gives maximum energy and effort on both ends of the court. Luke averaged 14 PPG for the three games and demonstrated tremendous poise and maturity for a sophomore. Coach Bennett stated, “Luke is an excellent shooter on or off the dribble. He is very quick and sees the floor and is a great decision maker. In addition, Luke is a terrific defender on and off the ball.” We were impressed with his high basketball IQ and advanced understanding of the game. If he continues to grow and get stronger, we can easily see him outplay his current projections.
No. 24 6’0 ’18 Mike Robertson (Central Christian Academy)
Not many players come into a camp setting and make such an impression on the defensive end of the court. Mike Robertson did just that. Coach Bennett stated it best, “Mike is a great defender that can change a game with his defense.” Mike averaged 12 PPG and hit two 3-pointers in each contest. He scored from all three levels and demonstrated an excellent attitude and played well within the team structure. While he was hitting shots from the perimeter, Mike showcased the ability to dribble penetrate and finish at the rim.
No. 29 6’1 ’18 Keondre Brown (Ft. Wayne Snider HS)
Keondre is a quick, athletic scoring guard that can score from all three levels on the court. Coach Bennett stated, “Keondre was great at getting to the rim.” Throughout the day, Keordre demonstrated an “all out” approach to his game. He maintained a positive attitude and gave maximum effort on both ends of the court. We were impressed with his balance game. He simply took advantage of scoring opportunities, but managed to do it within the framework of the offense. In addition, Keondre has excellent court vision and ball handling skills.
No. 48 6’2 ’19 Dylan Romine (New Palestine HS)
Dylan has tremendous length (6’8 wingspan) and has the ability to knock down 3-pointers at an efficient rate. Dylan has a quick release and was terrific in a catch and shoot situation. Just a sophomore, Dylan has a promising game. He has above average athleticism and a nifty feel for the game. The game comes easy and he provides a nice blend of skill, IQ and understanding of how to make winning plays. Coach Bennett stated, “Dylan was one of the better 3-point shooters in attendance, great range and took high percentage shots.”
No. 64 6’6 ’19 David Ejah (Ft. Wayne Carroll)
Talk about upside and potential. David has a 7’2 wingspan, 8’4 reach and a 28.4” standing vertical. David showcased a full offensive arsenal. Coach Bennett stated, “David moves well without the ball and is tremendous at getting to the basket.” In our opinion, he has excellent tough and range and impressed us with his activeness. While he does need to add more strength, which will come with time and maturity, David has the ability to play and guard multiple positions on the floor. He has impeccable timing on rebounding and even blocking shots.
No. 66 6’4 ’17 Ian Kristensen (Westfield HS)
Playing at his home court, Ian found the rims and nets extremely friendly. In the one game we watched, he poured in a game high 24 points scoring from every possible spot on the floor. He was knocking down 3-pointers (four in this game), hit the midrange and finished at the rim. Coach Bennett stated, “Ian has great range, but also take the ball strong to the basket.” As an unsigned senior, Ian would be an amazing get especially at the D2 level. Ian has a 6’9 wingspan and a standing 34” vertical. What’s not to like! He has a unique blend of skill; scoring and athleticism that schools at the next level should covet.
No. 83 6’6 ’17 Kendall Bellamy (Lighthouse Charter)
Another unsigned senior that definitely helped his stock and value. We are talking about an athletic and lengthy wing that can flat out run the court. Coach Bennett stated, “Kendall moves well without the ball and is great at creating angles within the offense.” While he is still somewhat a little raw on the offensive end of the court, Kendall takes advantage of hustle opportunities to score in bunches. He has good, natural instincts on the court and would be a nice addition to a D2 program. We were impressed with his attitude, basketball IQ and overall effort throughout the day.
No. 80 6’8 ’17 Wyatt Hughes (Maconaquah HS)
You simply have to love a stretch 4 that has range and that’s exactly what Wyatt Hughes did throughout the day. Wyatt averaged 14 PPG for the camp and almost four 3-pointers. Coach Bennett stated, “Wyatt has NBA range on his jumper. He makes his teammates better and has always been a big time winner.” We were impressed with his hustle and how scrappy he was going for rebounds and loose balls. While he also needs strength, it’s tough to find a stretch four that can knock down 3-pointers so consistently as he did at the Indy Top 80.
No. 93 6’10 ’18 Jared Hofer (Ft. Wayne Carroll)
For someone his size, you have to be impressed with his soft shooting touch. While he is not the most athletic “big,” one thing is for certain, Jared provides you with a huge low post presence. He has passer friendly hands and solid footwork in the paint. Coach Bennett stated, “Jared has a great touch for a big. He is very strong and will only get better the harder he works.” Simply put, Jared is a blue collar workhorse that goes about his business in a workmanlike manner.
No. 49 6’2 ’18 Niah Williamson (New Castle HS)
Niah is the epitome of a true student athlete. He sports an amazing 3.8 GPA and has a high basketball IQ. He is fundamentally sound and has an excellent understanding of the game. While he is a passer friendly PG, he has the ability to knock down perimeter shots with consistency. Niah has NBA 3-point range and excels in a catch and shoot situation. We were impressed with his poise and maturity and you can tell he has been well coached. Coach Bennett stated, “Niah knows how to play the game. He’s such a smart and crafty player. Niah is a great example of a team player and makes his teammates better which is exactly what you want out of your point guard.” We were impressed with his competitive spirit and ability to make winning plays.
