Illinois Hoops Prospects
10/23/22 to 10/23/22
Tyler Smith (Guard, Wheaton Academy 2025): The most impressive sophomore in the group. Smith’s size, athleticism, and skill stood out. He’s got a solid frame with ideal height for a young two guard. As a slasher, he drives hard to his right hand and is very explosive around the rim. His driving ability is complemented well by his shooting, hitting a few threes and displaying a consistent and fluid release. Smith also projects well on the defensive end, running down a player for a block and guarding multiple positions. He’ll be a good player for WA. (www.illinoishoopsprospects.com 10/25/2022)

COACHES EVALUATION: A middle schooler with lots of heart and confidence. A smart passer and a good penetrator with a nice shot. A decent ballhandler and a good transition guard. A guard that will get deflections on defense. He passes and screens well with others. He will look to pull up for the mid range shot in transition. Moves well without the ball on offense and will show signs of attack mode. Work on his ballhandling skills and go somewhere with the basketball. Be a better on ball defender and quicker with footwork and agility. Be consistent on perimeter shooting. Continuous development will help his recruitment in a few years.

COACHES EVALUATION: A smart guard that has a nice cross er displayed in the event a few times. He likes to create off the dribble to drive and score or kick to others. A decent ballhandling guard. A good hustle player on offense and defense. A kid that does a nice job of anticipating passes on defense. Will go hard after loose balls. A decent on ball defender who will get physical sometimes. Work on ball handling to break down defense off the dribble. Look to develop his shot and create better shot selection. Work on his passing and court awareness and vision to help with your personnel. He will bet better in a few years with solid development.
