| Indiana | Name | HT | Pos | High School | Level | College_Choice | Overall_Notes | |
| 1 | Caleb Swanigan | 6-8 | PF | Fort Wayne (IN) Homestead | High-Major | Undecided |
| |
| 9 | Josh Speidel | 6-7 | PF | Columbus (IN) North | Mid-Major | Vermont | Severly injured in a car accident early in Feburary, he is still in the hospital as of mid-March. The 6-foot-7-inch forward loves to use shot fakes in the mid-range and to get defenders off-balance. He has limited liftSpeidel has to be a stretch 4 at the next level because of his athelticism/size. | |
| 10 | Bronson Kessinger | 6-6 | PF | Corydon (IN) Central | Mid-Major | Indiana State | Broke leg in January. Bouncy athlete that is a great rebounder. He has a good first step. He can only go right off the dribble right now. He will compete on both ends. Shooting form makes it tough for him to be a consistent shooter outside of 12 feet. | |
| 11 | Tahjai Teague | 6-8 | PF | Indianapolis (IN) Pike | Mid-Major | Ball State | Recent took his ACT. Grades have improved where he should qualify. extremely long with over a 7-foot wingspan. He shot it well from the perimeter this spring and high school year. Consistency with his effort and focus is lacking a little bit right now. Academics are also a question mark as he has often been academically ineligible so far at Pike but I hear he had a great year in the clasroom. He seems more focused and under control this spring. | |
| 14 | Alex Olesinski | 6-8 | PF | LaPorte (IN) La Lumiere | Mid-Major | UCLA | Lefty. Solid size, wide shoulders, adding muscle to his frame, will drive when defenders close out too hard, not going to create off the dribble otherwise. Will battle on the glass. Average but not elite outside shooter. | |
| 24 | Ryan Welage | 6-8 | PF | Greensburg (IN) HS | Low-Major | San Jose State | Stretch 5 at the next level. Consistent finisher around the basket. Range has extended to the three point line now.. Competes on the glass. Thin build with narrow shoulders. | |
| 29 | Gary Bonds | 6-8 | PF | Indianapolis (IN) Scecina | Low-Major | IUPUI | Loaded with potential. Great length with a soft touch. He has the ability to step out and hit shots in the 15-19 foot range. His skill set and physical strength have not made the jump that I expected him to make yet. Strength and aggressiveness would improve his game dramatically. | |
| 32 | Vance Johnson | 6-7 | PF | Merrillville (IN) Midwest Elite Prep | Low-Major | Undecided | Good athlete, easy/quick leaper around the rim. Plus length, runs well. Decent form on free-throw although the release is a little low, struggle in traffic especially in the post, below average outside shooter. Showed a poor attitude with teammates, motor was poor after a mistake or he didn't get the ball when he wanted it. | |
| 37 | Brennan Gillis | 6-5 | PF | Indianapolis (IN) Ben Davis | Low-Major | Northern Kentucky | Lefty. Solid frame. Fair athlete for the D1 level but not overly explosive in terms of leaping, fair quickness for power forward position. Shooting has improved throughout his high school career; it needs to continue to improve and expand to succeed at the next level. Not comfortable putting the ball on the floor for more than 2 dribbles. | |
| 41 | Paul Forman | 6-7 | PF | Churubusco (IN) HS | Low-Major Stretch | Bethel | Stretch 4. Average athlete. Versatile skill set at 6-7, 215. Forman is able to put the ball on the floor in the half court. Solid shooter from the outside. Able to score with back to the basket on the block. | |
| 46 | Jesse Kempson | 6-7 | PF | Indianapolis (IN) Heritage Christian | Low-Major Stretch | Indianapolis | 6-7, strong build. Better vertical athlete than he is a lateral athlete. He had a 2-hand dunk in traffic. Average athlete for the D2 level. Fair shooting form but he has little arc which leads to inconsistency. Handles the ball a lot with good vision. Not sure how that will translate to the next level. | |
| 54 | Milan Skundric | 6-6 | PF | Merrillville (IN) Midwest Elite Prep | D2 | Undecided | 6-6, 6-7. Serbian native. Stretch four. Decent outside shooter. lacks quickness off the dribble. | |
| 60 | Nick Jeffirs | 6-6 | PF | Crown Point (IN) HS | D2 | St. Joe's (IN) | 6-6, 200. Strong, good athlete, finishes above the rim with ease, solid mid-range shooter. His shooting form will allow him to extend his range with work. Finishes well with either hand around the basket. | |
| 64 | De'Sean Summer | 6-7 | PF | Evansville (IN) Bosse | D2 | Undecided | Dominating around the basket. Scoring 17 points and 12 rebounds per game while shooting 71% from the field. | |
| 72 | Dre'on Lewis | 6-6 | PF | Indianapolis (IN) Howe | D2 | Undecided | Lefty, thick/strong build, sturggled to score in the post, incosistent from the mid-range, did have a dunk in traffic. Below average motor. | |
| 73 | Christian Jacobs | 6-6 | PF | Gary (IN) West Side | D2 | Undecided | Game has improved slightly. Not an overly explosive athlete, but his feet are pretty good. Aggressiveness needs to be turned up. He has good length. | |
| 84 | Rade Kukobat | 6-7 | PF | Gary (IN) Lighthouse | D2 | Undecided | Solid athlete, limited skill set. Did not show much toughness in the past. | |
| 88 | Aaron Thomas | 6-6 | PF | Fort Wayne (IN) Northrop | NAIA | IU-East | Thomas will likely play football in college, where he is a wide receiver prospect. As a basketball prospect, he is raw offensively, scoring exclusively at the rim. Cleans up the glass on both ends and uses his length and athleticism to block or alter shots | |
| 94 | Isaiah Carpenter | 6-7 | PF | Lafayette (IN) Harrison | NAIA | Undecided | Active rebounder and shot blocker. Finishes well around the basket. Does not shoot it well. | |
| 96 | Addison Wagler | 6-5 | PF | Montgomery (IN) Barr-Reeve | NAIA | Undecided | Strong post player that uses shot fakes well to score. He did not use his left hand against Marquette with more than 5 opportunities to do so. Wagler creates space with his wide frame. Averaged 15 PPG, 5.4 RPG as a junior. | |
| 101 | Tylor Shane | 6-5 | PF | Indianapolis (IN) Ben Davis | NAIA | Undecided | 6-6, 210. Great frame, build. Great leaper around the basket. Soft touch in the paint. Follow thru is good on shot but needs more lift on the shot. | |
| 105 | K.J. Coleman | 6-5 | PF | Colverdale (IN) HS | NAIA | Undecided | Power forward that has shown flashes in terms of shooting and ball handling but needs to be a bit more consistent. Solid athlete that has put up big numbers for Cloverdale in his senior year. | |
| 113 | Andrew Scott | 6-5 | PF | Vincennes (IN) South Knox | NAIA | Undecided | 20 points, 6 rebounds, shooting well from the outside midway through the season. Finishes well around the basket. | |
| 115 | Ethan Woodrow | 6-5 | PF | Fountain Central | NAIA | Wisconsin-Platteville | Solid build, can play on the perimeter, limited athlete. | |
| 116 | Josh Falls | 6-7 | PF | Gary (IN) Roosevelt | NAIA | Undecided | Thin build, wasn't strong with the ball. Fair athlete, ok feet. Didn't show much skill or aggressiveness. | |
| 119 | Nigel Kilby | 6-7 | PF | Fort Wayne (IN) Northrop | NAIA | Undecided | Kilby is a great athlete and can play above the rim. Good hands and rebounds well. Awkward shooting form means his perimeter effectiveness is nonexistent. Decent build with wide shoulders, so it is possible to add some more weight on his frame | |
| 123 | Jared Thomas | 6-3 | PF | Indianapolis (IN) Cathedral | NAIA | Northwestern (FB) | Glue guy on the basketball court. Rebounds. Decent spot-up shooter. Lacks lift. | |
| 127 | Logan White | 6-4 | PF | Avon (IN) HS | NAIA | Undecided | Undersized power forward that is an okay athlete, rebounds really well, has a solid outside shot, tough, and plays with a motor. Very good small college prospect. | |
| 128 | Dion Harris | 6-5 | PF | South Bend (IN) Clay | NAIA | Undecided | Combo forward. Thick build. Good strength. Some ball skills. Not an explosive athlete. | |
| 131 | Khalil Williams | 6-5 | PF | Anderson (IN) HS | NAIA | Undecided | JUCO prospect. Raw with potential describes Williams. He plays bigger than his 6-5 height. Good athlete, great length, showed some instincts like a decent post move over a defender. He could develop into a player at a JUCO. | |
| 135 | Quincey Johnson | 6-5 | PF | South Bend (IN) Washington | NAIA | Undecided | Strong, fair athlete, rebounds really well. Finishes at the basket decently. | |
| 138 | Jajuan Starks | 6-4 | PF | Fort Wayne (IN) North | D3 | Undecided | Did all his damage at or near the rim. Very physical on the block and can out quick or out leap his opponent. Did not shoot a single jump shot last night. Had a few turnovers and could stand to rebound better given his build and athleticism. Is a very good athlete and nearly hit his head on the rim during one converted alley oop. Lack or a perimeter game could hold him back with being in the 6'4-6'5 range. | |
| 148 | Steven Pergola | 6-6 | PF | Newburgh (IN) Castle | D3 | Undecided | Skilled, limited athlete, averaging 12 points and 5 rebounds as a senior. | |
| 149 | Richard McNamee | 6-5 | PF | Jennings County | D3 | Undecided | Solid build. Looks like a decent athlete. He had a couple of solid post moves. He was patient inside. I would like to see more of McNamee but he looked like at minimum a small college prospect. | |
| 154 | Various Wilson | 6-4 | PF | Indianapolis (IN) Shortridge | D3 | Undecided | Strong build. Uses his body to get rebounds. Not a great leaper or athlete. Positions himself well for rebounds. Soft touch around the basket. Nearly all of his production comes from the paint. Received a lot of attention for his hardship story in the IndyStar. | |
| 160 | Nikola Mandic | 6-5 | PF | Munster (IN) HS | D3 | Undecided | Basically a pure post at this point because he is not very good away from the basket. He is physical and posts well. He finished well against Huntington North, but they did not have too much of a post presence. Mandic has a strong build. It seems like his game has progressed well over the last year. He has a chance to be a small college prospect. | |
| 161 | Tiger Guillroy | 6-5 | PF | Fishers (IN) Hamilton Southeastern | D3 | Undecided | 6-4, 6-5. Excellent leaper. Blocks shots. Motor needs to be turned up. Very limited offensive skill set. | |
| 162 | Christian Bridwell | 6-7 | PF | Whitestown (IN) Traders Point | D3 | Undecided | Decent spot-up shooter. Below average athlete for D1 level. Plays pretty hard. Good attitude. | |
| 166 | Josh Martindale | 6-5 | PF | Bloomington (IN) South | D3 | Undecided | ||
| 168 | Nick White | 6-5 | PF | New Albany (IN) HS | D3 | Undecided | Strong, good leaper, decent feet. Limited ball skills away from the basket. Fair/average mid-range jump shot. NAIA or D3 prospect could also possibly play at the JUCO level. | |
| 171 | Alex Pilz | 6-6 | PF | Osgood (IN) Jac-Cen-Del | D3 | Undecided | Strong, athletic post player. Good small college option. | |
| 173 | Chandler Aspy | 6-3 | PF | Westview (IN) | D3 | Undecided | Strong post player that can also play in the midrange...can hit 15 footer and put the ball on the floor for a dribble. Very good at finishing around the basket. | |
| 174 | Chris Pappas | 6-5 | PF | Zionsville (IN) HS | D3 | Undecided | Added strength over the last year. He is now 6-5, 190. He has improved throughout his high school career. Decent lift although not overly explosive. Struggles a bit laterally. Offensive game still needs refinement, but is on the upward trend. | |
| 180 | Logan Godfrey | 6-7 | PF | Fort Wayne (IN) Snider | D3 | Undecided | 3.7 GPA. Tough. Has had limited playing time for Snider to this point in his career. | |
| 181 | Logan Kirby | 6-5 | PF | Bloomington (IN) South | D3 | Undecided | Limited minutes, but Kirby is a stretch four. He has the ability to make shots from the outside. He's not a very good athlete. | |
| 185 | DaKwon Brooks | 6-4 | PF | Indianapolis (IN) Scecina | D3 | Undecided | Excellent rebounder and competitor. Lacks size but makes up for it with solid athleticism and toughness. Could definitely be a role player for most NAIA and D3 programs. | |
| 187 | Vincent Phillips | 6-4 | PF | Anderson (IN) Liberty Christian | D3 | Undecided | Strong frame, can hit a midragne jumper, not many ball skills | |
| 190 | Garrett Paull | 6-4 | PF | Arcadia (IN) Hamilton Heights | D3 | Undecided | Shoots it well from the outside. Can handle the ball in space, struggles when pressured. Decent athlete, good touch around the basket. | |
| 197 | Matthew Anjorin | 6-3 | PF | Merrillville (IN) Andrean | D3 | Undecided | Undersized post but makes up for it with his touch. Slightly below average laterally on the perimeter for an NAIA power forward. Limited face-up skills right now. | |
| 203 | Marcus Boyd | 6-6 | PF | Indianapolis (IN) Tech | D3 | Undecided | Long, lanky, a little raw due to limited time playing quality competition. He showed a very nice 15-foot jumper. Not explosive in the paint. | |
| 205 | Robert McMichel | 6-4 | PF | Indianapolis (IN) Crispus Attucks | D3 | Undecided | Long, average athlete, unorthodox form on his shot, low release on his shot. Didn't put the ball on the floor much if at all. | |
| 219 | Kurry Miller | 6-5 | PF | Arcadia (IN) Hamilton Heights | D3 | Undecided | He is a wide body that has a smooth outside stroke when he has time and space. He does not move very well |
