We continue our run through Indiana class rankings today with the class of 2013. Six of the top ten prospects have already made college commitments including Collin Hartman and Devin Davis Jr. to Indiana. If you have any questions about the rankings, feel free to address them in the comments.
10. Nick Davidson, Andrean: Davidson is one of the better overall shooters in the 2013 class. He is a great threat to catch and shoot from 3-point range, but is improving his ability to pull-up and knock down mid-range jumpers and 3-pointers. The Andrean junior, who has committed to Valparaiso, is also a great free throw shooter and has a knack for getting to the line and converting at a high rate. Davidson knows when to make the right pass and uses his instincts to defend opponents reliably. Two areas Davidson could look to improve are his ability to get to the rim and score and his lateral quickness.
9. Brenton Scott, Ft. Wayne Northrop: Although not as highly touted in recruiting circles as his twin brother, Bryson, Brenton is a strong guard who makes the right decisions. He’s not as athletic or great at getting to the rim as Bryson, but has the slight edge as an outside shooter. Scott is also a smart passer who knows when to look for his own shot and when to defer to others. He rebounds the ball well from the guard position and is a willing defender every time he steps on the floor.
8. Zavier Turner, Indianapolis Pike: Turner is a lightening quick guard who excels at getting past his man to score tough buckets. Standing at just 5-foot-8, Turner has good strength and will go up against larger opponents in the paint to finish or earn trips to the foul line. He is also a capable shooter from 3-point range and he’s at his best shooting off the bounce in the half-court or in transition. Turner’s size can limit him somewhat defensively, but he uses his quickness well to defend on the ball and stay in front of his opponents. Wired to score, one area where Turner could improve is by looking to get teammates involved more consistently.
