Below we highlight several additional D-1 prospects in the 2021 and 2022 classes that stood out in Utah.
Kaden Perry 6’9” 2021 Battleground (WA)
Bouncy and active Gonzaga-bound PF is one of the most underrated players in the nation. Perry plays with intensity on both ends of floor and is a premier finisher and rim-protector. Runs floor extremely well and has real face-up ability as well. Forms arguably the best 1-2 interior AAU punch in nation with Seattle Rotary teammate Paolo Banchero.
