State Of Illinois Top 5 High School Players in Class Of 2013(sophmores)

1) Jabari Parker - Simeon (Chicago) 6'7" Guard-Forward - The undisputed leader of defending 4A State Champs, one of the top 5 sophmores in America. Parker is very skilled and a student of the game(son of ex-NBA player Sonny Parker), ball handling,midrange jumper,passing, and low post game are solid. More athletic than given credit for, has tons of schools already trailing him. Will be a McDonalds All-American senior year. 2) Thomas Hamilton - Whitney Young (Chicago) 6'9" Forward-Center- son of ex-NBA player Thomas Hamilton is the latest in a long line of talent at Young,very good three point shooter for any size, also a monster in the low post when he wants to be.  He needs to play with more intensity and keep weight under control. Seems to run the floor very well for his size. One to look out for and could also develop into a McDonalds All-American. 3) Alex Foster - DeLaSalle(Chicago) 6'7" Forward-Center - Played off the bench last year as a freshman, is strictly a low post player at this point, and a very good one. If he doesn't grow anymore will need to work on his wing skills, dribbling,outside shooting,etc. Will have a bigger role at DeLaSalle this year. 4) Kendrick Nunn Simeon (Chicago) 6'3" GUARD- Surprisingly got good playing time on a loaded squad as a freshman. All the talk is about Parker but this wing  guard has a myriad of skills. Outside shooting, passing, and ball handling skills are above average. Has a good chance to develop as a point guard in the future. 5) Billy Garrett  - Morgan Park (Chicago) 6'4" Guard - Good ball handling skills for a big guard. Can play point with his skill level, good decision making, and understanding of the game (son of  DePaul assistant coach Billy Garrett) can also hit the three pointer with consistency. With more strength has a very bright future. I HAD A HARD TIME WITH NUMBER 5 AS THERE WERE A LOT OF DESERVING GUYS. Jalen Tate- DeLaSalle(Chicago), Markee Williams - Morgan Park(Chicago) to name two. This is going to turn out to be a great class on par with Class of 2011. Next will be Class of 2012.
