17U Waller Perez Illinois Prep Bullseye Article

Sleeper #1

While we have talked about the outstanding job that Tony Martinucci has done in completely turning around the basketball program at Morton High School in Cicero, IL, a player who he have not yet mentioned is 6'4 2013 forward Waller Perez. Simply put, Perez was most solid at the Tip-Off Classic playing for the Chicago Demons Blue 17-Under squad and showed that he may be the most talented player in Morton's program right now. Perez is athletic and plays much stronger than his listed height. He is a warrior from start to finish and is especially strong along the baseline, where he is able to utilize his strength and athleticism to consistently attack the basket. In addition, Perez can put the ball on the floor and has the ability to pull up and hit shots out to the 3-point line although he can be streaky. Perez showed us more than enough to make us believe that he is a player that low and mid majors should be taking a close look at.

Joshua Wilkes has High Expectations this Travel Season

Joshua Wilkes has expectations for the 2012 season.  The 6'1" guard has improved his ball handling and developed a nice outside shot.  He is expected to carry a heavy load this upcoming travel season.  Joshua will be playing more at the point this year, with his aggresiveness and high motor we expect him to excel.
