On Jan. 29, the PBR Illinois team hosted the first-ever Preseason ProCase for potential draft prospects at the Pullman Community Center in Chicago. The event featured high-level players hailing from Illinois and Wisconsin and gave them an opportunity to show off their skills to our staff for the first time in 2022.
Our staff collaborated to highlight the biggest takeaways and highlights from Saturday’s showcase, and we’re publishing them within our Quick Hits piece. Over the next couple of days we’ll be diving deeper into all of the data we collected rolling out even more coverage from the event.
Today, we’ll take a look at the prospects that topped our statistical leaderboards from Saturday’s event.
