Little Rock, AR (Future150) -- For several years now, there have been a bevy of highly regarded prospects who have been sitting at the top of the class of 2019 rankings since the beginning of their middle school days.
While it's likely that several stars of the class will remain front-and-center for years to come, there is a new name beginning to emerge in the state of Arkansas.
Little Rock Christian (AR) point guard Justice Hill burst onto the scene at 7th Grade Nationals in Memphis this past June. He then followed his standout performance with big showings at PrimeTime Nationals in Dallas, Texas in late July & Future150's Elite 24 Camp in early August.
With a skillset and poise well beyond his years, he shredded our Elite 24 Camp with his flashy court vision and scoring skills. We had this to say about him after his camp performance:
"The most impressive 2019 prospect in attendance was the 5-foot-10 point guard. With skills beyond his years, he was equally effective creating for others as well as scoring the ball himself. It was impossible for defenders to keep him in front of them and he showed good athleticism as well on his drives to the basket.
After being rated as the #1 overall standout in the 2019 class at camp, it looks like he is now in prime position to enter the national rankings when we do our update in the coming months.
Stay with us as we continue to monitor the 5-foot-10 floor general over the coming months.
