Yves Missi

2024 | 6-11 Big | PSA Cardinals (EYBL) & Prolific Prep (CA) 

Recruitment: Holds offers from the likes of Kansas, Baylor, Indiana, Syracuse, UCLA, Michigan, LSU, and more 

Analysis: Missi is a long, high motor, and raw athlete with one of the highest ceilings in the 2024 class. His combination of positional size (6-11), length, and athleticism make up for an intriguing prospect on both ends of the floor. He’s an agile rim runner that has the mobility and foot speed to beat opposing bigs down the floor for easy points. Missi has a high release hook shot in the post with his strong hand that is an effective go to move against smaller bigs. He can space the floor vertically by using his soft hands, quick verticality, and positional size to finish above the rim. He’s still developing as a perimeter shooter, however he’s capable of knocking down open face-up jumpers in the 12-15 foot area.  Missi does a good job taking advantage of mismatches and sealing opponents out of switches in the pick & roll. The next step in his offensive development is adding range and consistency to his jumpshot. He’s a productive positional rebounder that does a good job using his physical tools to control the glass. Missi is an elite rim protector with natural shotblocking and timing instincts. He still has plenty of room to add strength to his frame which will help benefit his game on both ends of the floor. He's apart of a retooled, yet highly talented Prolific Prep team this upcoming season.
