TUCKER, Ga. — Eli Wright put on a show Wednesday on the court in Georgia, then mentioned a potential future that would shake up the 2016 Kentucky high school basketball scene.

The three-star Apollo shooting guard told the Daily News after his AAU program’s game at the adidas Gaunlet Series Finale that he’s considering attending prep school for his senior season.

That decision, which would likely be made around the end of July, would dictate the 6-foot-4, 185-pound prospect’s decision date.

Wright is considered one of the leading candidates for Kentucky’s 2016 Mr. Basketball award.

“If I go to prep school, then I’m probably going to commit in November,” Wright said. “If I don’t, I’m going to wait it out.”

Wright said he’s sticking with his top-10 list of schools he released in the spring, which included WKU, Alabama, Clemson, Florida, Middle Tennessee, Ohio State, Oklahoma State, Texas, Virginia Tech and Wake Forest.

He’s one of many WKU targets lauding the Hilltoppers’ hiring of assistant coach Chris Shumate. Like many of Kentucky’s top players, Shumate previously recruited Wright when he was an assistant at Tennessee.

Wright said the two “talked all the time” when Shumate was with the Vols.

“That’s cool, because that’s my guy,” Wright said. “Western’s close to home. It feels like home.”

Wright had a game-high 16 points for Hoop Dreams on Wednesday at Tucker High School, but Team Magic Elite won 54-51 on a 3-pointer at the buzzer.

Wright missed time on the AAU circuit in the spring with a leg injury. He’s had time to recuperate, and it showed as he displayed both his ability to drive to the basket and to hit the jumper. Wright’s ranked 125th in the nation by Rivals in the 2016 class.

“I’ve been working a lot,” Wright said. “I have a trainer, and I’ve been going through some rehab with my knees and stuff. That helped a lot.”

Wright averaged 20.6 points and 7.5 rebounds as a junior for Apollo.

The left-handed shooter said he’s mostly working on his right-handed skill work and his 3-point consistency this summer.

Apollo coach Steve Barker said Wright’s jumpshot has improved because of his work ethic, and that “if he plays the way he’s capable of playing, he’ll blow up these next few weeks.”

“He’s gotten a lot stronger body-wise just because he loves the weights,” Barker said. “He knows if he’s going to play at a high level – and he never was a weak kid – because he’s gotten stronger and filled out. That has enabled him to finish even stronger at the rim at traffic. That’s why so many of these high DIs are on him.

“He’s a slasher. He can split guys and get through defenses with relative ease and finish at the rim. There are a lot of guys who can’t do both. They can either slash but not finish, or they finish when it’s easy to finish. But he does it well in traffic.”
