IMG Academy landed another impact player for the upcoming season on Wednesday. The latest is 6-foot-10 junior power forward Bentley Lusakueno who comes from Woodward Academy in the greater Atlanta area. 

Lusakueno is the No. 9 overall-ranked prospect, the No. 1 power forward, and the top-ranked player in the state of Georgia for the class of 2028, according to 247Sports.

He currently holds 16 Division 1 offers from notable schools such as Auburn, Florida State, Georgia, Georgia Tech, and Iowa, among several others. He has not scheduled any upcoming visits as of right now.

During his sophomore season at Woodward Academy, Lusakueno averaged 15.1 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 1.9 blocks per game while shooting 49% from the field, 39% from behind the three-point line, and 76% from the free-throw line, according to MaxPreps. 

Scouting Report on Bentley Lusakueno: Lusakueno’s primary offensive weapon is his shooting ability, which allows him to space the floor effectively and pull opposing bigs away from the rim. He can hit from deep in catch-and-shoot situations, showing good form and a fluid release. On the defensive end, his significant length is a major factor, as he contests shots naturally and alters passing lanes using his size and speed to his advantage. Overall, his combination of offensive spacing and defensive disruption is what makes him such an intriguing prospect and a potential key factor on both ends of the court.
