Rising Star Alex Alston: Chicago's Serbian Sniper | Sports Spotlight

January 29, 2025
Aleks Alston earned the nickname "Serbian Sniper" for his shooting range while representing Chicago basketball at Kenwood Academy.

Why do they call him the Serbian Sniper? Aleks Alston's shooting range answers that question. The Kenwood Academy guard in Chicago developed under his father, a former college player and coach. After recovering from a serious injury, Alston has drawn offers from Arizona State, Gonzaga, Michigan State, LSU, and Indiana. His unlimited range makes him a threat from anywhere beyond the arc.
