Malaun Grayer (Young & Reckless)
The 6’4” Kenwood small forward has good length and versatility on the defensive end. Smooth athlete that can get to the charity stripe on drives and score off the bounce. Best basketball is ahead of him.
Vijay Wallace (Young & Reckless)
Wallace is a combo guard listed at only 6’1”, but plays much taller than that. He can really score whether it is in transition, give and go, runners, and even hit a corner three. Was effective as a defensive player as well. Like the upside of this Kenwood guard.
Malik Jenkins (Young & Reckless)
Jenkins is a strong bodied and angular wing that we have seen shine with The Work Foundation earlier on the circuit. He fit right in with Y&R. Two way player that slashes getting conversions through his opponents. Creative with the ball in his hands and can hit an occasional open jumper.
Joseph Rodriguez (HIT)
The Taft 6’5” four man is a power player that uses a combination of physicality, footwork, and touch around the hoop for scores. Efficient with his post touches.
Caleb Jenkins (R.I.S.E.)
Jenkins is a 6’6” thick bodied five man from De La Salle who flashed nimble footwork around the hoop and was a quality area rebounder.
