The competition at this event was the highest it has been and was an impressive showcase of all of the talent in the great state of Texas. Be on the lookout for the rest of my content, as I thoroughly cover this event.
Antwan Taylor 2022 Harker Heights High School
Antwan is an aggressive wing who loves to attack the basket and put pressure on the defense in the paint. He is a creative finisher who knows how to draw contact and get to the free throw line. I was very impressed with his ability to get downhill and put pressure on the defense. He is a consistent shooter with a great shooting motion who can confidently knock down shots from all around the court. I would like to see him work on his off hand and ability to shoot off the dribble, skills everyone needs to develop at that age.
Caleb Gaston 2022 6’6 Booneville High School
Caleb is an athletic wing who can really do it all. He can stretch the floor and knock down shots in the corners and wing off the catch. He is a defensive force in the paint and makes his defenders uncomfortable with his presence. His length and foot speed allow him to easily guard positions 3-5. I would like to see him work on his ability to create his own shot as a ball handler, as well as slashing and getting to the rim.
Joshua Pearre 2022 McKinney North High School
Joshua is a solid shooter off the catch and knows how to space the floor and makes the defense pay if they leave him alone. He is deadly from atop the key and along the wings. His long arms allow him to deflect passes and makes his opponents uncomfortable. He has the awareness to poke the ball free from defenders as they go up with shows. I would like to see him work on his ability to put the ball on the floor and get to the rim or the midrange, especially when his shot is not falling. He is a skilled shooter who has a lot of potential he just needs to work on picking his spots.
Christian Perez 2022 MacArthur Senior High School
Christian is an intelligent wing who can create for others and get to the rim. He is an aggressive player who loves to get after loose balls and always seems to be making that extra effort that makes teams successful. His motor really stood out at this event, seeming to out work everyone there. I would like to see him work on his ability to create his own shot especially off the bounce and out of the triple threat.
