<p><strong>2022 6-1 G [player_tooltip player_id="1123943" first="KJ" last="Reid"] – JC Ducks</strong></p>
<p>Quick release. Able to shoot off the dribble or as a catch-and-shoot. Wiry guard manipulates the defense. Efficient shot selection. Can catch fire from deep but also scores from the mid-range and in.</p>
<p><strong>2022 6-0 PG Patrick Burke – Tri-City Elite</strong></p>
<p>Southpaw. Leader of team. Ball is in his hands every possession. Applies consistent pressure on defense. Deep three-point range. Plays at different speeds. Was among the tournament’s leading scorers.</p>
<p><strong>2022 6-5 W [player_tooltip player_id="1192664" first="Xzavier" last="Wilcher"] – Tri-City Elite</strong></p>
<p>Catches and shoots in rhythm. Comfortable shooting off the dribble from distance. Length and size allows him to fire overtop of defenders. Mismatch on the perimeter.</p>
<p><strong>2022 5-11 PG [player_tooltip player_id="1192661" first="Avery" last="Marshall"] – SBT</strong></p>
<p>Gets hot quickly. Shoulders much of the scoring load. Outside shot opens up driving lanes. Gets his feet set on the catch. Dangerous on and off the ball.</p>
<p><strong>2022 6-2 SG Mike McLaughlin – XFE 2022</strong></p>
<p>Fires away at will. Volume shooter that can fill it up. A true three-point specialist that fills his role. Loves to run baseline and get to the corners against the zone.</p>
<p><strong>2022 5-11 PG [player_tooltip player_id="1192665" first="Terrence" last="Moore"] – Georgia Vision</strong></p>
<p>Offense runs through the lead guard. Shoots with confidence. Makes good decisions. Can score going downhill. Must be checked once the ball is in his hands. Good things often happen with him on the floor.</p>
<p><strong>2022 5-11 PG Austin Pena – AYSA Panthers</strong></p>
<p>Doesn’t force the issue and gets his offense in the flow of the game. Very selective with his shots. Looks to distribute first. Accurate shooter that often makes when he takes.</p>
<p><strong>2023 6-0 G Turner Cummings – COD Elite</strong></p>
<p>Understands how to get open on the perimeter. Scores on and off the ball. Moves well away from the ball. Gets his shoulders square and knocks down shots.</p>
