<p>To polish off our coverage of the 16U division over at Campbell HS, we highlight a handful of out of state performers who really turned heads at the A-Town Showdown:</p>
<p><em><strong>Christian Walker | SG | 6-0 | Hustle Hard Elite</strong></em></p>
<p>Traits: Good frame makes him a more physical presence than he may appear, fluid movement out in space, excellent with the ball as a smart distributor, can knock down 3s in bunches, had a 26 pt game Saturday.</p>
<p><em><strong>Margad Choijilsuren | SG | 6-2 | Man II Man Soldiers (pictured above)</strong></em></p>
<p>Traits: Excellent size coming off the wing, great polish to his scoring game and can finish with either hand, superb defender jumping into passing lanes, good athlete and nice rebounding guard </p>
<p><em><strong>KJ Graves | PG | 5-8 | Auburn Raptors</strong></em></p>
<p>Traits: Super speedy out in space, excellent pushing pace with head on a swivel, showed off nice range from 3-land, sound on-ball defender.</p>
<p><em><strong>Stevenson Guerrier | SF | 6-2 | Florida Express</strong></em></p>
<p>Traits: Loved the fight for the full 32 minutes, played a lot bigger than 6-2, went at the glass as well as anyone on the weekend, showed off a pretty good low-post game, gets off the deck in a hurry.</p>
<p><em><strong>Milyan Smith-Walker | SG/SF | 6-3 | M24 Legends</strong></em></p>
<p>Traits: Big frame for a 2-guard but he handled the ball out front quite a bit, dipped down low when needed and showed off nimble feet and finishing ability, unselfish passer and fought hard on the boards.</p>
<p><em><strong>Bryce Clayton | SG | 6-3 | For The Love</strong></em></p>
<p>Traits: Has the look of a natural scorer as he was able to get or create any shot he wanted, just a flat-out skilled offensive player, really good size and can guard up to 3 spots and was the charge-taker of the weekend, good-looking prospect.</p>
<p><em><strong>Logan Kunz | PF | 6-3 | MN Bounce</strong></em></p>
<p>Traits: Stretch-4 type despite being a tad undersized for that role at the moment, superb stroke from deep, smart mover finds spots to get his shot off, surprised a little with his downhill burst getting to the basket, blocked a bunch of shots and hit the glass one of the top rebounders.</p>
<p><em><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1158739" first="Raoul" last="Vaidya"] | PG | 5-11 | MN Bounce</strong></em></p>
<p>Traits: One of the weekend’s top floor generals, took great care of the ball, pass-first mentality to a slew of options coming off his wings, showed off some scoring prowess Sunday with good shooting range and clever drives through the traffic.</p>
<p><em><strong>Joe Burke Brown | SG | 6-3 | GCPC Stars</strong></em></p>
<p>Traits: Elite athlete was simply a step ahead of much of the opposition, really good size and stout frame allowed him to get physical when he wanted, has a great combo game of deep perimeter shooting and serious downhill charging to the rim, dipped inside and easily bulled his way to points, fascinating prospect.</p>
<p><em><strong>Horatio Holifield | PG | 5-10 | GCPC Stars</strong></em></p>
<p>Traits: Another excellent floor general with both a good scoring eye and an ability to find teammates in the right spots, a top on-ball defender of the weekend, range out past the arc and serious blow-by ability off the dribble. </p>
