First Team

2021 5-11 PG King Winkfield King Winkfield 5'11" | CG Booker | 2021 State FL – Warehouse Ballers

King Winkfield King Winkfield 5'11" | CG Booker | 2021 State FL poured in three after three. He flirted with a triple-double on Saturday with 20 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists, then sank 5 threes in a 22-point performance on Sunday. Winkfield is as consistent as the come on the PrepHoops Circuit.

2022 6-3 G Bryson Dawkins – Alabama Celtics

Hands down the star of the week, Bryson Dawkins went viral game after game with his freakish athleticism and unbelievable dunks. The lefty was unconscious on Saturday, piling in 30 points on 7 threes while adding 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks. Dawkins is a High Major athlete with tremendous upside. D-I programs will want to move swiftly on this weekend’s tournament MVP.

2022 6-3 G Machli Fleurissaint – Palm Beach All-Star Flames

Machli has a ton of tools to be successful. He’s got a smooth approach to the game. He shoots the three with ease and can glide to the basket to finish above the rim.

2022 6-3 G Eric Parnell Eric Parnell 6'4" | CG Holy Trinity School | 2022 State FL – Palm Beach All-Star Flames

A great motor helped put Eric Parnell Eric Parnell 6'4" | CG Holy Trinity School | 2022 State FL at the right place at the right time all weekend. He drilled some big threes throughout the event, but Parnell was more than just a shooter. He could possibly be a 3&D type player with his length on the perimeter and defensive acumen. I loved how well he rebounded and how accurate his mid-range game was. The bouncy off-guard holds value as a slasher as well.

2022 6-0 G Akeives Shorts – Alabama Celtics

Akeieves Shorts made a living at getting into the lane and finding open shooters on the perimeter. His drive and kick game helped the Alabama Celtics get clean looks from deep. Shorts got downhill easily and finished against length.  He plays bigger than his size. Shorts tallied 12 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals in a big win on Saturday.
