<p>Who were the best AAU players during the first LIVE period? Read about players that both played exceptionally but also attracted the most college attention. Today, we feature the fifth quintet by position on our All-Weekend FIFTH TEAM. Our state is loaded with great guards, but this team must resemble a team: Guard, Guard, Guard/Wing, Wing, Forward.</p>

<p>First Class Game began to turn heads the last couple years. Stewarts Creek [player_tooltip player_id="1179416" first="Darius" last="Lee"] is coming off a great weekend I'm downtown Atlanta. The lefty slides through the lane with a swagger. Remember Lee landed in the Top 20 Guards in Rutherford County. </p>

<p>Luke is one those players that AAU proves absolutely invaluable. During the winter months Luke's game goes largely unnoticed by college coaches. To be blunt, coaches just are not going to make MHEA games a regular stop on their in-season travels. Both Luke and [player_tooltip player_id="1176729" first="Drew" last="Kyzar"] have been tremendous this entire summer. Together they earned college offers from Oak Hills Christian College. That offer will be joined by others any day now. What does Luke give to the game? Soft touch. Nose for the rim. Needs to improve his quickness and straight-line speed. Loves to pass. "Luke is talking to West Georgia," shared [program_tooltip program_id='2078765' first='Life' last='Changers'] coach.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">F [player_tooltip player_id="1235502" first="Alex" last="Bruno"], PSB Nashville-Bell17u<br />
Overall State Ranking: NA<br />

<p>The whole [player_tooltip player_id="1235502" first="Alex" last="Bruno"] game was on display in Atlanta. The 6-foot-5 buried the 8' baseline jumper. He fought and clawed around the rim, defending with purpose and hunger. Bruno was more assertive on the blocks offensively. His weekend was truly the culmination of his entire career development.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">F Josiah Hubbard, [program_tooltip program_id='2078775' first='Tennessee' last='Tigers'] 15u<br />
Overall State Ranking: NA<br />

<p>Raw, but improving. Josiah is already 6-foot-8 entering his sophomore season with Franklin Classical. His older brother will begin his college football career with Birmingham Southern this fall. Josiah put up six points per game and eight rebounds per game this time.</p>
