Christian Wilson, 6-5 2023 F, La Habra/ Multilevel Basketball 16u
He’s probably going to get the “does he play football?” questions his entire career, but make no mistake, Wilson is a talented basketball player in his own right. Nimble feet, surprisingly shifty and blessed with a high IQ, Wilson’s post defense, interior passing and underrated scoring ability are perfect complements to Multilevel’s talented guards.
Jack Hudson, 5-8 2022 PG, Mira Mesa/ West Coast Elite 17u San Diego Buckles
This was Hudson’s coming-out party. The steely lefty point guard was a force in the game vs West Coast Flight. He scored from three, got into the paint and will and made dazzling passes to waiting shooters, or simply kept the ball moving faster than the defense. His best attribute is his motor: he gives max effort at all times.
Tedrous Teshome, 6-2 2022 G, Montgomery/ West Coast Elite 17u San Diego Buckles
Teshome is a talented scoring guard who can hit shots from all three levels. He’s crafty with the ball, and uses his crossover effectively in the halfcourt, but he is best when he is driving downhill with his right hand getting into the lane, where he can finish through and over contact.
Garrett Barger, 6-7 2025 F, Eaglecrest/ Colorado Anarchy 15u
A willowy forward prospect with excellent length, Barger’s versatile offensive skill set makes him a name to watch in Colorado. He’s got excellent hands, solid post footwork, but can also face up on the perimeter and score and shoot.
Brady Kennison, 5-11 2024 G, Thompson Valley (CO)/ Colorado Anarchy 15u
The shifty Kennison lived in the paint, and used his athletic frame to absorb contact and finish drives around the basket. He’s a capable perimeter shooter, but his dribble penetration is what makes him a tough cover.
Brycen Mackenzie, 5-11 2024 G, Santa Fe Christian/ Gamepoint 15u Elite
Mackenzie’s shot making and playmaking ability are known commodities, but the toughness defensively and the energy he brought in the win over Colorado Anarchy was impressive. He plays with an edge that transfers to teammates.
Bradley McGlothlin, 6-4 2024 W, Mission Hills/ Gamepoint 15u Elite
The long, bouncy McGlothlin continues to impress with the versatility of his skillset. He guards every team’s bigs and uses his length to alter shots around the basket, and he does a great job pursuing rebounds on both ends. But it’s his two-dribble pull-up jump shot and his shooting from three that project him as a wing at the next level. Continued improvement with his ball handling is the next step.
Luke Ball, 6-1 2023 G, Bishop’s/ West Coast Elite 16u San Diego National
Luke Ball’s stat line in his games this weekend demonstrates the selfless brand of basketball that only purists will appreciate. He took and made his only shot from three, but had 7 rebounds, three assists and multiple steals. He has solid size and is a steady ball handler and facilitator who doesn’t get sped up and always looks to get his teammates the ball in their spots.
