<p>There was plenty of talent on display at the Prep Hoops Texas Top 250 Expo in Dallas. This is my in-depth analysis of each of the players in attendance. Be on the lookout for the rest of my top player’s list and my coverage of all the athletes.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id="1295874" first="Dextan" last="Hutchinson"] 2025 Guard 5’6 Rockhill High School</p>
<p>Dextan is great at dribbling into traffic and attracting the defense’s attention and make the right passes out to set up a teammate. He got a plethora of assists and pass to assists due to his ability to get into the paint and make the right reads. He has an ability to space the floor and knock down shots from around the arc and knows how to move without the basketball. He is a scrappy on-ball defender with active hands. He came up with a plethora of steals due to his aggressiveness and willingness to defend.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id="1295903" first="Josiah" last="King"] 2025 5’6 Atascosita High School</p>
<p>Josiah is an aware point guard who seemed to have a knack for making the best read in the half-court. He is an aware player when moving without the basketball and got plenty of open looks in the lane due to his cutting behind defenders. He displayed a reliable set shot from head-on and along the wings. He is an aggressive defender who thrives at getting underneath opponent’s skin. I would like to see him work on his ability to slow up and play at his own tempo. There were opportunities where he got too sped up but it is something that is easily fixable.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id="1295888" first="Jaxon" last="Lowr"] 2025 6’0 Coppell 9<sup>th</sup> Grade Center</p>
<p>Jaxon has a lightning-quick crossover who has the ability to freeze defenders with ease. I was very impressed by his ability to get by defenders in the half-court. He is an aware guard who can pass his teammates open and knows when to dish it out when the defense collapses. He displayed a reliable set shot from all around the arc as well. I would like to see him work on getting to his one to two dribble pull-ups and floaters in the lane.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id="1295836" first="Bryson" last="Hill"] 2025 Guard 5’8 Shallowater High School @BrysonHil1</p>
<p>Bryson is an intelligent guard who knows how to move with the ball up the court with the right passes to beat defenders down the court. He is a very aware player with the basketball and can create for his teammates in the half-court. He displayed a good stroke when given time to set his feet from the wing and the corners. I would like to see him work on his ability to get to his shot off the dribble, especially in the midrange.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id="1295828" first="Jaxon" last="Woods"] 2025 5’10 Baytown Ross Sterling</p>
<p>Jaxon is an elite set shooter who knows how to run the floor and get to his spots. He is aggressive and not afraid to fight with bigs in the paint. He loves chasing down loose balls and boxes out and fights for every rebound. I would like to see him work on his one to two dribble pull-up, and a floater so he does not have to bang with the bigs every time down the court.</p>
