10 KEY PLAYERS

Mehki Ellison Mehki Ellison 5'7" | PG Flint Carman-Ainsworth | 2022 State MI (2022, PG, Flint Carman-Ainsworth)

Ellison puts the ball on the floor and gets to the lane where he makes plays for himself and his teammates.

Chas Lewless Chas Lewless 6'3" | PG Detroit King | 2024 #219 Nation KS (2024, PG, Detroit Catholic Central)

Lewless is a special talent that in my opinion will end up nationally ranked. The young man just gets it.

Adam Rammouni (2022, F, Dearborn)

Rammouni physicality and toughness will play a key role in the championship game.

Anthony Ribel Anthony Ribel 6'3" | SG Traverse City Central | 2024 State MI (2024, SG, Traverse City Central)

Ribel is a prospect on the rise. He excels in the open floor where he fills in on the wing and finishes at the rim or slides down for a corner triple.
