<p>Pro Skills Basketball is gaining traction in its second year of existence around the DMV. Here is a brief rundown of its 15U-17U teams. </p>
<h5>15U</h5>
<p>There are two 15U teams that represent PSB DMV. Both squads are competitive and have prospects of note. <strong>Dylan Bena</strong>, a class of 2025 guard from River Hill, is a sniper from long range. His teammate, 2025 <strong>Caden Walton</strong> is another name to know. The tall lefty is a threat to grab 10+ rebounds in a given contest. On the other team, look out for 2025 <strong>Sean May</strong> from Gonzaga. He demonstrates a great feel, playmaking instincts, and can make long jumpers from the catch. </p>
<h5>16U</h5>
<p>There is a lot of potential with the 16U group. 2024<strong> [player_tooltip player_id="1367432" first="Marcus" last="Rustin"]</strong> brings high-quality intangibles and scoring prowess along with high-level athleticism and relentless effort. Langley’s <strong>Evan Krawczyk</strong> stretches the floor from the forward position and will help control the glass. Keep an eye on <strong>Amir Shaheed</strong> from Atholton. He is a confident long-range shooter who can score in bunches. <strong>Kagaba Musiime</strong>, a class of 2025 prospect from St. John’s, is a rangy wing who makes plays on both ends of the court. </p>
<h5>17U</h5>
<p>This bunch could give opponents fits with their physicality. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1280949" first="Darius" last="Vance"]</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1164833" first="Nick" last="Viqueira"]</strong>, and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1280948" first="Grady" last="Wolfe"]</strong> are a trio of hard-nosed guards who are solid the point of attack defensively but can also put the ball in the hole. DeMatha’s<strong> [player_tooltip player_id="1415857" first="Logan" last="Lewis"]</strong> could be the team’s x-factor. He is a versatile player who loves the open court and getting downhill where he is a strong finisher in traffic. [player_tooltip player_id="1280963" first="Aidan" last="Gallagher"] is another versatile forward who is not afraid to mix it up with bigger foes around the basket but could emerge as a matchup problem with his expanding face-up skills. </p>
