Christopher Hill (5’2/CG)

Chris showed that he could score at all levels. He is a playmaker off the bounce and created for himself and his teammates. He showed a balanced floor game, and even though he stands 5’2, he showed potential. He also showed that he could process the game as he saw the right reads and was making the right decisions in certain situations, but he has to continue to get stronger in order to be able to make the passes that he was attempting to make.
For Chris, it is all about when will he hit that growth spurt.
TT Gibson (6’3/SG)
Team: B Maze Elite

T was one of the 2027 guards that had a good physical profile. He has size and, at times, was just too big for a lot of the 2027 guards. With that being said, T has the skill and the ability to be way more assertive than he was at camp. There were times when he settled for jumpers, or cut his attack off the bounce short and deferred to someone else, or reset the action. There is nothing wrong with those things when the situation calls for that, but there were moments that T had the step or had the lane and could have attacked the rim. He was one of the more intriguing players because I sat and watched and waited for him to show more because when he did have his moments, he was basically unstoppable. He is a developing player with skills and talents waiting to be unleashed.
If it ever all just clicks…watch out.
Josiah Banks (5’6/CG)

Josiah was one of the more solid and complete PGs at camp. He is listed as a CG, but his strength was definitely being a floor general. He was one of the few unselfish players looking to create for others and was dropping dimes. He showed promise as he played with poise and a basketball IQ that was very good for his grade.
As he grows and continues to develop his PG acumen, he has the potential to develop into a PG that we could be talking about down the line.
Jack Kostansek (5’5/CG)
Team: New England Storm Elite

Jack is a marksman from behind the arc, shoots the ball with confidence, and lit it up throughout the camp. He is a high-level c&s shooter that creates gaps and lanes by his presence behind the arc. The camp was not a good setting to see how his presence on the floor affects spacing, but whenever you have a shooter on the floor that you have to account for, it creates a lot of problems for the defense.
Jack has to extend his game beyond the arc and add more scoring tools to his game.
Jayden Navarrete (5’8/SG)
Team: Delaware Vipers

When you look at J’s game, it doesn’t take long for you to recognize his specialty, which is shooting the rock from behind the arc. The lefty sniper was one of the best in c&s situations. As much as the three-point line plays a part in today’s game, players have to have more in the toolbox. Unfortunately, J’s game was silent once we got pass the trey ball. He has to continue working on expanding his arsenal, which includes creating his shot off the bounce because it will come times in games when a defender’s assignment is to not allow him to touch the ball or to run him off the line.
He is a marksman from three, but he has to expand his game.
