He was one of the top guards I saw today. </p> <p><strong>Devin Smith (2024) |5-10 G| Excel Basketball 2024</strong></p> <p>This guard is quick and explosive. Smith was very fast going north &amp; south. He was always in attack mode. Devin was slashing into the teeth of the defense and dropping dimes. He had many impressive assists. Smith's shooting form was textbook. I was also impressed with Devin's athletic spin-move finish. </p> <p><strong>Cameron Catholic (2024) |6-3 F| Excel Basketball 2024</strong></p> <p>This kid can shoot it from 3-point land and bang inside. Cameron is a versatile player. He stood out early and often as an aggressive rebounder. He is a long-player with an impressive vertical. Catholic was skying for rebounds. Cameron also stood out to me as an unselfish player. When the help D came near him, Cameron found the open man. </p> <p><strong>Noah Gensler (2024) |6-2 G| Wisconsin Blaze 2024 National Moede</strong></p> <p>This 3-point sniper knocked down 5 triples in the first half! He is an excellent catch-n-shoot player. Gensler has a clean stroke and good feet. His follow-through is flawless. Gensler is a good athlete with good size and muscle. </p> <p><strong>Hayden Quimby (2024) |5-11 G| Wisconsin Blaze 2024 National Moede</strong></p> <p>This guard is a silky smooth shooter. Hayden was drilling 3-balls from the wing and corner. He sets his feet very quickly and his release is smooth. Hayden showed a spectacular crossover. He showed a very nice spin-move as well. Hayden had one of the best mid-range games that I saw today. He would attack, break down the defense, and pull up for a good look. </p> <p><strong>Jaylene Simmons (2024) |6-3 F| Capital City Team Work 2024</strong></p> <p>He is a big, wide, and powerful post player.
