On the defensive side of the ball, he got after it without fouling, forcing opponents into some difficult shots. Offensively he ran the show for his team, facilitating at a high level, turning down good shots to get even better shots.
Underrated Athletes Julian Johnson: The 6’5 Forward was an absolute beast on the boards for his squad and does a nice job of finding a body to box out whenever a shot goes up. He takes on the attitude that every loose ball belongs to him and he’s a player that you won’t have to run plays for as he can create his own offense due to his ability to be dominate on the offensive boards.
Team Charlotte 2025 Guard LJ Smith: Has a chance to be a very special prospect before it’s all said and done. He’s very efficient in catch and shoot situations and knocked down some big-time shots from the perimeter for his team. The next step for him will be to add to his game by being able to make more plays off the dribble but overall, we are very excited about his potential.
CAAT Wildcats 2025 Forward Damari Ford: We would describe him as a raw talent at this point as he is still figuring some things out but overall, we really like what he brings to the table and his potential. He was active inside the paint, played both ends of the court with a high motor and displayed some impressive upper and lower body strength while playing inside the post.
Wildcats 2025 Guard Mekhi Sheed: Displayed some impressive court vision, plays the game at his own pace, and understands how to use his speed to get where he wants. He is a very gifted passer that can convert difficult passes to teammates for easy buckets and is a player that is constantly vocal on the court.
Thunder Supreme 2025 Guard Michael Valdes: Advanced for his age, he’s a crafty finisher inside the paint that understands how to score over talent opponents without much of an issue. He plays the game at his own pace, doesn’t turn the ball over too often and takes high percentage shots.
