AJ Johnson AJ Johnson 6'5" | PG Taft | 2023 #26 Nation CA-S , Jalen Green Elite – Johnson is a do-it-all point guard whose knack for scoring in transition and the half-court setting were on full display in this event. The wiry 6-foot-5 rising senior is a shifty attacker of the basket off the dribble and finishes with creativity around the basket. Johnson always looks to get downhill on the break and glides to the rim with aggressiveness.
Braeden Shrewsberry, Indiana Elite – Shrewsberry was one of the top shooters we saw in this event as his impressive three-point shooting display helped Indiana Elite defeat a good Compton Magic team. The 6-foot-3 Penn State-commit can play both on or off the ball with his understanding of how to set up and use screens to get open without it or use ball-screen action to create space on the perimeter to get his shot off.
Finley Bizjack Finley Bizjack 6'5" | CG Byron Nelson | 2023 State #131 Nation TX , Southern Assault – Bizjack puts the ball in the basket in every way imaginable. From specials drawn up for him to get a three-point shot, to breaking down defenders off the dribble and getting to the cup, to just pulling up for a jumper on the break, the Butler-commit is an efficient and high-rate scorer.
Ian Jackson Ian Jackson 6'5" | SF Cardinal Hayes (NY) | 2024 State #9 Nation NY , Wiz Kids – Jackson is one of the best scoring guards in the nation let alone within the prospects in the 3SSB circuit. At 6-feet-5, the five-star recruit uses his combination of length, explosive athleticism and quickness in transition and half-court settings to blow by defenders and get to the rim with ease where he can finish with creativity or physicality around
Ja’Kobe Walter Ja’Kobe Walter 6'5" | SG Mckinney | 2023 #15 Nation MO , Team Trae Young – Walter is a super versatile guard/wing whose rangy 6-foot-5, 180-pound frame, combined with his fluidity with the ball in his hands, makes him a rim-pressure threat in all settings. The Baylor-commit knows how to get to his spots off the bounce, and when he does, the elevation and high release on his jumper allow him to get clean looks at the basket over defenders attempting to get a hand up.
