<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1165729" first="Antoine" last="Glasper"]</strong> (2024) <em>Team FVV UA Rise</em></p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Glasper has incredible explosiveness that was on full display for Team FVV in their Elite 8 run in the Championship. Gets his head down and b-lines to the rim. Finishes with his right hand through and around contact. Sees the floor and brings elite bounce as he almost was on the receiving end of an alley-oop.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1440254" first="Andy" last="Spoelman"]</strong> (2024) <em>Team GRIII White (Illena Christian)</em></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Spoelman didn't jump off the page right away until he was able to utilize his 6'4 frame. Elevates with a nice 1st half dunk against Team GRIII Elite. Threat on the glass and capable of controlling the paint with his wide frame and jump. Elite finisher around the rim and could transition into more of a post as he adds a little more length. Good handle on the wing.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1295310" first="D'Amare" last="Hood"]</strong> (2024) <em>All Area Basketball Club (Delta)</em></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Hood is a good hybrid wing that brought skills for both a wing and a post. Long athlete. Utilized a fadeaway jumper over Team Rose and their athletic group. Great size for a wing at 6'4 and elevated over defenders, getting clean looks at the rim. Put on a performance with solid play against a shoe circuit team.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="1295644" first="Treshawn" last="Blissett"]</strong> (2024) <em>M14 Hoops Adidas Gold (Waubonsie Valley)</em></p>

<p>Blissett continues the trend of long lengthy wings, but he made an impact more on the defensive end. Used that length to cover passing lanes and make issues for opposing guards to make straight line passes. At 6'5, he used his long arms to be disruptive and got deflections and altered shots/passes.</p>
