[player_tooltip player_id='1030010' first='Austin' last='Swartz']   He's got smooth scoring chops that make him a coveted target of high majors across the East Coast.

[player_tooltip player_id='997734' first='Elijah' last='Strong'] - 15.4 PPG, 5.4 RPG, 64% FG   Strong is a physical, rim-running big that has a strong motor and good lateral movement for his size.

Second Team   [player_tooltip player_id='1218085' first='Jaiden' last='Thompson'] - 19.0 PPG, 4.0 APG, 4.3 SPG   He was the two-way engine that made his team go every game this year, making plays on both ends of the floor.

[player_tooltip player_id='1180892' first='Sir' last='Mohammed'] - 13.5 PPG, 4.9 APG, 1.9 SPG   Mohammed is a wing that plays the guard spots for Myers Park and has elite level athleticism and size.

[player_tooltip player_id='577871' first='Avion' last='Pinner'] - 16.8 PPG, 7.8 RPG, 2.3 BPG   Pinner is a versatile threat on both ends of the court, guarding multiple positions every night and using his frame and quickness to do so.

[player_tooltip player_id='1180816' first='Riley' last='Allenspach']   Allenspach is a big who can play all over the court, whether it be in the post or on the perimeter.

Third Team   [player_tooltip player_id='1281454' first='Quay' last='Watson'] - 23.5 PPG, 4.5 APG, 2.7 SPG   Watson is a big time bucket getter, putting up great performances night in and night out in the toughest conference in the area.

[player_tooltip player_id='1278076' first='Antonio' last='Perkins'] - 15.4 PPG, 5.5 RPG, 52% 3FG   Perkins is a knockdown shooter that benefitted greatly from NCA's floor spacing and talent around him this year, but he can really score the ball.

[player_tooltip player_id='1076352' first='Maurio' last='Hanson'] - 14.8 PPG, 6.8 RPG, 3.1 APG   Hanson was the interior presence important to Chambers' success this year, and his physicality and springiness is impressive.
