This past season for Victory Christian Academy, Andino averaged 16.0 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game helping lead the Storm to a regional semifinal appearance. He shares the point guard duties with 6’3 guard Lorenzo Cason Lorenzo Cason 6’2″ | PG Victory Christian | 2024 State #75 Nation FL .
The 5-10 rising senior point guard plays an exceptional role on both sides of the floor whether it’s running the primary point guard position or playing off the ball. Burton is also a sensational shooter when it comes to shooting the 3 ball. In his first season for IMG Academy, Burton averaged nearly five assists per game as he loves to play unselfishly and get his teammates involved.

White has one of the smoothest shot releases in the upcoming senior class. He also uses his burst of speed to an advantage where he can get by defenders finishing around the rim at a high rate.

This past season for Bolles, Watterson averaged 8.7 points and 5.1 rebounds per game. So far this AAU season for SWFL Hoops, Watterson has shot from the perimeter with confidence and is knocking down 3-pointers at a near 35 percent rate.
