<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2104990' first='Graham' last='Lathan'] (Team Rose 17U)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The St. Rita wing flies under the radar, but had a strong showing at Chi-Town Tip Off. Three and D wing as he excels knocking down spot up threes along with locking down on the defensive end.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1750610' first='David' last='Marshall'] (Illinois Orange 17U)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Marshall is an ultra smooth operator at the two guard spot from Belleville West that has shown he can score effectively from all three levels especially with a clean looking jumper.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1541243' first='DJ' last='Strong'] (Illinois Flight 17U)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Strong is a rangy point guard that impacts the game on the defensive end with his quickness and anticipation. Like what he brings offensively as a ball mover and is capable of hitting an open shot. Pushes in transition.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Cinco Gary (Illinois Elite 17U)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>This Rockford native is a high-motor undersized power forward that will find a home at the small college level because of his knack for always being around the basketball making positive things happen.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1874864' first='Rakim' last='Chaney'] <a>(Greater Purpose Athletics 17U)</a></strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Chaney is a tough scoring guard that brings strength at the two guard spot along with the ability to be a shot creator from both two and three.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1436161' first='Cale' last='Cosme'] (ET21 Buckeyes 17U)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Cosme is a smaller point guard that plays with a ton of flair. So much fun to watch with the way he changes gears and keeps the defense off balance with his handles. Hits tough jumpers from difficult angles. Sound shooter and is a playmaker as a passer.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1157220' first='Sean' last='Brown-Coley'] (Team Ten Jabari 17U)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>SBC might not jump off the floor from a physical standpoint, but he gets the job done! One of those guys that has a nose for the ball, brings skill, and plays so hard that he always produces.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Camden Lathos (All-In Athletics Gold 17U)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Lathos is a post from Conant that is intriguing with his ability to score down low with touch and footwork along with rebounding in his area.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1766478' first='Achillies' last='Anderson'] (All-In Athletics Gold 16U)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Skilled and thick bodied wing that quietly goes about his business, but just produces. Versatile player that makes plays with the rock in his hands as a scorer and distributor. Also a quality defender.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1598725' first='Jason' last='Lawani'] (Illinois Flight Athletics 17U)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Bolingbrook combo forward is a high-motor player that impacts with his toughness, offensive rebounding, finishing junk points around the hoop, and can defend multiple positions.</p>
