Spring Grassroots: Week 2 SEPA Standouts

17U (2023/2024)   Kamani Healey – 6'4” / Junior / Cheltenham / [program_tooltip program_id='2078697' first='Philly' last='Pride'] Select / Shooting Guard: At the KYDA Invitational (Scranton, PA) this ever-improving slasher style guard demonstrated that he could score at all 3-levels. If Healey is given space on the perimeter, he will splash threes all day. Close out on him too quickly and Healey will use a convincing pump fake, followed by a couple dribbles to get to his mid-range spots or all the way to the rim. This weekend Healey also proved he can be a secondary ball handler. That is something he really does not get the opportunity to show during the high school season.   [player_tooltip player_id='1281811' first='Izaiah' last='Pasha'] – 6'4” / Senior / Cardinal O'Hara / [program_tooltip program_id='2078697' first='Philly' last='Pride'] UAA / Point Guard: Since he decommitted from Iona and announced he will take a post graduate year, Pash has been tearing up the spring circuit. His relentless, attacking style is a perfect fit for the action at the Gym Rat Live event (Albany, NY). When he was not getting to the cup for lay-ins, Pasha was knocking down jumpers. Despite his abundant scoring talents, Pasha does not force things and willingly moves the ball to an open teammate.   [player_tooltip player_id='1379452' first='Andrew' last='Phillips'] – 6'4” / Senior / Malvern Prep / [program_tooltip program_id='2078678' first='East' last='Coast Power'] / Small Forward: We realize the transfer portal has severely impacted the recruitment of high school prospects, but the fact that Phillips (Inter-Ac POY) remains unsigned is a crime. This weekend at the KYDA Invite (Scranton, PA) he proved to be a top prospect yet again as he averaged 14 pppg. and scored a weekend high of 24 points. Phillips possesses the ball skills, size, interior moves, and high percentage jump shot to play as a shooting guard or stretch-4. He rebounds at both ends and is a high IQ athlete.   [player_tooltip player_id='1472597' first='Luke' last='Rasmussen'] – 6'8” / Senior / Haverford School / PMT Warriors / Small Forward: Rasmussen is coming off a strong high school season where he exhibited improved versatility. That trend continued at NXT Session 3 (Quad Cities, IA) as Rasmussen powered his way through traffic for buckets at the rim, drained threes and created off the dribble for himself and teammates. His ability to handle the rock and distribute is highly underrated.   16U (2025)   [player_tooltip player_id='1379429' first='Donovan' last='Fromhartz'] – 6'4″ / Downingtown West / [program_tooltip program_id='2078697' first='Philly' last='Pride'] UAA / Small Forward: It is well known thatFromhartz is a long, high IQ prospect who can knock down jumpers from all over the floor. Then this weekend at Gym Rat Live (Albany, NY) he displayed athleticism, foot speed and an ability to play above the rim that we did not know he possessed. Fromhartz got out in transition, blew past defenders off the dribble and made smart off-ball cuts to the basket. In all three scenarios he was able to finish the play over opposing defenders.   [player_tooltip player_id='1382983' first='Deuce' last='Maxey'] – 6'2” / Archbishop Wood / [program_tooltip program_id='2078709' first='Team' last='Final'] E16-Red / Combo Guard: During the Gym Rat Live tournament (Albany, NY) Maxey continued to prove he is one of top 2025 backcourt prospects in Pennsylvania. He scored points in transition and with his smooth jump shot. Maxey's first step possesses elite quickness giving him an advantage over most defenders who attempt to guard him. When you combine that asset with his tight handles and solid instincts, you have guard who is extremely difficult to stop off the dribble.   Gabe Tanner – 6'4" / Perkiomen School / We R1 UAA / Shooting Guard: As the 3rd/4th option this winter for Perkiomen School, Tanner frequently posted double digit scoring games. Now as a No. 1 / 2 option for We R1 he is receiving significantly more looks and Tanner taking advantage of those increased opportunities. At KYDA Invitational (Scranton, PA) Tanner used his elite athletic ability, multi-skilled offensive game, and ability to turn pressure defense into easy buckets to prove he can carry a team for long stretches. He piloted We R1 to a 4-0 record with an average margin of victory of 16-points.   15U (2026)   [player_tooltip player_id='1608319' first='KJ' last='Coles'] – 6'2” / Pocono Mountain West / PSA Cardinals / Combo Guard: On a squad stocked with DI scoring talent, Coles does a tremendous job of facilitating for his teammates and making sure everyone “gets theirs”. He is especially effective at drive and kicks as well as in pick-n-roll action. Still, when needed, Coles can score at all 3-levels. He is an underrated 3-point shooter. This weekend he helped push the PSA Cardinals to the 15U hardware at the Gym Rat Live tournament (Albany, NY).   [player_tooltip player_id='2247339' first='Christian' last='Matos'] – 6'0” / Methacton / [program_tooltip program_id='2078678' first='East' last='Coast Power'] / Point Guard: Matos is a versatile backcourt prospect whose creative dribbling skills include extremely effective change of pace moves. At the KYDA Invitational (Scranton, PA) he used his dribbling talents to score and distribute to teammates. If a defender sagged off Matos to keep him out of the paint, he drained threes out to the logo. He also showed flashes of a nice stop and pop game.
