Jayden Xu
Jayden Xu
Jayden Xu is a tireless worker off the ball on offense and is a strong catch and shoot threat. Xu is also able to put the ball on the floor a couple of times to score when defenses start trying to run him off the 3 point line. As he gets older and stronger his length projects to be versatile on defense.
Micah Tannenbaum
Micah Tannenbaum
Micah Tannenbaum is a fearless, tough point guard who is a coaches best option to guard the opponents best perimeter player. Tannenbaum plays defense passionately and is able to create offense from playing passing lanes and forcing bad/tough shots. On offense, Micah is primarily a slash and kick player who can also act as a catch and shoot threat when he doesn’t have the ball.
Isayah Garcia
Isayah Garcia
Isayah Garcia is a tremendous defensive point guard who has a build beyond his years. Garcia has the physicality and understanding to guard multiple positions and on offense is plenty capable of getting his own shot or creating for others with his quickness.
Deshawn Gory Deshawn Gory 6’8″ | SF Red Rock Academy | 2024 NV has all the tools to compete at a high level in college. The wing possesses tremendous length and quickness which helps him have diverse offensive and defensive games which should both grow exponentially as he gets older and puts on weight/strength. Gory also has elite athleticism to pair with his other physical tools and uses it to help out on the glass at both ends. I think he could benefit from raising his release point on his shot a bit as it currently takes a bit long for him to bring the ball up from his chest.
Xair Mendez Xair Mendez 6’2″ | SG Montgomery | 2025 State CA-S is a tough, skilled point guard who competes tremendously hard on both ends. Mendez is plenty capable of guarding the opposing point guard 94-feet and is excellent at playing passing lanes. Xair is a capable three point shooter off the bounce, but is currently more effective getting into the lane and finishing or creating for others. Mendez will be a fun player to watch develop as he already fits so well into most teams.
