Connor McDevitt | South Metro Elite

McDevitt was a huge target for South Metro Elite and made a big impact over the weekend. The playmaking wing has great size and next level ready movement off the ball.

Cal Spencer | Northstar Titans 

Spencer had the ball on a string all weekend for Northstar Titans. He did away with pressure at a high level and got to his spots consistently. Most impressive was his ability to finish with either hand and through contact.

Arsee Gabi | Minnesota Powerhouse

Gabi had a solid showing for Minnesota Powerhouse, when at the helm, his quick first step got him into the paint on a consistent basis. He was able to pass to teammates in their shooting pocket after pulling help defense. When recognizing the defense sagging off, he knocked down shots in succession all weekend long. 

Ayden Green | Team Tyus 

Green was an impactful table setter for Team Tyus. The patient and poised guard handled pressure with next level court vision and steady handle. Most impressive was his touch from range and ability to catch fire quickly.
