Keelin Anglin
This sophomore had one of the most fluid and consistent shots of the weekend. Anglin has range to the college line and wastes no movement on his shot. Most players use a dip to get into their rhythm but the 2025 prospect catches ready to shoot. A quick release, consistent production, and a skillet that allows him to attack hard closets makes home someone to track.
Nathaniel Houston
Deep range and confidence stands out for this smaller combo guard. Houston hit several three beyond NBA range. He can get hot in a hurry and finished several games with three or more shots made from deep. Houston best game came with five threes and 22 points.
The unsigned senior showed that he could run the show and can threes. Grace started the game as an off ball shooter that could hit shots anywhere on the floor. There’s no hesitation on his jumper. He showed the ability to make shots off the dribble, from a stand still, and off movement. When Grace is at his best when he initiates the offense and moves off ball to find an open shot.
Tommie Hall
Hall knows how to make shots with the ball in his hands and on the wings. He has good scoring instincts and creates space when he has the ball. At 6’2 he has a strong frame with room to fill it out. Between his handle, jump shot, and solid physical measurements Hall has the outfitting of a next level guard.
Carson Williams
Williams is the guy that burns help defenses with his shooting. The 2024 shooting guard had one of the most consistent catch and shoot games of the tournament. Any time a defense was collapsed Williams was ready to shoot. He has decent size for the guard spot at 6’2 size with a solid frame.
Jalen Yutzy
Yutzy is a 6’3 shot creator with a long history of getting buckets. He has an impeccable skill level with ball handling skills and the footwork to match. He creates space with quick moves without over dribbling. I’m really impressed by how much ground he covers with his moves.
Anthony Proenza
Proenza is a little different from our previous shooters. Instead of being a knockdown threat point shooter he showcased a consistent pull up game. He knows how to get to his spots on either elbow and has touch on his jumper. When he wasn’t hitting mid range jumpers he was showing off his passing in the half court and defensive instincts on the other end.
