<p>DMV Live Session I is in the books and as usual, the event drew coaches of all levels from around the country to evaluate the high level of talent in the DMV area. In this article, we'll look at some available 2024 prospects that helped rise their stock.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1225259' first='Jordan' last='Brathwaite'] | Mount St. Joe</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>For the second-straight weekend with his new team, Brathwaite proved himself to be a major addition with his size, shot-making and two-way impact. He averaged 15.3 points per game on 64.7 percent from beyond the arc while pulling down 5.8 rebounds and dishing out just under three assists per game. American, Drexel, Nicholls St., Towson and William & Mary extended offers based off what he showed this weekend.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1225255' first='Tyler' last='Boston'] | Bullis</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Boston proved himself as a tough, dependable floor general who can orchestrate a talented team in a number of ways. His poise against pressure, ability to control the pace of a game and bring winning intangibles made believers of East Tennessee State, Fairfield, Fordham and Holy Cross. Boston averaged eight points and five rebounds per game helping Bullis to a 3-1 record.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1579095' first='Tremayne' last='Hawkins'] | Grace Brethren</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A 6'7 forward, Hawkins was active at both ends in the painted area. He has ability to score in face-up scenarios and create for himself off 1-to-2 dribbles. His reliable hands come into play on dump-offs and finishes through contact around the bucket. Hawkins averaged 13.8 points and 5.5 rebounds per game as Grace Brethren won three out of their four contests.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1370514' first='Malcolm' last='Thomas'] | DeMatha</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Thomas was nothing short of impressive this weekend as the Stags finished a perfect 5-0 with a massive win over PVI. He utilized his high-level athleticism to disrupt countless attempts in the paint, closed down the glass and scored in a variety of ways from 15 feet and in. Thomas finished with an impressive stat line of 14.5 points, 5.8 rebounds and four blocks per game.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1366890' first='Brendan' last='Johnson'] | Calvert Hall</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Johnson took advantage of the stage starting with the play-in games on Thursday night to prove himself as a certified shot-maker. The 6'3 guard averaged just under 25 points per game in the four games played and looks to be one of the premiere guards in the BCL this season.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Martin Somerville | Bishop McNamara</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Somerville's stock has been on a steady rise since the beginning of spring and he showed why. The 6'2 southpaw combo guard knocked down 14 of his 28 three's on the weekend and shows improvement with his ability to provide production in many ways as a lead guard with each viewing.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1579098' first='Josiah' last='Legree'] | Loyola Blakefield</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Legree is another new face to a new team this season making the move from Parkville. The 6'1 point guard doesn't waste time in brining electricity to the floor with his creative scoring and passing ability. He scored 16 points, five rebounds and added three assists per game as the Dons went 1-1. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1369642' first='DJ' last='Wingfield'] | Mount St. Joe</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>It was a big weekend for Wingfield as he's set to take on a bigger role for the Gaels as a senior. He showcased his high-level of shooting from long range off the catch that caught the eye of several college programs. The 6'1 guard converted on 14 of his 25 attempts from deep while averaging 14 points per game for the 3-1 Gaels.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1259625' first='Jadyn' last='Harris'] | Bishop O'Connell</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Harris ended the weekend with two strong performances that in a nutshell, gave coaches on the sideline an idea for how his versatility can translate to the next level. His size at 6'7 combined with his ability to score from all three levels, defend multiple positions and the potential for long-term develop is certainly intriguing. Harris posted per game stats of 13.8 points, 5.5 rebounds and three assists helping the Knights to a 4-0 record.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1759604' first='Ky' last='Panda-Massey'] | Grace Brethren</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>To no surprise, Grace Brethren throws out a slew of tough, gritty guards that get after it on both ends and Panda-Massey was a tone-setter from the start. He isn't afraid to absorb contact on drives, can knock down shots with space and provide relentless pressure on the defensive end. He ended the weekend averaging 13.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and three assists per outing. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Mekai Johnson | Bishop Ireton</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Johnson stood out with his ability to make shots from three and the mid-range for a guard who is 6'5. He has a strong frame that he can use to bump defenders off the dribble and create space to get into his shots. He shot the ball well off movement with good footwork and balance. Ireton finished the weekend 2-2 behind his 17.3 points and 6.5 rebounds per game. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1280947' first='Tyonne' last='Farrell'] | Mount St. Joe</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>When Farrell is in bully mode and not settling for tough jumpers, there aren't many defenders who can battle him physically throughout the course of a game. When he's exposing driving lanes, operating in the mid-post or running the floor and finishing strong, the 6'6 forward is at his best. The trio of Brathwaite, Farrell and Wingfield were a big reason for their 3-1 record. Farrell scored 16 points and pulled down 5.5 rebounds per game.</p>
