Johnson is a lead guard with a smooth offensive game. He is a confident shooter with an unlimited range, and thanks to his quick release, he needs virtually zero breathing room to get his shot off. I really like how he pushes the pace in transition as he always keeps his head up, searching for the open man. He takes smart shots and can fill it up in a hurry. Johnson is someone who you cannot leave open from anywhere on the floor as he can get his buckets on his own, or through the use of good off-ball movement.
Highlights
Kuhl is a pass-first point-forward who uses physicality and IQ to impact the game as an offensive threat. He has great mobility for his size and when you combine that with his strength, he becomes a real rebounding threat. With the solid ball-handling skills he possesses, Kuhl is able to grab-n-go off the defensive glass and become a break starter himself. I really like the energy that Kuhl has, it’s evident he’s a team oriented player who wants to win.

Christensen is a taller ball-handling wing that plays with great rhythm. He’s a true three-level scorer who has phenomenal mechanics on his jump-shot. He is also a solid athlete which helps him in just about every aspect of the game. He plays with good awareness and will pretty much always make the right play. Christensen is a confident scorer who has a very well-rounded offensive game.
I love the defensive intensity Skime brings for his team. He is a two-way player who does a really nice job of turning defense into offense through the use of active hands and feet and extreme on-ball pressure that often extends into the backcourt. Skime moves really well and plays at a good speed. This helps him maneuver around the defense when he is attacking the rim. Skime also makes great decisions as a playmaker.
Highlights
McKenzie absolutely set the nets on fire in an exciting overtime game on Saturday afternoon. He helped keep his team in the game and did so with a lot of confidence in his shooting. He can shoot it from anywhere on the floor and can get hot very quickly. McKenzie is tasked with much ball-handling responsibilities and handles that task with great poise and IQ. Do not lot McKenzie get going from the perimeter as he is one of the most elite 2026 shooters around.
Highlights
Erickson is a tall and long forward who will beat you from the inside and out. I like his aggressiveness as he attacks the basket. He is often rewarded for this as he shoots a lot of free throws. Erickson has a good frame and can guard multiple positions. He also uses his length in combination with his guard skills to space the floor. He has great footwork and patience in the paint and also displays a soft touch as he finishes through contact. Erickson can do a bit of everything on either end.
