Kevin Addison – 6’4” / Junior / Cheltenham / Wing: Addison is a bouncy, versatile, and long athlete who contributes at both ends. On the perimeter he is a solid catch and shoot wing. Addison can also operate in the mid-range and work the offensive glass for putbacks. At the other end, he is a tenacious defensive rebounder, intimidating weakside shot blocker and solid on-ball defender.
Reece Brown Reece Brown 6'3" | CG Trinity | 2026 State PA . Jr. – 6’3” / Freshman / Trinity / Team Final Red / Combo Guard: Brown is a lefty with a silky smooth 3-point stroke. When defenders chased him off the arc, Brown used his dribble skills to get into the paints for pull-ups, floaters, and lay-ins. He also excelled in pick-n-roll action. As a bonus, Brown is a tenacious on-ball defender.
Jayvon Byrd Jayvon Byrd 6'1" | PG West Catholic | 2027 State PA – 5’9” / 8th Grade / West Catholic / K-Low Elite / Combo Guard: This New Jersey native ran with WC and really turned heads on Saturday by draining threes from all over the court. Byrd’s lights out shooting had the whole gym buzzing. The only thing more impressive than Byrd’s accurate shooting from deep was the poise and composure this 2027 played with against elite high school competition.
Jake Pukszyn Jake Pukszyn 6'2" | CG Liberty | 2026 State PA – 6’2″ / Freshman / Liberty / We R1 / Combo Guard: Pukszyn is a lefty who can play in transition as a scorer or distributor. In the halfcourt Pukszyn is a reliable secondary ball handler. When he has the rock, Pukszyn can get to the rim for buckets and is an excellent drive and kick passer. Additionally, Pukszyn can splash jumpers from all over the floor. We also noticed that Pukszyn is in constant communication with his teammates.
Vaughn Martin – 5’10” / Junior / Dock Mennonite / PSB Philly / Combo Guard: Martin is a versatile guard who possesses all the tools. His spot-up three-point shooting must be respected. But if a defender elects to crowd him, Martin will use his crafty handles to get into the paint for floaters or creative finishes at the rim. When he does not have the rock, his frequent off-ball movement make him difficult to guard. Martin also does a nice job of initiating half-court sets for his team.
Kyle Shawaluk Kyle Shawaluk 6'4" | SG Perkiomen Valley | 2024 State PA – 6’5″ / Junior / Perkiomen Valley / PSB Philly / Wing: Shawaluk produced a handful of noteworthy performances on the spring circuit. However, a Philly HS Live S2, he took his game to another level and was extremely impressive. With his textbook mechanics and quick trigger Shawaluk drained threes of every variety. He also got out in transition where he scored and distributed. Shawaluk pounded the offensive glass and converted on second chance opportunities through contact. Plus, he displayed a high basketball IQ and a non-stop motor.
