Jayden Brown Jayden Brown 5'7" | PG Andover Central | 2025 State KS – The shifty guard showed up and showed out against everyone he was matched up with. Giving the crowd plenty of WOW moments with his ball fakes, footwork, and moves. As expected he showed his range from the 3-point line and once he gets got there’s no stopping him. One thing Jayden has shown huge improvements in is his defense. His ability to guard the ball and stay out of foul trouble has helped his stock tremendously.
Nash Johnsen Nash Johnsen 6'7" | C Conway Springs | 2024 State KS – The big man showed that when he’s matched up against other bigs, he knows how to outwork them. The big man showing off his soft touch around the rim when shooting floaters or hooks. He has a lot of experience playing great competition and that has helped his awareness a lot. His defensive intangibles are huge with how much he affects shots when someone shoots the ball. He either gets a good contest or blocks it.
Kaden Jackson- Started off slow with his shooting but eventually picked it up and made it look easy. Started to make off-balance and contested shots from any and everywhere. His defense came alive and he picked up full court applying really good ball pressure. Good defense leads to good offense and that’s Jackson 100%! He doesn’t get a steal every time but just applying ball pressure forces the offensive player to get tired and immediately gives Kaden the advantage.
Julian Herrera- The experienced player showed a lot of leadership and a high IQ. He seemed to be in the right place at the right time making all the right plays. Standing at about 6’1″ he has a good wingspan for it and uses that to his ability to poke the ball loose a lot of time and go score the other way. He loves to shoot the 3 off the catch and does a really good job of doing it.
Jaeden Fisher- His speed was his biggest advantage and he used it very well. He played the full possession on defense and then ran out, and filled his lanes for the fastbreak. His teammates, having a good eye pitched it ahead which led to a lot of easy layups for him. Fisher will have a breakout year this upcoming season at Clearwater with him having a huge off-season in his development.
