This talent included some great players and shooters. This article is recapping the top shooters out of all of the 15U players at the event. Lets find out who made the list.
Cooper Nelson Cooper Nelson 5’11” | PG Sterlington | 2026 State LA showed the ability game in and game out that he can make a massive impact on both ends of the court. He was consistently productive all three games that I watched him play. He can shoot the ball from deep, while keeping the opponents on their toes with his relentless drives to the basket. His quick first step made him lethal enough to make the defense not close out too hard on him. On defense, he was coming away with steals and playing great perimeter defense. He has a smooth jumper that was reflected with how the ball constantly went through the net. If he continues to grow and improve his game, we might be talking about someone that is making a big impact for a power five school down the road.

Maddox Hamilton Maddox Hamilton 6’2″ | CG Mount Saint Mary | 2027 OK shoots the ball with elite confidence. He has a smooth jump shot that has a quick release. In both games that I saw him play, he knocked down multiple threes in each game. He was able to come away with a steal in each game, as well as grabbing a couple of rebounds. He is someone that can give you shooting, but the one knock on him is that his emotions are visible. If he misses a shot, he will put his head down and sometimes carry himself with an attitude. If he is able to mature on the court and not let his emotions be shown, he has the potential to be a really good player for colleges to take a look at.

Kohen Warden dominated all three games that I watched him play. He provides size and impacts the game in several areas. He rebounds the ball well and shoots the ball extremely well. His size to go along with a high release makes him hard for his opponents to stop. He had a stretch to towards the start of a game against another team that was 3-0 and extremely talented at the time that he hit three straight three pointers. As part of the run that he was having, he rose up and hit a three while getting knocked down. He went on to knock down the free throw for the four-point play. He ended this game with four three pointers and his team going undefeated during the event. He scored the ball extremely well inside and out.
Jarmile Robinson was amazing in the first game that I saw him in and played well in the second game, as well. He is a true scorer and was feasting on drives to the basket, finishing through contact time after time. That is not where his game ends, as he was keeping the defense on their toes with his outside scoring. He knocked down several threes in the first game. At halftime of this game, he had 18 points, finishing the game with 26 points. He shoots the ball well and his quick-first step helps him be a lethal threat from all three levels.
Brady Robertson Brady Robertson 5’11” | SG Mustang | 2026 OK showed in both games that I watched him play that he is an elite shooter. He knocked down multiple threes, with the second game that I watched him in seeing him knock down five three pointers. As soon as he was catching the ball, it felt like he was releasing it. He was making bank from the corner, with three of his five being from there. His impact went beyond his shooting, as he grabbed a few rebounds (I recorded three) and saw him flashing the ability to finish at the basket. He was efficient from the free throw line, as well. It was a great game shooting the ball, which helped his team pull out a narrow victory.
