Brodey Bursiaga Brodey Bursiaga 6’6″ | PF Perkins-Tryon | 2026 OK made his presence known on the interior. He dominated the glass on both ends of the court, turning offensive rebounds into second chance points regularly. He would mainly score inside after grabbing an offensive rebound, but he was a willing passer that got assist off of rebounds, as well. He was good at getting positioning and was able to score inside time after time. That is not where his offensive game ended, as he knocked down multiple mid-range jumpers. This was not a fluke, because he did this in all three games that I scouted him in. Outside of his rebounding and offensive impact, he made a big impact on defense. He has good size for his age, standing between 6’3-6’4, I am guessing. This helped with him providing good interior defense. He was able to accumulate multiple blocks and an occasional steal. He had a massive role in his team going 4-0 at the event.
James Parker Robertson
James Parker Robertson
James Parker Robertson played well in both games that I saw him play in. He did a little bit of everything. He rebounded decently, turning defensive rebounds into fastbreak points. This was by either him scoring or him throwing an assist down the court. Off of his offensive rebounds, he hit a mid-range jumper off of one of them, got fouled on a putback on another attempt, and he was able to finish other putbacks. He shOWE d the ability to knock down the three, as he had a three-pointer in each game. His impact on the defensive end was very good, as well. He had good shot contest, was tipping the ball out on pass attempts or out of the offensive players hands. He had a big impact on both ends of the court, which helped his team go 3-1 on the weekend.
Brandon Rogers
Brandon Rogers
Brandon Rogers did a little bit of everything for his team, coming up with plays on defense, scoring the ball on offense, and rebounding. He had a couple of offensive rebounds that led to putbacks. Most of his rebounds came on the defensive side of the ball, where he would grab it and fire an outlet pass or push the pace. It became a common occurence with him finishing at the rim in transition. He shOWE d the ability to drive, as he finished one drive with a hopstep. On defense, he played good defense on the ball and came away with a block and a steal. He was doing a little bit of everything for his team, as he helped them go 4-0 on the weekend.
Isiah Garrett
Isiah Garrett
Isiah Garrett made a massive impact on the glass, just like he does every time I watch him play. It felt like a regular occurrence for him to grab an offensive rebound and put it back in. He would grab defensive rebounds regularly, as well. He was scoring inside consistently and was playing solid defense. He had a couple of blocks and played solid interior defense. It was a good game from him, with his bread and butter being his rebounding impact. It was enough to help his team go 3-1 during the event.
Esteban Calderon
Esteban Calderon
Esteban Calderon looked like a great two-way player, making a big impact on both ends of the court. On defense, he played great on-ball defense and forced one steal after another. He recorded three steals for him. On two of them he finished through contact. One of them there was a foul called to where he knocked down the free throw for an and-one. He had an offensive rebound and another rebound. On offense, he scored in a variety of ways. There were a couple of plays that he had a great cut that led to a score. He scored in transition and scored inside a couple of times. That is not all he did, as he knocked down a three pointer. The last thing that he did offensively was getting an assist. He drove the gap and kicked to an open shooter for an assist. He got it done on both ends, which helped his team go 3-1 during the event.
