This talent included some great players and top notch rebounders. This article is recapping the top rebounders out of all of the 15U players at the event. Lets find out who made the list.
Isiah Garrett
Isiah Garrett
Isiah Garrett made a living on the offensive glass. He made a big impact with his rebounding, but the offensive glass is where a lot of them came from. He was turning a lot of these into second chance points. Utilizing his size and athleticism, he was able to score over the smaller competition. He scored inside on plays that he got good positioning, as well. From the free throw line, he was scoring some, but not the most efficient. With how he played, it resembled a younger Andre Drummond. Rebounding at a high clip, turning those into second chance points, and playing solid inside defense.
Israel Fugett
Israel Fugett
Israel Fugett is dominant in every game that I watch him play. This is the second event that I have scouted him in and he does the same thing every game. He dominates the glass, scores inside repeatedly, and makes a massive impact on defense. He averaged probably around 14 rebounds per game with like 12 points per game. To go along with that, he provides great help defense and utilizes nice size and athleticism to come away with blocks, averaging probably around four blocks per game. He helped lead his team to a 4-0 weekend, not losing a game. They outscored their opponents by a total of 48 points over the four games, an average of 12 points per game. If he continues to grow and improve, he has high upside at the next level. He is the best rebounder at the event, by far.
Reed Hellman Reed Hellman 6’5″ | PF Waukomis | 2026 State OK looked impressive on the boards whenever I watched him play. Gobbling one offensive rebound after another, that is where he was making his biggest impact. I recorded four offensive rebounds for him in the game, but it is very possible that I missed some. He had a couple of finishes inside and made a good impact on defense. Playing well defensively, he had a steal and a block to go along with good on-ball defense. Standing at 6’3, he was able to utilize his height well.
Highlights
Brandon Rogers
Brandon Rogers
Brandon Rogers came out of the gate and made an impact right away. Grabbing one defensive rebound after another, not allowing his opponents to get any second chance points. When they did, it was few and far between. His rebounding impact did not stop there, as he grabbed a couple of offensive rebounds. Whenever he did grab an offensive rebound, it resulted in him having a putback. He got out and was running in transition regularly, scoring fast break points time and time again. On offense, he showed flashes of being able to drive, as he had a finish that he utilized a hopstep in. On defense, he had a block and steal to go with some good shot contest. It was a solid all around game for him.
Aidon Siquerios
Aidon Siquerios
Aidon Siquerios dominated the game in every area. In a game that his team narrowly lost (their only loss of the weekend), he did everything that you could ask for. He was doing one no look pass after another. These passes consisted of a no-look over the head pass to a cutter, a no-look backwards bounce pass to a cutter, a full-court pass that was spot on, and several other impressive passes. Despite looking effortless out there, he was grabbing one rebound after another, on both ends of the court. He consistently scored second-chance points. On defense, he played great interior defense and had a couple of blocks. He did absolutely everything in this game, flirting with a triple double. I am guessing that he finished the game with like 16 points, 12 rebounds, and seven assist. It was the most impressive singular performance that I saw this weekend. I was left stunned, like the defense was left lost by some of the passes that he made.
Braylen Taylor
Braylen Taylor
Braylen Taylor dominated the offensive glass when I watched him play. Utilizing good size, he would grab an offensive rebound and put it back in, finishing with multiple second chance points. I recorded six offensive rebounds, but it is very possible that he had more than that. He scored a few times outside of the second chance points, knocking down a free throw and a 10 foot turnaround jumper. He also finished inside with the foul and knocked down the free throw for an old fashion three-point play. On defense, he recorded a block. It was a great game for him, flirting with a double-double.
