Weismiller, a 6-0 point guard is an absolute distributor on the offensive end as he does a great job setting up for his teammates and playing with an unselfish knack. He is also an efficient shooter when it comes to shooting from beyond the arc as he can score off the catch as well as off the bounce. He is also an above-average rebounder for his size on the defensive end and has continued to grow his basketball IQ. College coaches should be on the lookout for Weismiller as he will be fun to watch for the next four years.

The 6-1 freshman guard has shown tremendous potential at such a young age as he was a lead catalyst for Riviera Prep winning the Class 3A state title last season as an 8th Grader. Fuentes can do it all on the offensive end whether it’s his perimeter shooting or his playmaking skills. On the defensive end, Fuentes plays with a load of physicality and makes things difficult for opposing guards. Keep an eye on Fuentes and Riviera Prep this season as they are destined favorites to repeat as state champions.

Gabriel Nesmith Gabriel Nesmith 6’6″ | SG Montverde | 2027 State FL , A 6-5 freshman combo guard is one of the top gifted scorers in the state for his class. He can score in a variety of ways whether it’s in the pick-and-roll offense or scoring off the bounce. Nesmith has an explosive first step where he can finish at the rim against multiple defenders as well. On the defensive end, Nesmith is very versatile where he can guard positions 1 through 4 with his length and disruption out on the perimeter.
Cayden Daughtry, A 5-10 freshman combo guard has a huge skillset whether it’s his ability to score on all three levels or setting good on-ball screens. He also plays with an unselfish knack where he sets the table for his teammates by playing under control and limiting mistakes on the offensive end. He is also one of the top hard-nosed defenders in the freshman class as he is as pure of a competitor as anybody. He helped lead the Florida Rebels to the 15U Final Four at the EYBL Peach Jam this past summer.
