Guzman plays hard, and competed on the defensive end. He showed more offense this weekend, as the guard was comfortable handling on the perimeter. He did a good job of slashing to the rim, as well as leading the break and finishing in transition.
BRENNEN CUELLO
BRENNEN CUELLO
Cuello is a playmaker, that has been successful in the past in catch and shoot situations. He added a few new wrinkles to his game, using a solid handle to defeat defenders as well as create shots for himself, showing a nice shooting touch in the process.
Jaden Ballon

Ballon is one of those players, that looks shifty the minute he steps on the court. He was no different this weekend. The PG was able to use a creative wiggle to beat pressure as well as get downhill. His game is advanced, as he can already use side and step backs to get off his shot.
Vari Floyd Johnson

VFJ was one of the most unique players I saw on the day. One part rugged, one part skill Johnson grabbed more than his share of in traffic boards. He scored the majority of his points off putbacks, but also used a combination of fallaway jumpers to score, highlighting his offensive skill.
Keith Simons III

I didn’t get a height on him, but all you need to know is that the PG is called “Speedy” The aptly named jitterbug PG was predictably one of the fastest players with the ball in his hands, racing down the court to put constant pressure on the defense. He did a good job of making high speed decisions drawing and dishing on more than a couple occasions.
