Border League: Top Playmaking Wings/Forwards (Pt. 2)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>LAS VEGAS — Bishop Gorman, Coronado and other Vegas-area high schools played host to one of the premier high school/prep school basketball events of the year over the weekend. The Border League brought teams from across the country to Southern Nevada for a three-day event which was loaded with top team and individual matchups. In this piece we take a closer look at the top performing playmakers on the wing from the weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1131775' first='Derrion' last='Reid'], 2024, Prolific Prep</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There wasn't anything that Reid didn't do on the floor for Prolific. The 6-foot-7 wing was the primary defender on the opponent's best offensive player, showed his dribble, pass and shoot ability and knocked down catch and shoot three's at a consistent clip. Perimeter shooting has been the one knock on Reid's game and it looked like he has addressed it.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1595670' first='Ikenna' last='Alozie'], 2026, Dream City Christian (AZ)</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Alozie is one of the more explosive athletes in the country regardless of class and he had that on full display last weekend. The 6-foot-3 wing is both explosive and strong, has a powerful first step and is a guy who can get into the lane, absorb and finish through contact or elevate and finisher over rim protectors. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1532052' first='Isiah' last='Harwell'], 2025, Wasatch Academy (UT)</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Harwell presence is already one of versatility and the ability to impact multiple facets and stat categories of the game. The 6-foot-5 wing has the ball skills and vision to operate as a primary ball-handler with a high IQ and playmaking mindset. I really liked Harwell as a creator out of the post and mid-post areas. His size, strength and feel allow him to create well for shooters opposite and cutters.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1127312' first='Jaeden' last='Mustaf'], 2024, Overtime Elite (GA)</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mustaf is a long, physical and athletic swingman whose downhill aggressiveness and willingness to initiate and finish through contact stood out the most. The 6-foot-4 Georgia Tech-commit always attacks the rim with the idea to score but is also a guy who can come to two feet and make a read/pass for the next guy.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":4} --> <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='1278435' first='Junior' last='County'], 2026, Utah Prep</h4> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This was my first time getting to see County in person and I came away impressed by a variety of things in his game. First, County is a slasher who moves well without the ball and doesn't need to dominate it to make an impact at the offensive end. Second, the 6-foot-5 wing plays a hard-nosed style of defense and brings great energy and effort on every play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
