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.
Derrion Reid Derrion Reid 6'7" | SF Prolific Prep (CA) | 2024 #26 Nation CA-N , 2024, Prolific Prep
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.
Ikenna Alozie Ikenna Alozie 6'3" | CG Dream City Christian | 2026 State AZ , 2026, Dream City Christian (AZ)
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.
Isiah Harwell Isiah Harwell 6'5" | CG Wasatch Academy | 2025 State #7 Nation UT , 2025, Wasatch Academy (UT)
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.
Jaeden Mustaf Jaeden Mustaf 6'4" | SG OTE | 2024 #51 Nation GA , 2024, Overtime Elite (GA)
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.
Junior County Junior County 6'5" | PG Utah Prep | 2026 State UT , 2026, Utah Prep
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.
