Jordyn was the best ballhandler I saw on the day. He literally dribbled circles around his opponents and left them in a daze. He was excellent at escaping traps and had a pretty jump shot. He was incredibly quick and never seemed to stop moving. The kind of PG that absolutely makes his teammates better and sets them up with easy opportunities. If it’s not there for a teammate, Goodman is skilled at creating his own shots if in a bind. He shows a tenacity that’s rare and never quits. Very talented player.

There’s something about Kamden that makes me think “future star”. And it’s funny, he’s very skilled at multiple things, so it’s hard to pinpoint what exactly it is. But the way he moves, his body language, his ability to create space, his fierce hustle on defense and his quick thinking – it all screams potential! Not only that, he is already this talented at his age so he’s only going to get better. Excellent ballhandler with great footwork and he’s smart offensively and defensively. Saw him win multiple 50/50 balls and he just never stopped making an impact. An absolute future player to watch.
Benton is a complete player. He plays aggressive, tenacious defense that stops his opponents in their tracks. He’s got a beautiful shooting form and knows how to get open and create space for himself. He does not quit on plays and hustles on both ends of the floor. One of the quicker players I saw on the day and he was able to beat his defenders down the floor countless times for easy points in transition.

Kyren’s game is incredibly smooth. His footwork, the way he carries himself, his touch on his shots in the paint – he stands out from the crowd in a big way. He’s solid from the three-point line and he won’t back down from contact in the paint. He puts in work on the glass on both ends and can dunk on his opponents on the fast break with ease. An excellent spot-up shooter that can finish from outside or in the paint. He creates turnovers on defense that lead to easy buckets for his team. Impact player.
Salyn is big and strong up top and knows how to use that to get to his spots. When he’s not banging in the paint, he has a pretty jump shot that he can sink on his defender at any moment. He’s an excellent defender that will send shots into the rafters if his opponents aren’t careful. He can finish through contact and isn’t afraid to be aggressive. His crossover is quick and leaves his defenders in the dust. He has nice footwork and an impressive spin move that allows him to create space for easy points at the basket.
