The 6-4 sophomore guard is a versatile 3-level scorer who can get to the rim without hesitation, as he created opportunities for him and his teammates as he finished with 13 points, on 4-of-8 shooting from the field. He didn’t seem to get rattled when opposing guards were applying pressure on him as he showcased his strong passing instincts to open shooters. Barrett continues to have strong upside as his recruitment is just getting started after he picked up an offer from the University of Washington earlier this season.
A 6-5 senior guard who remains one of the top unsigned prospects in the nation has brought a good combination skillset of size, speed and athleticism. He rebounded well from the guard position who can also defend out on the perimeter. He also made electrifying plays around the rim whether it was off of put-backs or keeping possessions alive using his length. On the defensive end, Edgecombe used his versatility to guard multiple positions using his length out on the perimeter as well as at the rim.
The 6-4 sophomore guard continues to shine as he is one of the top perimeter shooters in the Southern California area. Barnett finished with 15 points, on 6-of-11 shooting from the field including knocking down three 3-pointers in the win over Windermere Prep. Barnett has displayed a ton of confidence in his game where his upside continues to grow. He has a strong understanding for the game as he currently holds an offer from the University of Washington. Barnett has good intangibles to be a real deal college prospect as his IQ continues to develop and his game progesses.
The 6-8 sophomore guard has smooth handles for his size where he can attack off the bounce, as well as knock down tough and contested shots from beyond the arc. He also played lock-down defense against multiple positions throughout the game showing his activity in the passing lanes. His ability to move around the rim has also continued to take huge strides where he can challenge shots without fouling. Expect a huge gap in Constanza’s game as he continues to get better every time he steps out onto the floor.
The 6-8 senior guard has strong tools whether it’s scoring off the bounce or off the catch. Bailey can score on all three levels without hesitation and has strong aspirations to be a top pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. He adds super length to his skills and is a capable on-the-ball defender. Expect his name to be mentioned numerous times as the week rolls on at the City of Palms.
