<p>The 2024 combo guard was known for his scoring before transferring to Columbus. Now, as a part of the star-studded roster, he's proving he can be a secondary playmaker and connector piece. He's still a microwave scorer who can nail shots from three, get to the rim, and score off the dribble in midrange. Smith is an attentive defender with a body ready for the next level.</p>

<p>Brown is a combo guard who can score on all three levels. A quick first step and a natural attacking mindset make him a playmaker for himself and others. He shot well behind the line, whether it was off the dribble or the catch, but was dialed in from a distance when the ball was pitched his way. At 6'1 Brown is a good finisher, even against shot blockers with high major size. He attacked angles and made adjustments against bigger bodies to finish at the rim. Brown took the game over in sports as a score and distributor while playing top-ten teams and nationally-ranked guards. Underrated Senior out of New Jersey.</p>

<p>The 2025 guard is a growing name out west. He made a name in the southeast with his shooting at the City of Palms. Her shot well behind the line, even in the face of closeouts from a seven footer. He's a shot maker from all three levels with a growing eye for playmaking. He can push the ball in transition, attack the basket with his quickness, and knows his shots on the floor.</p>

<p>Maxwell is a shooter with decent size for the backcourt. He can get hot there like he did when he went 6 for 11 from three for 24 points. He's a high-volume shooter, being the arc, but incredibly efficient. The 6'3 off guard shot 53% on 34 attempts during a four game stretch. He's a capable scorer inside the arc, dropping floaters over bigs and hitting midrange pull ups off the dribble. Maxwell is a capable defender who will sacrifice his body to cause a turnover.</p>

<p>Reddick is a 6'4 point guard who flirted with triple doubles all week. The Kentucky product has next level court vision and quick decision making to boot. In a high paced offense he's consistently looking to make a play and move the ball. Reddick's passing is so dangerous you don't realize he's going after every rebound until you look at the stat sheet. He pushes the pace and is a reliable shooter. Currently being highly recruited at the D3 level and would be a steal for any offense looking for a connector piece who wants to get up and down the floor.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Onyirimba is a hard playing 6'4 forward. He has an incredible motor that helps him excel as a finisher and floor runner. He's a solid post defender with the toughness and strength to cut bigger players down to size. Onyirimba has track athlete speed, great vertical pop, and never stops moving while on the floor. He has work to do on the fine skills of basketball, but from a physical and athletic standpoint he has everything you need to be a college player at a small school and produce on effort alone early in his career. Plays like a high level track athlete</p>
