Nikheel Patel (#6 D1 New Mexico) – you can’t afford to leave him open because he has the ability to make you pay. With his talented team that draws attention already, you’re forced to help off of him occasionally to stop the ball and that could be the 1 shot he needs to catch fire.
Jaidon ward (#3 D1 New Mexico) – The kid knows how to make plays. Was trying to find his rhythm early on and couldn’t but he continued to make plays that helped his team win. Later he found his jumper and really put the nail in the coffin hitting a dagger. Smooth jumper and release with a soft touch.
Cayden Perry (#3 Texas Impact) – long and lanky guard that’s not done growing and causes a ton of mismatches. He does a good job of finishing off 2 feet and avoiding the shot blockers. Handles the ball well and has a good shooting touch.
Champ Spears (College bound)- Champ is a crafty guard that understands his angles and change of direction. He does a good job of freezing defenders and then blowing by them instead of fighting with their athleticism. He has a really good form and a nice shot. Spears will be know as a shooter here soon.
Landin Tenequer Landin Tenequer OK (Oklahoma Runners)- Landin is the guy that is usually either receiving the dump off passes or passing them. He did all the little things that really changed momentum in favor of his runners team. His team knows the energy he brings and his value.
