I caught Sanders on an off game and he still oozed an alpha dog mentality. He’s an athletic 6’3 guard who attacks the basket whenever he gets the ball. Sanders pushed the tempo and becomes a one man fast break after securing a rebound. The California native finishes above the rim with ease and power. He’s a vocal defender who holds his own in isolation and quarterbacks the defense.
Dkarin Johnson Dkarin Johnson 6'2" | SG Putnam City North | 2027 OK | Team Griffin
Johnson is an athletic combo guard with a blazing motor. He’s still a bit raw but has the speed and tools to be threat amongst his highly thought of peers. The Oklahoma native says he’s working on his perimeter shot and is showing in flashes after shooting 50% from three on six attempts. He’s a big time rebounder for the position and uses it to start the break. His passing vision may go under the radar to his athleticism but he has serious court vision. With Johnson’s athletic tools, he becomes a playmaker on both ends of the court.
Cayden Daughtry Cayden Daughtry 6'0" | PG Calvary Christian Academy | 2027 State FL | Florida Rebels
Daughtry is a dynamic shotmaking guard. He balances playmaking for others with a knack for creating shots off the dribble. He looks to push the pace and create opportunities in free flowing way. The Calvary Christian point guards are on a diet of tough shots, including finishing in traffic. While the young guard is considered to be on the smaller side it’s nothing a quick release, incredible efficiency, and a high feel for the game can’t even out between the lines.
Aaron Britt Jr. Aaron Britt Jr. 6'1" | CG The Villages | 2027 FL | Nightrydas
Britt blends scoring and playmaking instincts as a 5’10 lead guard. He’s capable of running an offense and has a knowledge of where his teammates should be. He can play on and off the ball but is better with the ball in his hands at this stage. He’s a quick ball handler with a mid range pull up and quickness to get to the rim. He still has steps to take in leadership and shooting, but that’s what makes me think his upside is real.
Nolan Nelson Nolan Nelson 6'7" Patriot Oaks Academy | 2027 State FL | Jet Academy
Nelson is a 6’7 forward with an athletic frame. He stands out on the court with early size and uses his frame to produce on both ends. His high school film shows he’s capable of playing inside out, but today, he did his dirty work in the paint. Nelson hit the offensive glass hard and finished well against players his size.
