A quick, aggressive guard for Fly Academy, Ajayi was constantly knifing through the defense and getting to the rim. He’s a guy who was able to find space, splitting defenders, and getting downhill with a quick first step and some smooth finishing at the rim. His burst and aggression to the hoop allowed him to convert on several tough, contested finishes by getting to the hoop just before defenders could reach him.
Highlights
A good competitor over the weekend, Primus Jr played with good composure on the ball and used a nice, compact handle to create space and make some plays off the bounce. He showed he can succeed off the ball too, moving well without the rock and finding space to make plays. The OTD guard made plays on the glass and on the defensive end too, showing a pretty solid all-around game.
Brownell showed an impressive ability to attack off the dribble and was good operating out of the triple threat to get a beat on his defender and head straight to the hoop. His energy was boundless, and he was consistently darting to the hoop for layups and to draw fouls. He brought good energy to the defensive end too, racking up some steals and pushing the pace in transition.
Highlights
Christian Lowe

A longer, athletic wing/guard, Lowe was too powerful and active for the defense to contain much of the weekend. He did a great job with or without the ball to attack gaps, play off two feet, and stay on balance for strong shot attempts inside. He was also able to play through contact and drew a number of trips to the foul line.

The Portland Reign guard was a pretty well-balanced scorer, though most of his points came around the paint, he also showed he can hit the 3-ball. He was able to get defenders moving backward when he attacked the paint and made a ton of floaters and short jumpers with the space given. He did a great job beating the initial defender and getting into the heart of the defense to make plays.
