Gavin might be a surprise to make the All-Tournament Team to some. He’s a prospect that didn’t pop to me right from the get-go, but after watching more intently I grew to like his game and his point guard play a lot. Sees the floor extremely well and makes the easy and correct pass time after time. He can put the ball in the hoop at all three levels as well. He commanded things and was a true floor general that was also a scoring threat.
Highlights
Moore is a kid with solid size and build that just gets the job done and produces. I thought his rebounding ability and interior defense was critical for his team. He didn’t let anything easy go by. He wanted the 50/50 balls and challenged for them. A solid cutter and found ways to score at the hoop.
Highlights
Rutledge has high-level court vision and understanding of the point guard position. Teams were giving him a large amount of defensive attention by trapping and getting the ball out of his hands, because they knew his team goes as he goes. They wanted someone else to beat them, because not only is he an elite distributor, he has a smooth and accurate jumper as well.
Highlights
Luna is just too talented to leave off of the All-Tournament Teams. He was the lead guard for his team and had to make a lot of things happen — and he did. Was aggressive to score and made some high-level passes.

Nova is a dynamic and explosive two-way combo guard. I see no major weaknesses to his game. Very quick, explosive, and athletic, especially off the drive and in transition. Plays low and strong overall on both ends, and it gives him an athletic advantage. Offensively, he can do it all. Shoot the three, finish off the bounce, and is a blur in transition. An elite ability to finish at the hoop. Hit some deep range threes and scored from all over the court.
Justice is a small guard, but he is electric and quick. He uses his elite movement and quickness on both ends. Defensively, his team brought a ton of pressure and Jace and his anticipation and quick hands and feet, thrived. Quick off the bounce, where he’s a great finisher when he gets to the cup. His offensive strong-suit might be his three and range. The third and key piece to Indiana Bucket Boys.
