15U
Jeremiah Camara Jeremiah Camara 5'10" | PG Reading | 2027 PA – 5’8” / 2027 / Reading / Team Final Red EYBL / Combo Guard: Camara is a speedy 3-level scoring guard who saw major varsity minutes in 2023-24. He averaged 9 points per game and popped 23 triples on the season. He scored a season high 20 points (1 three) vs. Muhlenberg. Once Camara has established his 3-point shot, he will use head and ball fakes to set up his dribble drives. Camara’s ability to get into the paint for buckets or to distribute is impressive His basketball IQ and court awareness are well beyond his years.

Correll Akings Correll Akings 5'10" | SG Wilson | 2026 State PA – 5’10” / 2026 / Wilson / East Coast Power HGSL / Combo Guard: During his sophomore campaign, Akings averaged 12 points per game. However, over his last six contests of 2023-24 that stat line has increased to 16 ppg. (2+ made threes per contest). It will be interesting to see if Akings can keep that momentum going when he takes the court in Pittsburgh. He is a versatile guard prospect with speed and elusive handles. That combination enables Akings to get downhill quickly and push the fast break to score or distribute. In the half court, Akings can pop threes and score off the dribble at the rim as well as via pull ups.

Jamal Hicks Jr Jamal Hicks Jr 6'2" | CG William Penn Charter | 2025 State PA – 6’2″ / 2025 / Penn Charter / Philly Revolution / Combo Guard: The extraordinarily versatile and quick Hicks posted a breakout 2023-24 season. He averaged 12.4 points er contest and shot 34% from deep. His outstanding junior season has produced interest from school like Drexel and Columbia. With his tight handles, quickness, and high IQ, Hicks can burn as a point guard. Hicks can play at the shooting guard spot too. There he can generate points from behind the arc or with slashes to the rack. Hicks is also a fantastic open court player.
Saaid Lee Saaid Lee 5'9" | PG West Catholic | 2025 State PA – 5’9″ / 2025 / West Catholic / BW Elite / Point Guard: Lee’s standout junior season for West Catholic produce a stat line of 10 points, 3 assists and 2 steals per game. This past week Lee helped push his Positive Image Blue squad to Donofrio Classic championship game. He averaged 13 points and 5 assists per game over the last two contests of the Donofrio tournament. Lee is a dribble drive wizard who can use the bounce to create for himself or teammates. He can score via lay-ins through contact or floaters over taller defenders. Once Lee is in the paint, he excels at dropping passes to the dunker spot or kicking out to open shooters.
