Highlights
Deandre Williams Deandre Williams 6’3″ TX | 2025 TX showcased a strong body and powerful base down low. The moment he made it near the lane you could find Williams consistently in a post-up position establishing himself on each possession. Williams also showed off his athleticism with his ability to get up and throw it down with two hands in the open floor. Most impressively, Williams proved to be a strong screen setter on and off the ball, quick to set a pick and reset for another while flipping sides, almost always leading to an opening for his guards flooding to create.
Malachi Hubbard Malachi Hubbard 6’8″ | C Denton Braswell | 2025 TX is a 6’8” man-child who consistently proves to be an explosive athlete that can pin shots off the backboard repeatedly. Hubbard blocked shots with ease at times forcing his opponent to settle for jumpers. This kid always looked to challenge everything that came inside and crashed the boards hard after making them miss.
Evan Mayhew Evan Mayhew 6’9″ | C Georgetown | 2025 TX ‘s footwork was one of the most impressive aspects of his game, allowing him to excel in the post and score efficiently around the basket. Smooth and precise steps down low with the capability to be agile and light on his feet while using long strides in the paint to get from block to block. Evan also showed a go-to drop step spin finish through contact. Mayhew was always ready to score, prepared to duck-in at any moment making him a reliable passing option for his penetrating guards.
Jacory Alexander Jacory Alexander PF Plfugerville Weiss | 2025 TX has displayed post footwork when he puts the ball on the deck, often opting for drop step spins that lead him into the paint with a counter up-and-under step through ready for the help defender. Very tricky with his footwork, he understands how to use subtle tricks to create space and get his defender off balance, not to mention his knack for changing directions in tight spaces.
