Jaydn Jenkins Jaydn Jenkins 6'8" | PF Archbishop Wood | 2027 State PA | 2027 Team Final 15U
Jenkins had a 14-point, 11-rebound double-double versus Boo Williams, but it was his defensive performance that stood out most. The lanky big man blocked 3 shots and altered several more. And because he kept his arms up and moving, he deterred multiple drivers from even attempting shots. Then on offense, he scored on putbacks and quality looks from the dunker spot.
Al’Tariq Reevey Al’Tariq Reevey 6'8" | C Life Center | 2026 State NJ | 2026 Team Final 16U
Reevey gave Jet Academy a tough 12 points and 10 boards inside. The 6’10 center brought the physicality on both ends, throwing down two dunks in the halfcourt and bodying up opposing bigs while protecting the rim. He played through contact every time he got the ball near the basket. And when he couldn’t convert the lay-up, he went to the free grow line to finish things off.
Will Riley Will Riley 6'7" | SF Phelps School | 2025 State #29 Nation PA | 2025 UPlay 17U
Going off for 28 points against The Family on Friday night, Riley led his team to the W on the main court. He got to the charity stripe early, using his fluid, off-the-dribble game to touch the paint. His drives later turned into two-point buckets on lay-ups and middies. Then, in the fourth quarter, Riley picked his spots to initiate the offense and close out the game back at the line.
RJ Smith RJ Smith 5'8" | PG Imhotep Charter | 2026 State PA | 2026 Team Final 16U
After a solid showing the night before, Smith came up big versus Houston Hoops. He knocked down timely shots from deep and the mid-range to steady his team in the third. Down entering the fourth, Smith wouldn’t be denied. He forced his way to the cup for a tough and-one lay-up and hit his fourth triple of the game, going on to score 15 of his 21 points in the second half.
Darius Wabbington Darius Wabbington 6'10" | C Sunnyslope | 2027 State AZ | 2027 Arizona Unity 15U
Unity jumped out to a big lead early with help from Wabbington. His teammate found him trailing for a three, then he took a deflection coast-to-coast for a dunk. The work he did on the glass was just as critical as his event creation on defense. Wabbington’s 9 rebounds kept the ball away from Final and generated second-chance opportunities, two of which he capitalized on himself, finishing with 17 points.
