Kosi Nzeribe gave his team multiple second chance opportunities as he was on the offensive glass at a high rate against Arnold Elite 2029 Austin. Majority of the time he capitalized on easy points in the paint with his activity on the offensive glass. Defensively he disrupted opposing players layups and shots on the perimeter.

Christon Butler
Christon Butler showed his ability to take over the paint on both ends of the floor. Being one of the tallest players on the floor he grabbed multiple rebounds. Defensively he did a good job of contesting shots at the rim. Offensively he showed the ability to dribble down the floor using his size to shield defenders from stealing the ball from him. With him being at the free throw line on offense in the middle of the 2-3 defense, he capitalized on layups driving to the basket.

Kleo Aquino is definitely someone you don’t want to leave open on the perimeter as he confidently shoots from deep range knocking down a few against Nike Proskills San Antonio 2029 Black. Along with his ability to shoot from deep range, he excelled in transition by getting easy layups at the basket. His playmaking ability was impressive as well. Defensively he came up with some steals which started transition opportunities for his team.
Aiden Houston Aiden Houston 6’3″ | SG E.F. Green Middle School | 2028 TX has a good all-around game. Transition is where he excelled at in this game. What stood out to me while he was in transition was his unselfishness as he was willing to make an extra pass to his teammates for wide open shots. Also, he gets out in transition fast when his team gets a stop on defense as he was one of the first ones going to the other end of the floor for a possible transition bucket for himself. While thriving in transition he showed the ability to score all over the floor. During the game he came up with multiple rebounds as well.

Clem Burris Clem Burris 5’10” E.F.Green Middle School | 2028 TX is a quick guard that thrives at scoring all over the floor. What really impressed me was his aggressive takes to the rim especially in transition. Defensively he hustled for steals which gave his team multiple transition opportunities. I look forward to scouting him more while he is in high school.
