has been one of the best bucket getters at the Nike E16 sessions, emerging as one of the top leading scorers thus far. He possesses an extreme amount of potential as a pure scorer, showcasing remarkable shot-creation skills off the dribble. Capable of getting space and separation behind a combination of crossovers, stepbacks, spin moves, and also great at utilizing a swing step through traffic. Gibson proved to be a tough shot maker even when contested. His mid-range game was where he was most dangerous, as he quickly squared up his defender. When receiving a pass, Gibson instinctively used his body to shield the defender, preventing an effective contest against the catch. His reverse pivot allowed him to create strong angles for attacking the basket or pulling up. As a go-to player, Gibson consistently delivered points whenever they were needed in any situation.
6-foot-6 shooting marksman, Jayden Buchunam Jayden Buchunam 6’6″ | SG Austin St. Andrew’s Episcopal | 2026 State TX , changed the game as a 3-and-D player. He was on fire knocking down spot-up three-pointers from anywhere beyond the arc. His deadly left-handed stroke, quick release, and relentless off-ball movement made him a threat even without much space. On the other side of the ball, Jayden’s defensive awareness made it easy for him to anticipate plays and disrupt offenses as an off-ball defender, stopping penetration on the help side and picking up steals in the passing lanes.

showed that he can run the floor with the best of them, particularly as a rim runner. He was always trailing the ball handler, waiting for the pass or cleaning up the mess with putback dunks. Rico truly excelled as an offensive rebounder, his knack for creating second-chance shots proved to be problematic for opposing defenses as he shed box-outs and used his length masterfully. Lastly, Mateo displays a raw skillset with a lot of untapped potential.
