Sedric Holt, Jr. (5’10/SF/’30/NYBA)
IG: Juniorbucketgetter_
Sedric is a young, hard-playing talent who brings a lot of energy and effort to the floor. He is a workhorse who makes winning plays on both ends of the floor. He is aggressive off the bounce in both the half-court and in transition. He is a strong downhill attacking ball-handler who finishes well at the rim. His motor is one thing that really stood out overall.
Sa’Veion Wilfors (5’6/SG/’30/US Elite)
Sa’Veion is a small guard who handles the ball well and does a good job getting to the cup. Although he is listed as a shooting guard, he was really effective in initiating the offense and creating scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates. He functions as a triple-threat player who contributes as a shooter, passer, and driver.
Malik Hardin, Jr. (6’2/PF|C/’30/NYBA)
IG: malik.getbxckets
Malik has good size for his age and scored at a high rate on the interior. For most parts, he was just too big for opponents, which enabled him to dominate on both ends of the floor and on the glass. Defensively, he did a good job being a rim deterrent. He still has to work on his timing as a shot blocker, as he missed timed his jump on several occasions. My advice for Malik and his circle is to make sure he does not get stuck in the post. He is having success now, but working on expanding his game onto the perimeter is vital.
Eric Blount, Jr. (4’9/PG/’30/ Team Thad )
IG: ericblountjr
Eric is a small guard but can really handle the rock. With his low center of gravity, he is already winning the shoulders game, which helps him to win many of his one-on-one matches. He is a playmaker who gets his teammates involved with his ability to collapse the defense with his dribble penetration and then find open teammates. EJ has very little problems getting where he wants to on the court, and when he gets to his spots, he makes good decisions with the rock. He can knock down the open trey, and he shoots it with a lot of confidence.
Kcyn Hughes (5’0/CG/’30/ Team Thad )
IG: Kcyn_2smooth
Kcyn is a small guard who plays on and off the ball but was the most effective when orchestrating the offense. He does a good job at balancing scoring and facilitating. His court vision and awareness are developing, and as he continues to work on his game, he will develop a greater feel and understanding of running the show at the lead guard spot. He shot the ball really well from behind the arc in the game I watched him play, and he made the defense make adjustments to defending him around the perimeter.
Braden Telman (5’10/SG/’30/Taft Elite)
IG: hannahtelman
X: @Blessedtaft
Braden is a skilled backcourt talent with good positional size for his grade. He is a young, gifted scorer off the bounce with touch around the rim. He is a crafty finisher, which really helped his game to stand out. He is not the quickest player but understands how to utilize his length and skill set to create his offensive production. Braden is tricky to contain due to his knack for changing his rhythm when attacking off the bounce. He has a good foundation to build upon, and if he stays in the lab, we will definitely be mentioning his name again in the future.
