<p class="text-gray-700">One of the newest ranked prospects, NJ Nganga, showed no trouble shooting over the defense even with a hand in his face. His length and high release make him a shot-making threat from the elbow and pinch post. NJ displayed effortless bounce on his first, second, and third jump, proving he can leap with the best of them whether he's dunking, snatching a rebound, contesting, or high-pointing a pass in the air.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1225322' first='Sebastian' last='Williams-Adams'] is arguably the most versatile player in the state, if not the country, excelling at the highest levels in any position on the floor. He can drive to the rack at will, barreling down the lane like a freight train with excellent ball placement, keeping it low and out of defenders' reach. Williams-Adams had moments where he completely took over the game, especially in the second half when his team was down, doing everything possible offensively to fight back. His passing ability was equally impressive, threading the needle with zip passes that often surprised his teammates. Sebastian was by far the most skilled forward in the showcase, displaying very few limitations to his game. An impeccable prospect, he possesses all the physical tools and skills needed to become a professional basketball player.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1778907' first='Carson' last='Countryman'], at 6'7”, served as a defensive anchor, manning the backcourt with his motor, physicality, and length. He swiftly transitioned from boxing out as the shot went up to contesting the opposing rebounder on the opposite side of the block, displaying his determination and pride in his defensive role.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Senior, [player_tooltip player_id='2233711' first='Brennen' last='Byrd'], stood out as more of a power forward, showing the potential to develop into a hybrid 6'7” forward. He showed a strong presence on the boards, consistently grabbing rebounds. Byrd also had no issue putting the ball on the deck, with his ball-handling standing out in transition. He confidently took off and led the break to initiate the offense or used his force to attack downhill. His passing instincts and abilities were also evident as he actively involved teammates in the offense with drive-and-kick passes.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2473020' first='Bennett' last='Peters'] displayed impeccable timing when blocking shots, effectively shutting down the paint even against some of the top-ranked forwards in the state. With good defensive intangibles, his patience allows him to contest shots effectively without compromising his defensive position. He proved to be reliable in providing help defense, often coming over to contest shots or deter drives when his teammates were beaten. In one game, he picked up three blocks early in the first half, forcing his opponent to settle for short jumpers and fadeaways instead of coming fully inside.</p>
