<p class="text-gray-700">What immediately stands out about Tykie Butler's game is his explosive first step. That sets everything up, from his ability to drive to his mid-range game. He's a true point guard with excellent court vision and unselfish nature. Defensively, Butler is just as impactful. He causes plenty of turnovers and turns them into transition points. During the AAU season, Butler has continued to elevate his game, and he is primed for a breakout season this winter for the Bulldogs.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1549999' first='Nando' last='Mirarchi'] combines a smooth shooting stroke with deep range. That said, he is much more than a shooter. Mirarchi is a true point guard who knows how to run an offense. His vision on the floor is exceptional, and he demonstrates a keen ability to distribute the ball, knowing exactly when to pass and when to take the shot himself. His ball-handling is sharp and he has worked diligently on his midrange game and developed a potent pull-up jumper. Mirarch's elite touch around the rim and fearlessness driving against larger defenders makes him a tough matchup.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">JT Delsandro is a lights-out shooter, especially when his feet are set. He also shows quickness in transition and finishes well with either hand. Delsandro's vision and passing skills set him apart. His unselfishness and excellent ball handling help him control the pace of the game. Delsandro is a true team player. He shows plenty of toughness and fearlessness on the court and is not afraid to mix it up with bigger opponents. His strong work ethic is evident in the effort he's been putting in over the summer to continue improving his game.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Avery Collins is looking to build on his highly successful high school and AAU season. His smooth shooting stroke and excellent ball-handling skills make him a constant threat, both off the dribble and from beyond the arc. Collins boasts an outstanding pull-up jumper and can also take it all the way to the rim. During the AAU season, Collins has continued to elevate his game. He is primed for a huge high school season, and he should be getting more and more interest from college coaches over the next few months.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Noah Farrell made this list because he is one of the best defenders I've seen. He brings a multi-sport athleticism to the basketball court, which translates into his relentless energy and physicality on both ends of the floor. He is an absolute defensive standout and backs down to nobody. That said, he also excels in transition situations and can score when needed. I expect him to be more of a scorer for Dubois during the upcoming high school season.</p>
