On one shot Jordan drifted a little mid-air, and the shot missed. He typically rose up very straight up. Perhaps this was a one-off.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2566799' first='Landon' last='Lester']</strong> / Columbia Academy / 2028<br>Was susceptible to the drive when defending. The speed of play was challenging for Landon during five-on-five.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2610406' first='Israel' last='Rosales']</strong> / Centennial / 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2610382' first='Adam' last='Cox']</strong> / Jo Byrns / 2026<br>Used his butt very well. Strong kid. Adam was the most refined big in the building and the second most dominant big to [player_tooltip player_id='2610426' first='Trey' last='Guthrie'].</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2610404' first='Hollis' last='Jackson']</strong> / Central Magnet / 2027</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2610424' first='Tahj' last='Davie']</strong> / Clarksville Academy / 2026<br>Positionless. Good shooting touch. Handle is spotty. Athletically, Tahj is a college prospect. It will be interesting to see how he develops his skills.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2479971' first='Chris' last='Small'] </strong>/ Cleveland / 2028<br>He did not see the entirety of the situation in a 2-on-3 fastbreak. He had two players trailing that could have scored it, or at least earned a higher-percentage shot</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
