<p>A 5-10 off-ball guard, Decena has given the Big Reds a reliable third scoring option early in his career. He shoots it well from the 3-point line, especially off the catch, and has shown some secondary playmaking ability off the dribble. He's a solid defender with a knack for jumping passing lanes and turning defense into offense. He's putting up 11.9 points and 4.2 rebounds a game.</p>

<p>A 6-4 big man, Fandeh has been really good on the glass for the Huskies, giving them some needed size and toughness in the paint. He's averaging 9.0 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game, leading the team in the latter two categories. </p>

<p>Stephens has the potential to be one of the top players in the 2028 class with his combination of size, length, athleticism, handles, and vision on the wing. He's coming off the bench to provide a bit of a scoring and playmaking spark for the Go-Hawks, averaging 6.5 points and 2.3 assists per game.</p>

<p>Helling is a good shooter from 3-point range, moving well without the ball in his hands and he has a quick release off the catch. He has helped provide some floor spacing for the Panthers while also showing that he can handle it a little bit and create plays for his teammates. </p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The coach's son is a high IQ guard who does a nice job initiating offense for the Warriors. He can score from all three levels, get his teammates involved, and he isn't afraid to stick his nose in on the glass against bigger bodies. He's averaging 7.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.4 assists per game on 50% shooting, largely coming off the bench.</p>
