<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">As I look back over January, there was so much talent at the #FLDreamMLK showcase, and in this article, I am going to show some love to the guys coming off the bench who made an impact…</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2761067,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/02/PH-Gabriel-Coupet-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/02/PH-Gabriel-Coupet-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2761067" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Gabriel Coupet</strong> (5'11/CG/'28/North Broward Prepatory School) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: gabriel.coupet</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @GabrielCoupet&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Gabriel is a young backcourt talent who played with confidence and brought infectious energy off the bench. He showcased his multi-level scoring ability but was at his best attacking the rim, using his craftiness to finish in traffic against length. He is very comfortable being a playmaker off the bounce and showed a game with a lot of potential.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2761076,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/02/PH-Nathan-Elijah-Earl-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/02/PH-Nathan-Elijah-Earl-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2761076" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Nathan Elijah Earl</strong> (6'2/PG/'26/North Tampa Christian School) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: nate2tufff</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @nathan_earl4</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Nathan came in off the bench and proved to be a solid backup PG. He isn't asked to do much as he is surrounded by some highly talented playmakers, and as long as he was able to control the pace of the game, limit turnovers, and make sure his squad got quality possessions, he fulfilled his role. He is a heady lead guard with a solid PG skillset.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2761079,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/02/PH-Marc-Vincent-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/02/PH-Marc-Vincent-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2761079" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Marc Vincent</strong> (6'1/CG/'25/South Plantation HS) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: _.justmarky</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Justmarky24</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Marc brought a lot of energy to the floor when he entered the game, and he made winning plays in the form of hustle plays. He provided multi-level scoring on offense and was a solid secondary ball-handler who made good decisions with the rock when it was in his hand. He is a relentless competitor who showed senior leadership in how hard he played on both ends of the floor.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2761086,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/02/PH-Nick-Mirabal-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/02/PH-Nick-Mirabal-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2761086" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Nick Mirabal</strong> (5'7/PG/'26/Chaminade Madonna Prep) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: _nickmirabal</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @nicky_mirabal&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Nick is a small PG coming off the bench and understands his role. He is the caliber player who is not going to hurt his team when he is out on the floor as he plays within himself and understands where the ball needs to go on every possession. He is a reliable backup and is really good at facilitating the offense.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2761094,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/02/PH-Andrae-Bridges-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/02/PH-Andrae-Bridges-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2761094" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Andrae Bridges</strong> (6'1/PF/'26/Miramar HS) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: drizzy_.drae</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @AndraeBridges</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Andrae was probably the most impactful player coming off the bench who I saw the entire showcase. He is a real hard-nosed defender who makes life hard for whoever he is defending. He is a relentless competitor who makes opponents work on both ends of the floor. He has a solid overall game and brings a consistent level of play on both ends of the floor. He showed that he can score from all levels. It wasn't a surprise that in one of the games I was watching, he started the 2nd half, as his presence on the floor was so valuable to his squad.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2761117,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/02/PH-Adler-Olweean-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/02/PH-Adler-Olweean-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2761117" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Adler Olweean</strong> (5'10/CG/'26/Fort Lauderdale HS) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @_adlerolweean</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Adler is a small lead guard coming off the bench who aggressively looked for his offense from the moment he stepped onto the floor. He is not a high-volume scorer, but his aggressiveness did cause the defense to make adjustments as he made plays off the bounce for his teammates. He impacts the game without scoring but did show his ability to knock down the trey ball.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":2761138,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/02/PH-Thomas-Cole-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/02/PH-Thomas-Cole-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-2761138" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Thomas Cole</strong> (6'0/PG/'25/McArther HS) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: thomascole.0</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @thomascole_</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Thomas was a spark off the bench as he looked to put pressure on the rim, and when he was attacking off the bounce, he showed his ability to distribute while on the move. He showed a mature floor game and had a really good understanding of time and situations. He shot the ball well from deep, keeping defenders off balance in how they had to choose to defend him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
