<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The All-Tournament First Team was stacked with talent, led by a group of players who each brought something unique to the floor. Selmon's do-it-all skill set, combining size, quickness, and shot creation, made him a clear standout. [player_tooltip player_id='2832690' first='Nate' last='Jones'] brought relentless energy and passion, finishing through contact, throwing down emphatic dunks, and even knocking down jumpers when needed. Jay Richardson gave JEB ELITE a consistent boost on the wing, using his athleticism and transition play to generate easy buckets. [player_tooltip player_id='2831207' first='Kyeston' last='Martin'] impressed with his high IQ and court awareness, always playing a step ahead and making the right decisions on both ends. Rounding out the group, [player_tooltip player_id='2399339' first='Isaiah' last='Nelson'] brought toughness and efficiency, finishing strong through contact and taking care of the ball under pressure.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2393670"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67f4938f3d77e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Selmon's do-it-all skill set made him a no-brainer first-team selection. At 6'3” and 215 pounds, he brought a rare blend of power and finesse that few could match. His explosive first step gave him an edge off the dribble, while his tight ball handling and ability to create his own shot consistently kept defenders guessing.<br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2832690"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67f4938f3d7d5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2832690' first='Nate' last='Jones'] showed exactly why he's built different every time he stepped on the court.
