<p>Here are a handful of notable prospects that stood out from Sunday's action:</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1560097' first='Kayin' last='Mitchell'], Team [program_tooltip program_id='2317252' first='Mookie' last='Betts'] 17U: Mitchell was very aggressive offensively in the team's win over USC Unleashed. He made key baskets in the contest. Mitchell looks the part heading into his senior season. His body frame is where it needs to be for the physicality he's going to endure for the rest of the AAU season. Mitchell is a good ball handler, high effort guy, and proven guard for a program that's placed him in a good situation to be successful.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1580073' first='BJ' last='Bradford'], Team [program_tooltip program_id='2317252' first='Mookie' last='Betts'] 17U: Bradford can really shoot it. He showed his range in the team's win over USC Unleashed. The 6-foot-0 guard made shots from the top of the key, in the short corner, and from 17-feet out. Bradford, who finished with 16 points, is really good at creating separation.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1575564' first='Kameron' last='Bowers'], Team [program_tooltip program_id='2317252' first='Mookie' last='Betts'] 17U: Bowers was solid on Sunday. He was patient on offense, allowing scoring opportunities to come to him. When the shot wasn't there, Bowers made the right reads to his open teammates. He's a shifty guard that can get downhill in transition. Bowers knows how to finish at the rim. He's a solid point guard in the 2026 class.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2376260' first='Davis' last='Cochran'], Brad Beal Elite 16U: The 6-7 wing can affect the game on both ends of the floor. In a win over All Ohio, Cochran recorded a double-double (10 points and 14 rebounds) in the 72-63 win. The Brad Beal Elite 16U team is currently 4-0. A strong outing in the next session (Kansas City, Missouri) will have the group in prime position to qualify for Peach Jam. Cochran will need to contribute for it to happen.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2133797' first='Bryson' last='Wade'], Brad Beal Elite 16U: Wade only had 6 points in the team's 70-65 win over Meanstreets, but he made two crucial defensive plays in the fourth quarter of a tight contest. The 6-1 guard recorded two steals that led to points for his team. Wade has been a disrupter on the defensive end so far throughout his high school career. What he did on Sunday has been seen before.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='1943896' first='Nickalai' last='Anderson'], Team [program_tooltip program_id='2317252' first='Mookie' last='Betts'] 17U: Anderson is a 6-7 wing that has range. He made big time 3s in the team's win over USC Unleashed. Anderson can't be left open. Whether he's in the corner, at the top of the key, or on one of the wings, Anderson is cashing in on a high percentage of shots when he gets great looks. He finished the contest with 8 points.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2291122' first='Dylan' last='Jones'], [program_tooltip program_id='2078772' first='Team' last='Thad'] 16U: The 6-5 wing had 32 points in a 78-48 win over UPlay. Jones converted on 12 of 18 shots and pulled down 7 rebounds. The Bartlett High product had a solid weekend that resulted in [program_tooltip program_id='2078772' first='Team' last='Thad'] 16U going 4-0.</p>
