<p><strong>Chase Givens</strong>, [program_tooltip program_id='2078772' first='Team' last='Thad'] 16U: Givens is solid neutralizer. He plays with good pace and never does anything to jeopardize his team's chances of losing a game. He scored 10 points against AB Elite.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2194485' first='Joshua' last='Huggins'], [program_tooltip program_id='2078772' first='Team' last='Thad'] 15U: Huggins is really, really good. Against The Family, the 6-6 forward did whatever he wanted to do offensively. Huggins led his team with 25 points and 10 rebounds. He can push the basketball in transition, take his defender off the dribble and finish strong at the rim. Huggins has a high ceiling. He has a chance to be a great player.</p>

<p><strong>DJ Okoth</strong>, Alabama Fusion 15U: The 6-5 forward had 12 points and 7 rebounds in a win over the Utah Prospects. Okoth was active and alert on the defensive end, contesting shots at the rim. The Bartlett High product cashed in on his shots near the rim. Okoth is another prospect in the 2028 class with a high ceiling. In the win, he went 5 for 10 from the field.</p>
