<p class="text-gray-700">6'2" guard [player_tooltip player_id='1686289' first='Peyton' last='Parker'] ('27) of [program_tooltip program_id='2076957' first='Louisiana' last='Elite'] Pro16 16U is a player you won't want to miss. He's a poised floor general with a high basketball IQ, bringing a mature, tough, and efficient offensive game. Parker excels at controlling the tempo, hitting shots, and locking down opponents. But what makes him truly special is his electrifying style of play. He's a dynamic scorer who demands a double team, making him virtually unguardable one-on-one.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1543684' first='Autrail' last='Manning'] ('26), a 6'2" guard for Cooz Elite Pro16 17U, is a fearless and physical player. Known for his relentless energy, defensive toughness, and ability to create off the dribble, he sets the tone on both ends of the court. Add to that an elite ability to score from all three levels, and you have a truly special player. Considered the most complete player in the 2026 class, Manning is ranked #2 and would be a perfect fit for any program in the country.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Keshun Malcolm ('27), a 6'5" guard for [program_tooltip program_id='2076957' first='Louisiana' last='Elite'] Pro16 16U, is a long, smooth player with excellent size, fluid athleticism, and elite offensive arsenal. This high-upside two-way guard impacts the game on both ends of the floor. His long arms allow him to disrupt passing lanes and create extra possessions, while his increased wingspan makes him a force on the boards. A fluid scorer with a point guard skillset, his recent growth spurt (from 6'2" to 6'5") makes him a lethal combination of scorer and facilitator. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2132749' first='Jaiden' last='Hall'] ('27), a 6'1" guard for [program_tooltip program_id='2076957' first='Louisiana' last='Elite'] Pro16 16U, is a confident and competitive player with poise beyond his years. He combines a quick first step, an aggressive downhill attack, and tenacious defense. Hall has the makings of a true floor general with high-level scoring ability. Coaches seeking a high-IQ point guard who can knock down shots and lock down opponents need to take a serious look at Hall. He's already generating buzz in college coaching circles and will surely play at the next level. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1543647' first='Cooper' last='Nelson'] ('26) of [program_tooltip program_id='2076374' first='OWE' last=''] has been on a tear this summer, winning over fans and supporters with his dynamic play. He erupted for 22 points in a statement win on Day 1 of the GASO Summer Championship. Nelson is an elite long-distance shooter, capable of hitting from anywhere on the court. He's crafty with the ball, making the game easier for his teammates by setting them up to showcase their strengths. Strong and able to play through contact, Nelson excels on and off the court. He's coachable, a great teammate, and boasts Ivy League-level academics.</p>
