<p class="text-gray-700">Younger plays like every rep matters, sprinting back in transition, and talking on both ends. Offensively, he's a developing combo guard who's starting to find his rhythm as a creator. The motor is already there, so the next step is deciding to match the tempo he plays with.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Ruiz stood out with his relentless energy and defensive effort. He showed confidence on drives, and his understanding of cuts gives him value without the ball. As the jumper refines and his reads sharpen, he projects as a high-energy glue guy with an upward trajectory.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Shelton brings a <em>long, active frame</em> and plays with a chip on his shoulder, chasing rebounds outside his area and contesting shots with intensity. Offensively, he's raw but aggressive, showing flashes as a straight-line driver and reliable spot-up threat. With continued skill work, his motor and frame give him real upside as a slashing wing.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Kam is wired to compete—fighting through screens, scrapping for 50/50 balls, and playing calmly in transition. He understood when to balance scoring and facilitating, especially when he saw options downhill. If he continues to build consistency from range and reads out of pick-and-rolls, he will be a versatile combo guard.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Gates brings toughness to the court, guarding with effort and pushing pace with the ball in his hands. His court vision is developing, and you can see the unselfishness in how he plays. As he grows more vocal and refines his scoring craft, his two-way competitiveness gives him long-term potential at the guard spot.</p>
