<p>The Expo is fast approaching, and with it comes a stage built for the state's top talent to prove exactly why they belong among the best. This is a chance to go head to head with elite competition, showcase the work put in over the summer, and elevate their game to an entirely new level. For some it could be the moment that solidifies their status. For others it's the breakout performance that puts their name on the map. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Paine is drawing attention for good reason, he combines smooth handles, a threatening step back, and the ability to make plays in the lane. His offensive toolkit keeps defenders off balance and opens up opportunities for himself and teammates. At The Expo showing off his shot creation, quickness in the paint, and ability to stretch the defense will validate the hype. If he continues to mix scoring with playmaking and court awareness, he's the kind of player who can leave a lasting impression on both scouts and coaches</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Burton turns heads with his shifty movement, strong handles, and ability to attack the basket with confidence. He can create his own shot, break down defenses, and consistently put points on the board. The Expo is a chance to showcase his full offensive package, whether it's weaving through traffic, finishing at the rim, or pulling up from distance. His combination of quickness, scoring ability, and playmaking makes him a dynamic threat, and scouts will want to see how he controls the game against top level competition</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Brunton had a summer that generated buzz for good reason. He stretches the floor with his three point shooting, plays tough defense, and can score from anywhere on the court. Inside he uses his strength to establish position and finish through contact, making him a reliable scoring threat in the paint. At The Expo he deserves to show off his complete offensive and defensive skill set. He thrives while knocking down shots from deep, creating mismatches and dominating down low. His versatility, toughness, and ability to impact the game on both ends make him a player scouts will be excited to watch</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Jones is earning serious hype because he impacts the game in every phase on both ends of the floor. He can shoot from distance, lock in defensively, push the pace in transition, and make smart plays with excellent court vision and passing ability. The Expo would be the coming out party he deserves to show off his all around skill set. The chance to shine by creating opportunities for teammates, scoring in multiple ways, or making key stops. His versatility and high basketball IQ make him a player who can control the flow of a game, and scouts will be eager to see how he elevates his play against top competition</p>
