<p class="text-gray-700">Kory is a crafty, shifty guard who keeps defenders guessing with his unpredictable handle and quick changes of pace. He uses sharp crossovers, hesitations, and sudden bursts of speed to create separation, slipping through tight gaps with ease. Once he gets into the lane, he can finish in a variety of ways—whether it's a smooth floater over the bigs, an acrobatic reverse layup, or a strong finish through contact. His ability to read the defense and adjust mid-air makes him a constant scoring threat, and his creativity at the rim keeps opponents on their heels every possession.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Matthew is an explosive player who thrives when he gets downhill and into the paint, where his athleticism allows him to rise up and throw down emphatic dunks. He has a nose for attacking the rim with power, making him a constant threat in half-court sets. But where he's truly dangerous is in transition—Matthew loves to get out and run, using his speed to beat defenders down the floor and finish plays before the defense can set. His combination of strength, quickness, and finishing ability makes him a highlight waiting to happen whenever the game opens up.</p>
