Here's a look at the standouts who powered Texas Elite's strong start on Day 1 of The Finals.    [player_tooltip player_id='2859056' first='Logan' last='Henry'] set the tone immediately with an early bucket getting right off the tip, establishing his presence from the jump. He showed the ability to operate as the offensive orchestrator, initiating sets and creating advantages with precision. Henry also showed bursts of athleticism, off the bounce his first step was elite, often needing just a single dribble to get into his pull-up or explode off one foot for a smooth finish at the rim. Off the ball, he never stopped moving, sprinting lanes, cutting with purpose, and relocating along the perimeter for open looks. Defensively, Henry's instincts stood out well beyond his years. He anticipated actions, jumped passing lanes, generated on-ball steals, and forced turnovers with sheer awareness, determination, and the ability to rip the ball away in live-play situations.     Robinson made it a point to touch the paint on every attack, forcing the defense to collapse and consistently making the unselfish play. Gave up good shots for great looks, often off live-dribble kick-outs or drop-offs, acting as an extension of the coach on the floor. Everything he did raised the teammates better and elevated the collective execution.     Holden Ericson stood out as a lefty jumpshooter who made his presence felt beyond the arc with a natural shooting rhythm and catch and shoot prowess. His quick setup and compact mechanics allowed him to get shots off with minimal space, making him a constant threat when spotting up. Whether stationed in the corner, lifting to the wing, or relocating off the ball, his perimeter prowess demanded attention and created valuable offensive spacing.     Cooper Parriette A relentless competitor who pursued 50/50 balls and rebounds with an almost possessive mindset, attacking each loose ball as if it were rightfully his. Great hustler with a motor to match. As soon as a shoot went up, he wasted no time throwing his weight into the closet man, attacking the boards with purpose often hitting the outlet for the transition opportunity. His motor never wavered, and his determination to win every hustle play set the tone for his team, turning what looked like dead possessions into momentum-shifting opportunities.     An active defender whose motor, hands, and feet were constant disruptors. Kofi shut down ball-handlers with lateral agility, active stabs at the ball, and quick recovery. Offensively, he was a fluid athlete with blow-by speed and sharp first-step acceleration, exploding into cuts and straight-line drives to put pressure on the defense.     Ivan Falcon caught my attention as a crafty finisher around the rim, blending patience, hangtime, and soft touch to convert high-difficulty shots in traffic or through contact. He excelled along the baseline, using methodical footwork, well-timed head fakes, and subtle changes in pace to create angles for finishes.
