2025 Freshman Showcase: Team 2 Evaluations

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the PrepHoops Washington Freshman Showcase taking place last weekend in Auburn, we saw a lot of new faces showcase a little of what they can do on the court. Here is Team 2. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#87 - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2935312' first='Anthony' last='Williams'] Jr </strong>- Eastside Catholic HS - *Pictured* - Anthony was consistently dominating all day at the showcase. He came out right away during warm-up drills with monstrous dunks and only kept the dominant play-style going from there. He was tough to guard during 3on3 play due to him being able to play 1on1 ball and break down defenders with his dribble and strength. During 5on5 play, he did a great job at spacing the floor and hitting shots. He ran the court in transition smoothly for more big time dunks. Another top 2029 in the entire state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#347 -<strong> Murray Brightbill </strong>- Issaquah HS - Murray is a lengthy wing/post player who leaves it all out on the court. He plays aggressive, going for rebounds every possession. He finishes over defenders in the paint but can extend his range beyond the three point line and knock down shots from there. During 3on3 play he was able to utilize his size by getting mismatched and dominating the paint. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#830 - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2951659' first='Grayson' last='Borden']</strong> - Sumner HS - Grayson is a player who makes quick decisions on the court and knows what he is going to do next with the ball before he even gets it. Borden has a great first step, being able to blow by defenders in the 3on3 games during the showcase. His facilitating ability stood out during 5v5 gameplay. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#831 - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2948893' first='Kyrie' last='Hamilton'] </strong>- Skyview HS - Kyrie is a true point guard who has exceptional feel for the game. He reads defenses quickly and stays patient with the ball in his hands. He finds open teammates by always having his head up when attacking down-hill. Hamilton is a tough defender, staying in front of opposing players using his quick instincts. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#833 -<strong> [player_tooltip player_id='2933037' first='Brayden' last='Aguedan'] -</strong> Mount Si HS - Brayden is a quick guard who is going to fit perfectly in the Mount Si system. He plays hard-nosed defense, being able to stay in front of defenders and cause havoc. He finishes at the rim nicely, adjusting smoothly through contact. His 5on5 play stood out most, with his ability to make plays happen for himself and his teammates while bringing energy to the defensive side too. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#894 - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2627880' first='Jrayden' last='Whitfield']</strong> - West Valley HS - Jrayden was a standout from the camp, being a player who showcased their ability to score from all 3 levels and adjust to how the defense is playing. He attacks the paint well, being able to get deep into the paint while playing off 2 feet. He can stop on a dime and knock down mid-range shots nicely and can get hot from deep. He's a top 2029 in the state and proved it over the weekend during the entire showcase.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#879 - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2955463' first='Jameson' last='Born']</strong> - N/A HS - Jameson was a late sign up so I am unaware as of now which HS he will be attending. He was a standout from the camp, being able to create space well while staying under control. He has a high IQ and uses it well with the ball in his hands. He's one to keep an eye on. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
