He rebounded really well too, staying physical when fighting for the ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#17 - <strong>Aiquari Emmanuel</strong> <strong>Johnson</strong> - 2026 - Franklin Pierce HS - Aiquari was one of my favorite players from the camp. He was electric on the offensive side, getting to the bucket smoothly and hitting mid-range shots with ease. His handles are great, as he is shifty with the ball in his hands and creates room to get his shot off.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#22 -<strong> [player_tooltip player_id='2548244' first='Blake' last='Roberts'] </strong>- 2027 - Mount Si HS - Blake is a high IQ guard who knows his strengths on the court.

He knows how to adjust his style of play to what the team needs. He scores the ball well, staying patient when attacking it and confidently knocking down threes when left open. He kept his head up at all times, knowing what he is going to do with the ball before he gets it. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#43 - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2569413' first='Noah' last='Willard']</strong> - 2026 - West Valley HS - Noah is a fantastic offensive player, knocking down threes all day while being able to stay on his toes to get down hill and finish at the bucket too. Willard has a high IQ too, finding open teammates easily. During 5v5 play, he caught fire and knocked down many threes, contested or not. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#54 - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2726701' first='Hakeen' last='Collins'] </strong>- 2026 - Frankin Pierce HS - Hakeen is poised for a big senior season. He has a strong upper body, finishing well at the rim and staying under control. He ran the court in transition really well, throwing down dunks when left open in transition.

He is a fundamental guard who plays off two feet and knows his next move before doing it. He is strong with the ball, not turning it over often and getting his teammates involved with ease. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>#72 - <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2380117' first='Chayce' last='Waite-Kellar']</strong> - 2026 - Lummi Nation - Chayce was dominant down low the entire camp, showcasing his strength and ability to play through contact. He stayed physical in the paint and on the boards, being a difference maker by the bucket.
