<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2345556' first='Daniel' last='Patton'] is a skilled high-post facilitator who sparked offense early in possessions by forcing defensive rotations. Patton consistently extended plays with his effort on the glass, high-pointing rebounds and creating second-chance opportunities. A glue-guy frontcourt presence with playmaking instincts.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Jose Martins proved to be a dangerous facilitator and shot-maker throughout the event. The lefty three-point marksman made his presence felt early from beyond the arc, showing multiple scoring methods ranging from pindown catch-and-shoots to spot-up opportunities, all with rhythm and balance. Off the dribble, he created separation with his killer stepback jumper. He displayed fluid speed and burst with the ball, particularly in transition where he blew by defenders along the sideline, as well as in the halfcourt where he consistently generated paint touches for floaters or kick-outs. As a passer, Martins showed gifted vision and precision, firing left-handed lasers on a straight line and delivering accurate jump-passes after collapsing defenses. His ability to control tempo and orchestrate while keeping teammates involved makes him a high-level lead guard prospect.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Explosive, versatile offensive threat with a breakout showing. Diouf displayed the ability to create off the dribble with face-up moves and triple-threat footwork, showing balance and creativity when pivoting to score or drive. A fluid pick-and-roll player who thrived as a roll man, finisher, or straight-line driver. His explosive first step and powerful lower-body load made him nearly unstoppable when attacking. Diouf lived above the rim, playing with aggression and energy, whether flushing dunks in the halfcourt, sprinting lanes in transition, or finishing lob plays. His athleticism, run-jump explosiveness, and resulted in poster dunks all day. One of the event's premier breakout prospects.</p>

Defensively, he put his athleticism on display with relentless effort, often chasing down plays to block shots at the rim or erase transition opportunities. His defensive activity and nonstop motor made him one of the toughest covers of the event.</p>

Landon Northcutt showcased toughness and effort, hustling for 50/50 balls with urgency and consistently beating opponents to loose rebounds.
