<p>LAS VEGAS — The Border League has quickly become a must-stop event for high school, prep school, scouts and media alike. The field is always loaded with Division I talent and draws a good mix of nationally recognized programs and more local teams for exposure to college coaches and NBA scouts. This year's field was stacked as usual and we bounced between Coronado and Silverado high schools to take in the action. Below we break down the best shooters we watched.</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Felipe Quinones | 2026 | Columbus (FL)</h4>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Smooth perimeter jump shooter whose ability to make threes and mid-range jumpers off the catch and off the bounce from multiple spots and ranges of the floor made him a tough cover. Balanced base with a fluid and quick release on his shooting mechanics. Capable ball handler and playmaker out of ball screen action. Allowed the game to come to him in our viewings and didn't force tough shots. Will be a valuable piece as a floor stretching shooting guard who can also serve as a primary ball handler when needed.</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Jasiah Jervis | 2026 | Archbishop Stepinac (NY)</h4>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>High level jump shooter with three-point consistency off the catch and mid-range consistency going left off the bounce. Textbook shooting mechanics with good balance, a strong base and the ability to get his shot off quickly without sacrificing any of his fundamentals. Best as a floor spacing catch-and-shoot guy but did show he can attack a closeout and get to the rim in straight-line drive situations. Showed a high IQ with his off-ball movement and shot selection.</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Kalek House | 2026 | AZ Compass</h4>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Among the best three-point shooters we watched in this event. Deep range and multiple spot consistency off the catch. Shot prep, balance and high release point allow him to be a shot maker in movement situations and his quick elevation and release limited the impact closeouts had on his shot. Possesses the ball skills to attack closeouts for paint touches and makes smart plays for teammates when defenses collapse.</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Parker Robinson | 2026 | RWE (OTE)</h4>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Elite three-point shooter with consistency both off the catch and off movement. Demonstrates excellent understanding of how to use screens, angles, and off-ball movement to free himself for clean looks. Possesses a college-ready frame with broad shoulders and vertical pop to finish plays athletically. Shows confidence and rhythm as a perimeter scorer who spaces the floor effectively. Competes with energy and attention to detail on both ends. Needs to continue refining his ball-handling and creation ability off the dribble to diversify his offensive impact.</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Pierce Thompson | 2027 | Harvard-Westlake</h4>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>For those who weren't aware of what Thompson brings to the floor, he was the biggest surprise of the main two gyms on the weekend. The 6-foot-3 shooting guard was a dead-eye perimeter shooter for Harvard-Westlake and his confidence as an off-catch and off-movement three-point shooter grew with each game he played. Thompson understands his strengths and role and plays to it well by taking the open looks when they come, spacing the floor and moving the ball to get a teammate a shot if he didn't have a clean look.</p>
