Khadir is a sophomore that's does not get talk about a lot in the DMV. But he consistently brings a defensive edge and intensity that sets him apart. With elite timing, length, and athleticism, he defends multiple positions and thrives in transition. Offensively, he's effective attacking from the wing, playing in space, and finishing above the rim. His motor and competitiveness make him one of the hardest-playing prospects on any court.     Elijah plays with a smooth/poise pace with the ball. The slick southpaw PG is a tough, scrappy floor general who thrives on controlling the tempo and setting the tone for his team. He consistently connects from three-point range, attacks off the bounce, and creates quality looks for his teammates. Defensively, he brings energy and pressure, using his quickness and anticipation to disrupt opponents and force turnovers at the point of attack.     Between his size, skill, and athleticism, he was able to cause matchup problems for various types of opponents throughout the two games I watched. Kyrei scored the ball with impressive efficiency from around the basket, showing the ability to anchor down low using length to rebound and block shots at a high rate. He displayed solid vision and a willingness to make the right play with the ball in his hands. Intriguing prospect that should garner College level schools in the future.     Hooks is a crafty guard who excels at finishing around the basket. At 6'2”, he uses creativity and touch to score in traffic, consistently finding ways to convert tough shots. Hooks also stands out in transition, where his pace, vision, and decision-making allow him to create easy opportunities for himself and his teammates. His smooth feel and ability to make plays at a high level make him an exciting prospect to watch.     Mansour continues to be a valuable piece on the court for Edison, showcasing versatility, a competitive nature, and being physical all over the court. He brings a good frame that he uses well to attack downhill, creating well for himself and embracing contact, but it his shooting that sets him apart. The young man can really light up the nets from the 3pt line. Mansour also bring such value in several areas of the floor. Mansour can guard multiple positions, rebounds the ball, can create off the bounce, or operate from an array of levels, as he showed throughout the CBG Finale.
