FEAAC Showcase- Other noteworthy names to know.

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>FEAAC organized a Fall showcase that highlighted some top talent. Through a blend of live-action drills and 5-on-5 gameplay, players had numerous opportunities to demonstrate their skills in front of scouts. Below is a list of additional players who stood out and are worth keeping an eye on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>**Bryson Jatta, 6'2", 2028, Hillgrove High School** - Jatta displayed strong defensive IQ and great technique, effectively cutting off angles, trapping at appropriate times, and using good hands in help defense to close gaps. While his offensive touches were limited, his overall activity and decision-making were solid.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>**[player_tooltip player_id='2929105' first='Kalib' last='Gray'], 6'2", 2028, Central Florida Christian Academy** - Gray is a proficient rhythm shooter off the catch. Although he lagged behind during initial transition breaks, he consistently positioned himself for trail passes, allowing him to step right into secondary break transition threes.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>**[player_tooltip player_id='2195022' first='Jaiden' last='Martin'], 5'9", 2028, Winthorp College Prep Academy** - Martin remains a scoring threat from anywhere on the floor and can score in bunches. He played mostly off the ball and worked to create scoring opportunities through actions like Iverson cuts and down screens, demonstrating solid shot selection.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>**[player_tooltip player_id='2954275' first='Michael' last='Sams III'], 5'9", 2029, Mckeel Academy of Technology** - Sams managed to score a few buckets but excelled as a facilitator, looking to score only when necessary. Given the number of players seeking to score and the numerous transition opportunities, his willingness to facilitate instead of forcing his own offense is a trait that will earn him playing time at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>**Aiden Allaire, 6'5", 2028, Alexander High School** - Allaire is a young, athletic forward with solid size, and his intangibles will always draw attention. In a showcase where opportunities may be limited due to playing style and teammates, Allaire managed to play above the rim during drills and showcased his finishing ability around the basket, also rebounding effectively. He is young and developing, with potential to become a solid next-level prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>**Aiden Aponte, 6'3", 2027, The Wilson Academy** - Aponte was one of the best long-range shooters in the gym, shooting the ball at a high percentage. He actively sought open space and kept himself in catch-and-shoot positions by moving along the 3-point arc and from baseline to baseline, avoiding stagnation.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>**Jazyere Thompson, 6'4", 2027, Southern Maryland Christian Academy** - Thompson experienced some ups and downs during the showcase. From an efficiency standpoint in 5-on-5 games, he struggled initially, taking good shots but not getting them to drop. Despite his frustration with scoring, he effectively communicated and anchored the defense, applying pressure on ball handlers, getting into the mix with other players, and competing well as a solid ball handler.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
