<p class="text-gray-700">Lee wasted no time making his presence felt at The Expo. A shifty scorer with the ability to get wherever he wants on the floor, Lee thrives at putting pressure on defenses. He pushed the tempo in transition, beating defenders down the court for easy buckets, and showed patience in the halfcourt by making strong reads in traffic. His footwork when attacking the basket stood out, allowing him to finish through tight windows and keep defenders off balance. Lee's blend of speed, creativity, and scoring instincts made him one of the most consistent guard threats of the showcase.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Morrell brought heart and poise to the Expo with his ability to orchestrate an offense and make plays under pressure. He consistently threaded passes through traffic, finding teammates in tight spaces with precision. But he wasn't just a passer, Morrell showed deep shooting range, stretching defenses well beyond the arc. Coupled with a tight handle and the confidence to create off the dribble, he looked like the kind of guard who can control a game on both ends of the floor.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">One of the most impressive performers of the entire event, Janov showcased a scorer's mentality that was impossible to ignore. Every time he rose to shoot, it felt like the ball was destined to drop. Whether it was pulling up out of the pick-and-roll or spotting up from deep, he scored with efficiency and swagger. His ability to put points on the board in a hurry demanded defensive attention, often forcing opponents to send multiple defenders his way. Janov's unlimited confidence and pure shot-making made him a standout among guards.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Morris made his mark as a two-way guard who never stopped competing. Offensively, he elevated over defenders with good lift on his jumper, knocking down shots off the dribble and off balanced. Defensively, he hustled on every possession, contesting shots and flying to the glass to grab offensive boards. Those effort plays often gave his team extra possessions, and his willingness to do the dirty work alongside his scoring ability made him one of the most valuable guards on the floor.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Raymond proved himself as a go-to scorer whenever his team needed a bucket. With the confidence to pull up from deep and the vision to dish out to open teammates, he kept defenses guessing all game long. His ability to shoot off the dribble made him dangerous in isolation, and his calm poise with the ball in his hands stood out in pressure situations. Raymond's combination of scoring touch and playmaking instincts gave him the look of a complete offensive weapon at the Expo.</p>
