<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Day 2 of the Sunshine State Pre-Season Classic was loaded with talent, intensity, and prospects who made real impact across multiple games. Here are several players who stood out with their performances…</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3067875,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/11/PH-Joshua-Lowe-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/11/PH-Joshua-Lowe-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-3067875" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Joshua Lowe</strong> (6'3/SF/'28/Coral Springs HS) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: virall.josh</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @JL34_&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Joshua is a high-energy, high-effort guy who brought two-way impact to the floor. He could easily be looked upon as a blue-collar worker who is willing to do whatever it takes to win. He provided point production from behind the arc as well as off the bounce. He did not put up huge numbers, but his impact was felt with timely buckets, his ability to disrupt on the defensive end, and his activity on the glass. He is a young, hard-playing prospect to keep an eye on and monitor his growth, as he has some intriguing tools surrounding his game, and I would like to see what he can become over the next couple of years from staying in the lab.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3067876,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/11/PH-Ryan-Joseph-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/11/PH-Ryan-Joseph-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-3067876" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2638280' first='Ryan' last='Joseph']</strong> (6'0/PG/‘26/Palm Beach Central) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: FourFetti</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Rdeucee&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Ryan is a quick, aggressive lead guard who does a really good job getting to his spots where he can produce. He showed to be a reliable lead guard who did a good job initiating the offense and getting the ball to his scoring options. He is an unselfish floor general with good PG instincts and the understanding of how to play the position. His maturity was clearly seen as he never panicked, no matter how intense the moment, remaining composed and confident while making high-level decisions with the ball in his hands.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3067878,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/11/PH-Tai-Bell-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/11/PH-Tai-Bell-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-3067878" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2804109' first='Tai' last='Bell']</strong> (6'2/PG/‘28/Mater Lakes)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Taiboogieb</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Taiboogieb5</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Tai is listed as a point guard but effective at both guard spots, he came out aggressive, attacking downhill and putting early pressure on the defense. He is a tough-shot maker with the ability to score from all three levels, and he showed creativity when generating offense for others off the bounce. His ability to draw defenders and deliver accurate passes opened up clean looks for teammates. His value to Mater Lakes is clear as his absence due to cramps in the second half created a noticeable drop in rhythm. When on the floor, he is a dynamic piece who elevates his team on both ends of the floor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3067883,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/11/PH-Giuliani-Blaise-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/11/PH-Giuliani-Blaise-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-3067883" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2125481' first='Giuliani' last='Blaise']</strong> (6'6/F/'27/Chaminade-Madonna College Preparatory) </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Giuliani_blaise</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Giulianib09&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">It took Giuliani a half to settle in, but once he did, he showcased one of the most dominant scoring stretches of the day. His physicality, strength, and toughness make him extremely difficult to guard. He finished effectively around the rim, especially with his left hand, and displayed versatility scoring on the block, in face-up situations, and off the bounce. His midrange face-up game is particularly advanced for his age, and he has go-to moves that allow him to create clean looks. When he is locked in, he is a problem due to his combination of size, strength, and natural scoring feel.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3067888,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/11/PH-Kellson-Sandi-C.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/11/PH-Kellson-Sandi-C.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-3067888" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2294525' first='Kellson' last='Sandi']</strong> (6'1/SG/‘27/St. Thomas Aquinas)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Kellson has continued to improve over the years, and his confidence is at an all-time high, as he has settled into who he is as a player and is showing what he can do on and off the ball. He is primarily at the off-guard on his squad, which allows him to focus on being a top 3 or 4 scoring option. He gets quality perimeter looks, which he often converts, and he is also good at creating his own offense and creating offense for his teammates off the bounce. He has shot-making ability inside and outside of the arc, and his presence on the floor adds another potent scorer that teams have to be aware of.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":3067961,"sizeSlug":"medium","linkDestination":"media","align":"left"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image alignleft size-medium"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/11/PH-Kyler-KJ-Ambrose-C-1.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/11/PH-Kyler-KJ-Ambrose-C-1.png?w=300" alt="" class="wp-image-3067961" /></a></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Kyler 'KJ' Ambrose</strong> (5'9/CG/‘28/Cardinal Gibbons)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">IG: Kjambrose5</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">X: @Kjambrose24</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size">Kyler is a young, budding backcourt talent who can play on and off the ball without having to carry a heavy load for his team. With so much attention given to his older brother AJ, Kyler is able to operate most of the time in space and without help staring him down when he is looking to attack off the bounce. He scores well at all levels, but the strength of his scoring game is with his perimeter jumper, while he has the creativity off the bounce in setting up teammates for quality looks. He continues to improve his overall floor game every time I see him.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
