<p class="text-gray-700">Man-child size and strength paired with elite athleticism made Eli Bell a physical force of nature on both sides of the floor. He was phenomenal off two feet, jump-stopping his way into the lane with purpose. His footwork was high level, giving him a reliable scoring package once he got to his spots, utilizing either foot with elite pivots, step-throughs, head fakes, and well-timed bumps to create separation. His turnaround mid-range fadeaway was nearly automatic, staying compact, balanced, and controlled on every pull-up. On the glass, Bell had an elite box-out presence, completely removing his man from the play before exploding off the floor to snatch rebounds off the rim before anyone else had a chance.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Kaleb Allen set the tone early, scoring the first 8 of his team's 10 points by exploding through the lane with powerful 1-2 stride steps. His lift was impressive, getting so high on finishes that dunks felt imminent. Anytime he looked to get downhill, there was no hesitation, Allen created angles decisively and attacked the rim with aggression, putting constant pressure on defenses.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">High-motor prospect who brought relentless defensive intensity. Strat Butler's communication and court awareness stood out immediately, as he consistently anticipated the next pass or dribble with perfect timing. An absolute dog defensively, his lateral footwork allowed him to beat guards to their point of attack while shrinking the floor and eliminating space. Anytime his man put the ball on the deck, a steal felt imminent. His impact extended beyond defense as well, crashing the offensive glass and extending possessions through pure effort, toughness, and determination.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">High-arching three-point sniper who stretched the floor the moment he crossed half court. Every time Dorien Elam let one fly from deep, the entire gym expected it to drop. No matter the spot beyond the arc, he was a true catch-and-shoot threat, showing zero hesitation and complete confidence. Already shooting comfortably from college range, Elam played with poise and balance, making defenses pay the instant they helped or went under.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">A competitive point guard who ran the show as a true floor general. [player_tooltip player_id='2864612' first='Jayden' last='Aleman'] showed quality decision-making off the dribble, never rushing his actions and always playing with control. He probed the defense patiently, found pockets of space, and knew when to retreat, reset, or deliver the right pass. His command of tempo allowed the offense to stay organized while consistently generating good looks.</p>
