Carmel)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Johnson has taken his game to another level since the holidays.&nbsp; His breakout was at the Pekin Holiday Tournament where the guard stuffed the stat sheet in a game we saw dropping 12 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists, and 3 steals.&nbsp; Strong and athletic guard with positional size that can score with powerful downhill takes along with a nice looking jumper.&nbsp; Rebounds well for his position and is a more than adequate playmaker at a young age!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2886496' first='Travis' last='Jamison'] (Whitney Young)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jamison has stepped right into the Dolphins starting lineup as a freshman and been fantastic.&nbsp; The 6'4” combo guard can play both on and off the ball.&nbsp; Smooth handle creating off the dribble winning on straight line takes and gets to the line at a high rate.&nbsp; For Whitney Young he is being utilized as a sharp shooter playing off Clark as Jamison can really knock down shots from beyond the arc.&nbsp; Solid passing feel and has an insanely bright future!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2947687' first='Dakari' last='Nesbitt'] (Thornton)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nesbitt is a straight bucket getter for Thornton!&nbsp; He has stepped into the go to scorer role from the jump for his high school team.&nbsp; Smaller scoring lead guard that takes and makes difficult shots.&nbsp; Explosive burst with the ball in his hands maneuvering his body at the rim for scores.&nbsp; Changes gears well, can knock down shots, and is a flashy passer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2918205' first='Keiwon' last='Gulley'] (Bloom)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gulley is a strong guard with considerable quickness.&nbsp; Loves to get to the rack as he pushes the pace getting downhill.&nbsp; Gets out in transition going coast to coast and is a solid three point shooter.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2918202' first='Kaden' last='McClellan'] (Bloom)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McClellan is the other Bloom guard that has made a major impact right from the jump.&nbsp; The smaller and slender guard is at his best mixing it up between scoring and passing.&nbsp; Good feel for the game setting others up and getting them involved with his passing off live dribbles.&nbsp; Soft touch finishing game in the paint.&nbsp; Has the “it” factor!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2862587' first='Dajuan' last='Brown'] (Bradley Bourbonnais)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brown has been a consistent presence this season for Bradley Bourbonnais.&nbsp; He is a 6'1” scoring on ball guard.&nbsp; Well built frame and is a sniper from beyond the arc.&nbsp; Plays with toughness and competitiveness at a young age.&nbsp; Should continue to be the player this program builds around.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2369872' first='Cody' last='Rader'] (Geneva)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rader is playing a key role for a solid Geneva squad.&nbsp; When we have seen Geneva this year he was used as a spot up shooter from three while there is so much in his bag as a creative playmaker with a high basketball IQ.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
