<p class="has-medium-font-size">Jawan is a senior who competed this weekend and is still looking to garner attention that will help him find a path to the next level. He is a tough guard who is tough to contain off the bounce and showed a bag loaded with scoring tools. He handles the ball well, plays with pace, is really good at dancing with the rock, and attacking once he gets his defender off balance. The strength of his game was his ability to knife his way through traffic and get downhill. He is a tough shot taker, and he showed he can be a tough shot maker.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">Travion is a talented guard who plays on and off the ball. He proved a tough cover for most defenders, constantly putting pressure on the rim. He is crafty with the ball in his hands and also showed to be a crafty finisher at the rim. He scored well from all levels, which kept defenders trying to decide whether to play him for the drive or take away the three. His impact was clearly seen on both ends of the floor: he was productive on offense and a factor on defense with his on-ball pressure. </p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">Jayden is an inside presence who, despite being undersized, made significant impacts for his team throughout the weekend. He is a physical player who brings toughness on the interior, and his strength plays a major role in his ability to control territory and make other post players uncomfortable. He maneuvers well in the post to establish position, and as a result, he is really good, particularly on the offensive glass and scoring off put-backs. He was a dominant post player throughout the weekend despite his size. </p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">Henry was one of the prospects from this weekend with an intriguing upside. His size, motor, and athleticism stood out immediately, and his ability to impact the game on both ends of the floor was undeniable. He is quick off the floor, allowing him to challenge shots, dominate on the glass, and score well around the rim. He has the physical tools, and if he can add to this game and expand it out to the perimeter, he has some good years of basketball ahead of him. The question with Henry is simple: Is he willing to put in the work to become the player he has the potential to be?</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">Dalton is a wing who impacted the game with his motor, IQ, and ability to play the game the right way. There is nothing flashy about his game, as he is always in the right spot, understands the importance of ball movement and spacing, makes the extra pass, values the basketball, and understands what his team needs on each possession. There is a laundry list of things I could say about Dalton, as he really showed his understanding of the game and how to play. I know people use the coach-on-the-floor analogy a lot, but it is definitely true when it comes to Dalton. </p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">Darrien is a lead guard who played with confidence and quickness of the bounce and was really good at attacking the rim. He plays with energy and effort and is a spark for his team on the floor. He showed to be effective in pick-and-roll sets as both a scorer and distributor, as he makes quick reads and exploits defensive mismatches. He is a floor general who can run the offense or play off the ball, has strong PG instincts, and improves the team's offensive flow.</p>
