<p class="text-gray-700"> [player_tooltip player_id='2414908' first='Ja'Dell' last='Demery'] is an undeniable offensive force in the paint with an unmatched motor. His game is all bully and intensity. He easily controls the paint against taller opposition by outworking the competition. He is one of the brightest talents in the state with a lot more basketball left in him. Coaches looking for a high motor player with all of the intangibles will enjoy being in the gym with Demery.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1679406' first='Antonio' last='Dixon'] is one of the most interesting players in the state due to his length and athleticism. His next level potential could go in a couple different directions. With added muscle, he becomes an intimidating post player. If he maintains his long lean muscle, he is a terror at the two or three positions. He is a next level dream because of his diverse skill set and height positioning him as a tweener. Dixon is destined for next level success and continued growth.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1409978' first='Christopher' last='Charlot Jr.'] is one of those players who can just flat-out score the ball. He is explosive, consistent, and easy to watch play the game. He can give you 40 points, or 12 points and 10 assists. He is a complete player with all of the next-level qualities coaches covet at the next level. He looks like a college player today and is visibly mature making him not only ready for the physical game but ready to lead a program. Give Charlot the plan, and watch him execute.</p>
