<p>SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA — Silver Waves Media and All In Elite UA head man Ryan Silver put together a strong collection of 15u, 16u and 17u club teams to participate in the Battle of the Brands which featured matchups across shoe circuit teams. We took in the action at Gahr high school and El Segundo high school Saturday and below we break down the best wings, forwards and centers we watched.</p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2948296' first='Carter' last='Brown'] | 2028 | Open Gym Premier 3SSB 16u</h4>   <p>Brown is a long, wiry and athletic wing whose ability to stretch the floor to the three-point line off the catch is his best attribute in the early going of his development. The 6-foot-6 sophomore is an active, live-bodied and high motor with a ton of upside.</p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2435390' first='Ender' last='Berg'] | 2027 | All In Elite UAA 17u</h4>   <p>Berg stands out with his endless effort and energy which translates to production as a rebounder, rim protector and transition rim-runner and finisher. The 6-foot-10 center has great coordination, touch with either hand around the basket and pursues rebounds in and out of his area.</p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2750234' first='Houston' last='Rolle'] | 2028 | Team Why Not 16u</h4>   <p>Rolle is one of the most promising underclass prospects in the state and his development has turned into major production since this time last spring. The 6-foot-5 wing is filling into his frame and the added strength has led to improved off-dribble game where he can create and score through contact in the painted area.</p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='3524081' first='Jackson' last='Thomas'] | 2029 | Team Why Not 15u</h4>   <p>Thomas impressed with his face-up shooting ability as a floor-stretching four-man off the catch. The 6-foot-5 wing/forward was effective in spot-up situations, knocked down trail threes in transition and showed good balance and fluidity when flowing into threes in pick-and-pop situations.</p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">Javez Coleby | 2029 | Team Why Not 16u</h4>   <p>Coleby is one of the top young big men out west thanks to his uncanny combination of soft hands, back to the basket feel, transition mobility and touch with either hand around the rim. Coleby is active on the offensive and defensive glass and has a natural feel for the position.</p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2574812' first='Sadeek' last='Noah'] | 2027 | AZ Select UAA 17u</h4>   <p>Noah's biggest strength is his two-way versatility at the wing/forward position. The 6-foot-7 junior out of Arizona is an instinctual defender with the lateral speed and athleticism to contain guards on the perimeter and act as a rim protector in help defensive situations. Offensively, Noah is best as a transition slasher and finisher but can also knock down off-catch threes with time and space.</p>   <h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2574810' first='Wor' last='Wor'] | 2027 | AZ Select UAA 17u</h4>   <p>Wor has a ton of offensive skill in his arsenal and brings a ton of versatility to that end of the floor. The 6-foot-7 wing scored on cuts, isolations and perimeter jumpers in the half-court and was in attack mode in transition where he used his length and athleticism to glide through the lane for at-rim buckets.</p>
