<p>Jayden Wright - Jayden plays with a toughness you can feel when attacking the rim, absorbing contact, and competing on both ends. He's still developing his consistency as a scorer, but the flashes of downhill aggression and confidence are real. Continued growth in shot selection and playmaking will help him become a more complete guard heading into next season.</p>

<p>Taylen Morris - Morris brings quickness and agility that immediately stand out, using his burst to get into gaps and create scoring chances. He's still learning how to slow down, read help, and finish with more control, but the tools are there. As he tightens his handle and adds more polish to his jumper, his scoring impact will take a big leap.</p>

<p>Nasser Salem - Salem is developing into an inside‑out forward, showing flashes of touch around the rim and confidence stepping into perimeter plays. He's still figuring out how to use his size consistently, but the upside is clear. Improving his physicality, footwork, and defensive discipline will help him become a more reliable two‑way presence.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2851172' first='Ramiro' last='Amezcua'] - Ramiro plays with feel and control, reads the floor, and makes the extra pass. As a smaller guard, he's still learning how to create separation with his quickness and finish through length, but his decision‑making gives him a strong foundation. Adding strength and a more consistent pull‑up will elevate his impact.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2851235' first='Jayshon' last='Goodwin'] - Goodwin thrives in space by cutting, relocating, and finding open pockets where he can make himself available. He's still developing the on‑ball playmaking skill to expand his role, but his off‑ball instincts are promising. As he grows more confident attacking closeouts and shooting off movement, his value increases.</p>
