<p><br>[player_tooltip player_id='3612447' first='Nathan' last='Stabler'] - Dreeam Athletics - [player_tooltip player_id='3612447' first='Nathan' last='Stabler'] keeps the pressure on the defense with his driving skills. He shows patience and will wait for the right moment to strike. He also uses his instincts and IQ to get open off the ball, making himself an easy target. His touch is another trait that helps him get the job done, and he seems to be pretty efficient. Considering his skill and assertiveness, I expect he'll continue to get buckets this summer for Dreeam Athletics.<br><br>Jakobe Jones-Tolbert - CBG - Jakobe is a very tough and agile player who can skirt around defenders on the way to the hoop. He uses his ability to change directions and coordination to convert difficult finishes. And is the type of guy who gets to the free throw line, as defenders have no choice but to foul him at times. On defense, Jones-Tolbert is a pest. And will make his matchup work to gain ground. Overall, I liked what I saw from him and he competes with real intensity. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2402916' first='Jaden' last='Stanley'] - [program_tooltip program_id='2961389' first='Illinois' last='Express'] - [player_tooltip player_id='2402916' first='Jaden' last='Stanley'] might not be the tallest player on the court, but he knows how to make an impact. He caught my attention with his sharp shooting, regularly cashing in on attempts from three-point range. He is also a player who can drain pull-up jumpers and occasionally get all the way to the hoop. It's quite evident that he has a strong sense of how defenses are going to play him, which helps him get his shot off. Defensively, he gives great effort and has some lateral quickness, which he uses to his advantage when it comes time to put the clamps on his matchup. I was also a fan of his demeanor and how he moves on to the next play no matter what. <br></p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2409249' first='Jonathan' last='Ocampo'] – The Big 3 – [player_tooltip player_id='2409249' first='Jonathan' last='Ocampo'] was absolutely one of the better bucket-getters that I saw on Sunday at the Great Lakes Finals . He's got a great looking release and has good coordination when he takes his matchup off the dribble. His pace also allows him to set up his scoring chances, and defenders have a difficult time anticipating his next move. Ocampo also found himself at the charity stripe a few times, where he did additional damage. While he may be flying under the radar a bit right now, I believe that'll change very soon.<br></p>

<p>Preston Johnson - TNBA Select - Preston Johnson hit what turned out to be the game-winner for TNBA Select a couple of Sundays ago. He darted to the elbow before draining a smooth mid-range shot. It was just enough to give his team the edge, and he also got to the line, where he buried a free throw. Outside of that shot, he made other tough baskets throughout the game, and I liked how he got after it on the defensive end, where he helped cause turnovers. <br></p>
