NERR Elite 75 College Showcase Central Edition: Second Team

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On Tuesday, I attended the NERR Elite 75 College Showcase Central Edition. There were 110 players present, and they competed in a few drills before running 5 on 5 full court for about 2.5 hours. Plenty of college prospects were present.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Read: <a href="https://prephoops.com/2026/06/nerr-elite-75-college-showcase-central-edition-first-team/" id="https://prephoops.com/2026/06/nerr-elite-75-college-showcase-central-edition-first-team/">NERR Elite 75 College Showcase Central Edition: First Team</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below is my second-team from the event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1680503"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","fullHeight":true,"anchor":"acf-block-6a3d78f9d2c30"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Vinson is a physically imposing guard who has some awesome tools. The 6-foot-3 lefty can score from all three levels and has a knack for using his strength while also being slippery in the lane. He has nice handles and spin moves in the paint, and he's a solid passer when the defense collapses. He needs to refine his shot selection and figure out the best times for him to facilitate vs. score, but his on ball reps for Worcester Academy this season should help him in that regard, and he has the talent and feel to eventually figure it out. Vinson feels like a high D3 player to me, but that could change depending on how this season goes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2568342"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a3d78f9d2cb8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Joyner was his normal self on Tuesday, consistently getting paint touches and making good decisions off of two feet. He has a low center of gravity and a phenomenal handle, so he doesn't overreact to pressure and is able to get to his spots on the floor effortlessly—he has a calming feel when he has the rock and is in control of the offense. He showed off the ability to get his three-point shot off at will, but he also got mid range and layup attempts off. Joyner is a pure point guard who can be your leading scorer but is probably better fit as a facilitator, which he should be able to be for MacDuffie this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2633564"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a3d78f9d2d12"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I've grown to really love Rivera's game. The 6-foot-1 guard has gotten so much stronger in the past year, and it's paying dividends for him on both ends of the floor. He was the only guy I saw take a charge all night—and he took 3 or 4 of them in one game!! He competes hard on that end and talks all the time. Offensively, he has a quick trigger and strokes it from three, but his added strength has also massively improved his driving and finishing ability in the paint. Rivera should be a key player for Governor's Academy this season and will find a fit at the D3 level when the time comes. His ability to fit in any offensive system will be his calling card.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["3417365"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a3d78f9d2d70"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Maguire continues to impress me with his ability to play tons of different roles. The 6-foot-2 guard clearly decided it was his time to be a pure point guard at Tuesday's Elite 75, and he showed out while doing so. He made the right decision 98% of the time—whether it showed up in the stats or not—but also picked his spots to score over smaller/weaker defenders and on guys who went under screens. He does all the little things on both ends and is an awesome teammate to play with. Maguire might not seem like an amazing athlete, but he can get up for two handed dunks and is more explosive than he looks. D3 guy who should be at the helm of Cheshire's offense this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2938905"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a3d78f9d2dc4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stanger was the only underclassman that stood out to me on Tuesday. The 6-foot-3 guard didn't look remotely flustered by the size, strength, and toughness of upperclassman. Instead, he showed off his ability to make shots from three while also effectively attacking closeouts and making decisions in the paint. You know when you watch a couple of possessions and just know a kid understands how to play? That's [player_tooltip player_id='2938905' first='Jake' last='Stanger']. He should be a key piece for Milton this season and has an extremely bright future ahead, especially with his budding athleticism and potential to keep growing physically. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
