<p class="text-gray-700">Aaron McMorran II is undoubtedly on the short list of the best shooters in the country. Beyond his high percentage from beyond the arc, his efficiency across all three levels makes him an elite prospect who offers much more than just perimeter scoring. McMorran II is a versatile playmaker who can score in a variety of ways, and with his trajectory, he is only going to continue to improve. After helping lead his team to Peach Jam, it is clear that McMorran II is a no-brainer prospect at the next level.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='3643589' first='Tchoyi' last='Bryant'] is a 6'7" force of nature who continues to turn heads on the court. Currently competing with the UAA Mountain Stars, Bryant has played a pivotal role in leading his team to the tournament semifinals. He plays with fearless aggression, consistently slashing through defenses; he possesses the agility to blow by defenders his own size and the physical dominance to overpower smaller opponents at the rim. Bryant is a legitimate problem for any defense, and his high-octane, rim-attacking playstyle suggests he is poised for a massive breakout at the end of July and will undoubtedly translate to the next level.</p>
