<p class="text-gray-700">Willmore is a shifty ball-handling guard who averaged nearly 12 points and three assists per game for OBG Elite. The junior makes the move to Balboa for the 2026-27 season and brings a high basketball IQ and impressive command of the ball. He is a capable three level scorer who changes speeds effectively and can create his own offense off the dribble. Willmore also sees the floor well and is a good passer who consistently creates opportunities for teammates..</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The Wisconsin native moved inside the Top 80 of our updated 2028 rankings and continues to trend in the right direction as a prospect. West is a high level athlete and aggressive attacking guard who excels at getting past defenders and putting pressure on the defense. He is especially dangerous in transition, where he can push the pace and finish above the rim, and has the ball skills to create his own offense off the dribble. West also competes on the defensive end, where he is a willing and capable on-ball defender.</p>
