<p>[player_tooltip player_id='3042089' first='MJ' last='Witherspoon'] - Witherspoon continues to trend upward as one of the most competitive young guards in the nation, not just the state. His ability to pressure the rim with power and touch, defend multiple positions, and play with pace translated seamlessly in a national setting.

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2934740' first='Andrew' last='Dixon'] - Dixon brought spacing and shot‑making to the floor. His ability to hit perimeter shots off movement and compete in the lane gave him value in camp games. He doesn't shy away from rebounding, and his confidence with the ball continues to grow. Quietly shaping into a versatile floor spacer at the wing or forward spot.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='2948703' first='Isaac' last='Shelton'] - Isaac continues to look like a guard who's comfortable hunting his shot. He adjusted to the pace and physicality of the bigger competitors, stayed balanced through bumps, and showed more willingness to finish plays instead of drifting for jumpers. He stayed involved by moving the ball, keeping the offense flowing, and running the floor with purpose.</p>
