There's a good chance that Jenkins is the best player in the gym on Saturday afternoon. The 6-6 swing man is an elite shooting threat who buried 42.9% of his 3-point attempts for the Class 4A runner-up Dragons. He has the type of size, length, athleticism, and shooting that college coaches covet on the wing.

A lead guard with really good size, Akines is always one of the standouts at these events because of his raw ability to create quality shots for himself and his teammates. He has excellent vision, is a fantastic ball-handler, and has the high-level footwork to create additional space. Players who end up on Akines' team in 5-on-5 play should be very happy, he's going to put them in good positions all afternoon.

Cook-Berns was really solid as a junior at Waterloo West, averaging 11.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and 1.7 assists per game and has transferred to play his senior year at Waterloo Columbus Catholic. He'll give the Sailors a tough, athletic guard who can put constant pressure on opposing teams with his ability to break down a defender.

Another player who will be in attendance who has an intriguing blend of size, length, athleticism, and raw talent, Robinson put up 8.8 points and 4.8 rebounds per game for the River Kings. At 6-5/6-6, he handles it well, has good vision, and can score inside and out. I'm anxious to see how his all-around game has continued to develop.

Wobschall was a solid second scoring threat for the Cardinals last season, averaging 9.6 points per game and showing that he can play with or without the ball in his hands. He's a solid shooter (34.7 3P%) who can also attack the bucket off the bounce.
