<p>30). [player_tooltip player_id="962794" first="Elijah" last="White"] 5’9 2022 PG</p>
<p>Possible Projection: D2/D1 Fit</p>
<p>Best Quality: Confidence</p>
<p>Summary: [player_tooltip player_id="962794" first="Elijah" last="White"] is one of the more entertaining point guards in the 757. White loves to entertain the crowd, breaking down his matchups off the dribble and getting to his spots. White can really fill it up, making him a threat to score as well as a threat to dish it off to his open teammates, which he is more than capable of doing.</p>
<p>How to rank up: Grow</p>
<p>29). [player_tooltip player_id="999629" first="Sam" last="Brannen"] 6’0 2023 PG</p>
<p>Possible Projection: D2/D1 Fit</p>
<p>Best Quality: Maturity</p>
<p>Summary: Often times last year, Brannen was called upon to come off the bench and run the team whenever [player_tooltip player_id="793100" first="Jordan" last="Battle"] needed a break. Brannen, of course, did this amazingly well. Brannen is a strong, mature point guard who is already willing to take the big shot despite his young age. Brannen also is a very good perimeter defender, making him an intriguing 2 way prospect.</p>
<p>How to rank up: Show better slashing ability.</p>
<p>28). [player_tooltip player_id="798712" first="Chris" last="Brown"]: 6’4 2022 CG</p>
<p>Possible Projection: D2/D1 Fit</p>
<p>Best Quality: Athleticism</p>
<p>Summary: [player_tooltip player_id="798712" first="Chris" last="Brown"] is one of the most athletic guards in the 757. At 6’4, Brown will have plenty of time over the next 2 years to polish his game. Brown already can slash at will, and is capable of slamming it on you. He has great length and can end up an elite defender, capable of stopping either guard slots. As his game matures, watch out.</p>
<p>How to rank up: Improve confidence.</p>
<p>27). [player_tooltip player_id="957894" first="Kuron" last="Coleman"] Woodside 6’3 2021 SG</p>
<p>Possible Projection: D2/D1 Fit</p>
<p>Best Quality: Shooting</p>
<p>Summary: Kuran Coleman will definitely be considered a valued target for any team in the need of a confident shooter. Coleman has played both guard spots but I see him best projecting as a shooting guard. At 6’3, Coleman has the size to let his jumper go, making him a constant threat from downtown.</p>
<p>How to rank up: Show he can defend at the next level.</p>
<p>26). Elijah Kennedy Green Run 6’4 2021 SF</p>
<p>Possible Projection: D2/D1 Fit</p>
<p>Best Quality: Consistency</p>
<p>Summary: Elijah Kennedy has been a player I have been asked about lately from some Division 1 programs. My answer: He is a born shooter. Kennedy knows how to find his spots on the court and he knows how to get open. If he is open, it is most likely a done deal. The more Kennedy shows off his versatility, the more likely he is to gain further attention.</p>
<p>How to rank up: Round out his game.</p>
