Continue Reading15U is where players build the momentum that eventually elevates them to being higher profile players. Coupled with the pandemic, these guys are really beginning to put their names on the map, nationally. And with all that’s at stake, they didn’t disappoint. Below are some intriguing names scouts may know and others they don’t.
Kyree Latimer Kyree Latimer 6'3" | CG Constitution | 2024 State PA 2024 6’2 G – K-low
Latimer is an exciting passer at this stage. He racked up several assists due to his court vision and ability to pass from different angles – overhead, wrap around, dump-offs, etc. His playmaking is only going to get better. In a late comeback attempt against Team Final Red, Kyree knifed through the defense on his way to crafty lay-ups.
Darren Williams Darren Williams 6'4" | SG Archbishop Ryan | 2024 State PA 2024 6’2 G – K-Low
He may be right-handed, but Williams drove both ways. His hesi was effective with either hand. That willingness to get downhill at his size served the whole team well because it opened up passing windows, which he utilized. Being able to play either guard spot gives him a ton of upside.
Elijah Brown Elijah Brown 6'4" | SG Life Center Academy | 2025 State NJ 2024 6’4 W – Team Final
He certainly looks the part. The dual-sport athlete from St. Augustine High (NJ) has the makings of a elite-level glue guy (a more). With his length, he made good defensive rotations, cut off drivers and contested shots. On offense, he moved well without the ball, cutting to open spaces for easy buckets. Overall, he’s a smart player who made plays without dribbling.
Nick Coval Nick Coval 6'1" | CG Parkland | 2024 State PA 2024 6’1 G – Team Final
If all Coval did was spot-up in the corner, he would have a positive impact on the team. But he did more than that. Nick hit 4 triples in the first half versus City Rocks – 2 were off of movement. His footwork was clean and his release was smooth. He didn’t just shoot J’s though. Nick scored efficiently from deep and in the paint.
2024 6’0 G – Team Final
Deuce operated as a primary and secondary creator for the 15u squad. Him putting pressure on the rim was a constant. Full court and half court, Mike generates high percentage shots. In the process, he initiated contact to get to the free throw line and put opponents in foul trouble.
Jake West Jake West 6'1" | PG William Penn Charter | 2025 State #193 Nation PA 2024 5’8 G – Team Final Red
The Freshman from Plymouth Whitemarsh is built low to the ground, but he embraced it on the court. Jake routinely used his size to go under K-Low’s guards and change directions at any moment. This allowed him to blow by defenders with slight hesitations. Him getting to the rim down the stretch ceiled the game for his team.
Bonus: Robert Wright III Robert Wright III 6'0" | PG Montverde Academy (FL) | 2024 State #35 Nation FL 2024 G 5’10 – Team Final
This kid imposed his will in both games. Robert got where he wanted and did whatever he had to do to complete the play. The stop and start ability kept his defenders on their heels. And his slashing opened up space for him to get his jumper off. With a compact build and an explosive first step, Wright III is next up.
