I got a hands-on look at all of these high-level athletes. Look for their stock to continue to rise after some very impressive performances!
Trey’Dez Green Trey’Dez Green 6'8" | PF Zachary | 2024 State #54 Nation LA 2024- East Feliciana High School
Trey is an impressive force on the offensive end. He possesses great strength and the ability to finish at the rim and through defenders. He bullied defenders on a regular basis. He is also a very strong roller to the rim and is a very consistent finisher for his age. I would like to see him work on his ability to manipulate the pick and roll and learn to see when he should slip the pick or pop out for a look in the midrange or beyond the arc. Green has a great frame already; this is definitely one prospect to keep your eye on.
Jacob Vilar Jacob Vilar 6'2" | SG Episcopal School of Acadiana | 2024 State LA 2024- Holy Savior Menard
Jacob is a very strong on-ball defender. He can pick up high-level ball handlers in the full court. He displayed a very high-level jump shot off the dribble and off the catch. His blend of high-level defense and skilled offense should be very tantalizing to college coaches. I would like to see him work on his ability to get into the lane and attack the defense.
Wayne Randall Bashay 2024- New Iberia Senior High
Wayne was a standout wing during this event. He is a great passer in the pick and roll and is great at throwing kick-out passes with one hand. He is a strong finisher at the rim which complements his smooth stroke from outside. He is also a great help defender, he forced turnovers by poking the ball loose and loves going for emphatic chase-down blocks. I was very impressed by his ability to move up and down the court and provided much-needed energy whenever he was in the game.
Anthony Angelle Anthony Angelle 6'3" | CG St. Thomas More | 2024 State LA 2024- St. Thomas More
Anthony is a strong on-ball defender for his age. He has great mobility and agility which allows him to stay in front of high-level guards and wings. He is a great decision-maker on his passes ahead on the fast break, he was able to beat full-court pressure and created multiple opportunities on the break as well. I would like to see him work on his ability to score off the dribble and get into the paint at a better rate. I would also like to see him work on taking smarter shots.
Cooper Coates Cooper Coates 6'6" | SF University Lab | 2024 State LA 2024 Forward
Cooper is a patient shooter; he can knock down an open look around the arc if given the space. He is the prototypical forward who is deadly off the pick and pop. He is a very smooth big for his size, and he should continue to grow and add strength to his already impressive frame. I would love to see him continue to develop his agility to move around the court and defend other forwards and quicker wings. He is definitely an interesting prospect to keep your eye on over the next few years.
