Quentin Mosby | Hoopland 16U | 2028
Mosby was easily one of the best shooters from the event, pouring in 3s in both games I saw. He’s only going to be a freshman next fall but was a major factor for Hoopland’s 16U squad. The young guard splashed in just about every attempt from behind the arc, showed extended range, and a lightning-quick release. He’s a very confident shooter and it wouldn’t be surprising to see him contribute right away in the next high school season.
Champ Huerta Champ Huerta 5'11" | SG Kentwood | 2026 State WA | NW Drip Select 16U | 2026
Huerta was a driving force for his team offensively, showing good, consistent range from deep. He has the ability to space the floor and knock down catch-and-shoot opportunities but also made a couple of confident pulls bringing the ball down and hitting from deep. The potent shooter was able to get defenders to play tighter up and showed he can play off that outside shot by using ball fakes, or quick moves off the catch to get inside and hit some tough paint shots over the top of defenders.
Liam Kelly Liam Kelly 6'0" | CG Woodinville | 2025 State WA | EBC Elite 17U | 2025
Kelly had one of the best games of the weekend from 3-point, sinking his first five shots against FOH EYCL 16U and finishing the game 6-for-7 from behind the arc. He was on fire from deep and hit a couple of shots from a few feet back of the line. Later on, he attacked hard closeouts to get in the paint and make plays, going all the way to the rim and also dishing some dimes to backdoor cutters.
Daniel Johnson Daniel Johnson 6'1" | SG Auburn | 2026 State WA | FOH EYCL 16U | 2026
He’s just a smooth shooter who can hit from long-range and sink some shots off the bounce in the midrange too. While he’s really effective spotting up and nailing down catch-and-shoot opportunities, he also is a really quick guard who can attack off the dribble and create some space for shots. He’s been a consistent shooter for them all spring, proving to be one of the better shooters in his class.
Jaeger Fyfe Jaeger Fyfe 6'2" | SG Meridian | 2025 State WA | Team 360 Hoops 17U | 2025
Fyfe’s a guard with great range and a nice, high-arching shot. He can hit over tight contests, off the dribble, off the catch, and in big moments. He knocked down four 3s against Washington Supreme that loomed big in a close victory and hit a lot of his shots off kick-outs and size-ups without hesitation.
Diggy Griffin Diggy Griffin 6'5" | SF Rosemary Anderson Prep | 2025 State OR | FOH EYCL 17U | 2025
Here’s a 6-foot-5 guard who shows a lot of skill on the perimeter, both knocking down shots on the catch and displaying excellent footwork to create space and drill shots. He shows good shot creation both from deep and in the midrange and can hit step-backs, turnarounds, and tough shots with the defense right on him.
Cobe Liberty Cobe Liberty 6'0" | SG Mount Vernon | 2027 State WA | Team 360 Hoops | 2027
Liberty was a big surprise for me, hitting seven 3s in their win over Seattle Select and looking nearly automatic from deep. He didn’t solely rely on his shooting to make plays, showing he can dice into the lane and make plays from there, but his outside shooting was definitely a big factor throughout the game and he took advantage of any space afforded to him behind the arc.
