[player_tooltip player_id='2411601' first='Isaiah' last='Shurn'] is an incredibly smooth, precise, and under control player, evident in his mastery of movement and decision-making with every dribble, pass, cut, and shot, often executed with fluidity and grace. Shurn maintains composure in high-pressure situations, consistently making game-changing plays that maximize efficiency and minimize errors. His scoring efficiency makes him a dangerous player and highly recruitable athlete. One of his standout traits is his ability to both score effectively and lockdown defensively, using active hands, length to alter shots, and strong perimeter defense skills.     [player_tooltip player_id='2395126' first='Jaiden' last='Guillen']'s game is built around his ability to create offense for himself and his teammates, using a combination of deep shooting range, crafty dribbling, and high IQ basketball reads. He plays with good pace, able to accelerate or decelerate particularly on the drive as he looks to draw the foul. Guillen proved to be a threat to score from anywhere on the court, displaying the ability to create a shot in one or two dribbles from all three levels. His stepback, behind the back, between the legs, and pullback stop-dribbles consistently gave him the space to shoot.     Marques Mahatha showcased a rugged and powerful style of play, leveraging his strength to drive forcefully through the lane, often overpowering defenders to finish strong at the rim. He consistently looked to establish deep post position early in offensive sets, allowing him to receive entry passes over the defense effectively. Mahatha also proved to be a significant threat in pick-and-roll situations, setting strong solid screens to create separation for the ball-handler before rolling hard to the basket as a viable scoring option.     Brandon Webber made a significant impact by consistently scoring in bunches, particularly highlighted in his game against Team Oklahoma where he scored the first 6 points solely from finishes inside. His ability to use body strength and power to navigate through the lane for high-percentage shots was phenomenal. Webber's patience and ball-handling skills were key in creating offense off the dribble, often drawing defenders out to set up plays, call for screens, or take defenders one-on-one.     [player_tooltip player_id='2442215' first='Bryson' last='Bond'] sliced defenses up with his slithery ability to turn the corner from the top of the key, giving him the opportunity to consistently attack downhill towards the basket. His knack handling and countering contact at the rim and while dribbling was remarkable, utilizing his body to shield the ball, absorb contact, and finish plays effectively inside. His elusive style of play helped him to create scoring chances in various game situations.
