<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Abney stood out with his combination of deep three-point shooting ability and savvy as a ball-handler, creator for teammates and decision-maker in transition and half-court offense. The 5-foot-6 lefty played with elite pace and vision that are well beyond his years.</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Bryce Bible | 2030 | Chatsworth (CA)</h4>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Bible has a traditional style game as a 6-foot-5 power forward/center who impacts the game around the rim on both ends of the floor. His ability to establish deep post position and make a back to the basket move to either hand was difficult to stop for those not well-versed in low block defense.</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Dahntay Jones, Jr. | 2031 | North Hills (CA)</h4>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The son of long-time NBA veteran Dahntay Jones has a well-packaged offensive game for such a young prospect. He handles and makes decisions like a point guard, can slide off the ball and hit open jumpers or attack the rim and his strong 5-foot-10 frame allows him to absorb and finish through contact.</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Jayden Jones | 2030 | Northridge (CA)</h4>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The long, athletic 6-foot-2 wing was perhaps the best non-8th grade slasher and finisher in the gym over the weekend. Jones used his quick twitch first step and blow-by speed to attack the first line of defense and earn paint touches which resulted in at-rim buckets.</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2768398' first='King' last='Harris'] | 2030 | Long Beach (CA)</h4>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Harris was a smart and savvy scoring guard who used his handle, change of speed and direction and craftiness to get by defenders and to his scoring spots. The 5-foot-11 guard has a throwback type of feel to his game with his adeptness as a mid-range jump shooter and touch around the basket on floaters and up-and-under layups.</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2768381' first='Logan' last='Gardner'] | 2030 | Anaheim Hills (CA)</h4>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Gardner was one of three 7th graders selected to play in the Best of the Best game and it's because he kept the game simple and excelled by making the right plays in his camp games. The 6-foot point guard was using his speed and strength to break down defenders off the dribble and made the right read on when to pass and score more often than not.</p>

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Omar Muhammad | 2030 | Clovis (CA)</h4>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Muhammad could be categorized as the best athlete regardless of class in the gym over the weekend. The wiry 6-foot-2 combo guard had the quickest crossover to blow-by ability which allowed him to get to the rim whenever he chose to. Muhammad also attacked the rim aggressively and his quick elevation negated rim protectors.</p>
