Take a look at some of the players sure to catch the eyes of coaches and scouts.    [player_tooltip player_id='2318074' first='Kameron' last='Rivers'] is a shifty guard whose skill matches his competitive fire. A natural leader, he's special with the ball in his hands, using his pace and handles to manipulate defenses and create scoring opportunities for his teammates. Rivers is an exciting player to watch, a fearless competitor who attacks the basket relentlessly but also possesses a reliable mid-range and three-point shot.  He plays with uninhibited creativity, constantly experimenting and pushing the boundaries of his game.  Rivers is a true competitor, always seeking new challenges on the court.     Nate McDaniel is a tough, high-IQ point guard with all the tools to excel at the next level. Like a skilled chef, he served up a full menu of offensive dishes, making sure every teammate was involved.  McDaniel is unstoppable both on and off the ball, orchestrating the game with poise and precision.  Beyond his offensive gifts, he rebounds effectively and is a strong defender.  Calling him "one to watch" would be an understatement. While playing the point, his teammates clearly looked for him when they needed a bucket.  McDaniel was truly one of the top guards of the entire weekend.     Michael Williams is a strong guard with a high motor. In a close matchup against the Louisiana Cardinals, he consistently made big plays, using his size to create opportunities for himself and his teammates. A strong downhill attacker, Williams is a creative finisher at the rim, effectively utilizing the floater in the lane and along the baseline. He is constantly moving towards the ball and forces the action when needed. He's definitely a player to watch this summer because toughness in this current game of finesse players is not easy to find. Coaches will surely appreciate his skill set.     Kamryn Green is a dominant force at a legitimate 6'8". In an era where traditional big men are becoming increasingly rare, he proves the value of fundamental basketball.  Green runs the floor hard, rebounds with authority, and protects the rim aggressively.  His excellent hands and footwork made him unstoppable and the clear difference-maker in every game.  He can score whenever he sees the rim, excels with his back to the basket, and can even knock down the mid-range jumper.  Green was one of the most dominant post presences in the entire tournament.     Brennan White exemplifies the impact of skill and heart. One of the smallest players on the court, he consistently made timely plays, leveraging his craftiness and tough demeanor.  Shifty and elusive with the ball, he creates opportunities for himself and his teammates.  A clear gym rat, White's exceptional ball-handling skills kept defenders at bay, fearing they'd end up on a highlight reel. While fearless attacking the rim, his superpower is undoubtedly his three-point shooting. The kid can flat-out shoot the lights out. Every successful team needs role players. White is the shooter.
