<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Brady is one of the most competitive, hardest-working players his coach has had in over two decades, and that mentality shows up every possession. He is an elite shooter with advanced ball-handling skills, allowing him to create clean looks on or off the ball. Defensively, he is a tough, engaged on-ball stopper, and when he gets rolling, he can score in bunches. His motor and mentality give him clear upward mobility in the rankings.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2314467' first='Jayvion' last='Jones']</strong> (6'1/CG/'26/Park Crossing)</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">Ranking: #157</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Jayvion's calling card is his high-impact defense as he consistently takes on tough assignments and brings disruptive energy on the perimeter. Offensively, he is a strong finisher around the rim, using his physicality and toughness to convert through contact. He also carries himself as a natural leader, playing with communication, poise, and presence that elevate his team.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2891322' first='Justin' last='Chapman']</strong> (6'4/F/'26/Prattville)</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">Ranking: #158</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Justin is an active, athletic forward who excels by doing the blue-collar work that wins games. He attacks the glass, runs the floor hard in transition, and uses his length and mobility to defend multiple positions. His versatility and ability to impact the game without needing plays drawn for him make him a valuable piece for any system.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3070705' first='Jamall' last='Canty']</strong> (6'2/SG/'26/Pike Road)</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size">Ranking: #169</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Jamall is a strong, athletic scorer capable of putting pressure on defenses from all three levels. He finishes well through contact at the rim, shows confidence handling the ball, and has the physical tools to be a matchup problem. His fearless approach and ability to score in various ways give him strong breakout potential moving forward.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3070703' first='Talan' last='Laird']</strong> (6'3/SG/'26/Corner)</p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Ranking: #195</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Talan is a really good scorer, who produces at all three levels and shooting 43% from beyond the arc last season. His offseason dedication showed, as he is noticeably stronger, more explosive, and playing above the rim at times. He has also made major strides defensively and continues to improve as a playmaker, becoming more comfortable handling the ball and creating for others, not just himself. His trajectory points sharply upward.</p>

<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='3070690' first='Azerion' last='Jennings']</strong> (6'1/PG/'26/Valley)</p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Ranking: #212</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} -->
<p class="has-medium-font-size">Azerion is the definition of a coach's player as he is a team captain who is extremely coachable, plays with consistent effort, and brings toughness on the defensive end. His work ethic and commitment to doing things the right way position him to continue rising as he expands his offensive game.</p>
