Jayden Stone (Team Carroll)- Until he leaves, Stone is the top dog in the class. There is not much this kid cannot do on the court. Sometimes, he is too unselfish. I want to see Stone in full attack mode from start to finish.
Tommy Murr (Alabama Fusion)- Big opportunity for Murr. This kid does not shy away from the big moments. Every game Murr shows he belongs. Continuing his consistent play and showing off the full arsenal is all he should focus on.
Giancarlo Valdez (Pro One)- Valdez is an absolute dog. He can score at all 3 levels and has really good size for either position. He has the size and fight to guard 1-3. The way this kid is playing, Valdez is becoming a top 15 talent in the state.
De’Marquiese Miles (Team Carroll)- Miles is a really strong on ball defender and has shown solid flashes offensively. He hasn’t played his best ball yet this AAU season, but there’s no better time than the first live period. Look for Miles to be aggressive this weekend.
Titus Griffin (Nike Elite Stars)- Griffin looks small for being 6’1, but he is an elite shooter. He has shown off the ability to score in a variety of ways and has improved his on ball defense. Continuing to show consistency against bigger and more athletic guards will be key for Griffin.
Cameron Glover (Alabama Celtics)- Glover is a warrior. He plays extremely hard on both ends. He can score at all 3 levels and has room to be more aggressive. When the bright lights are on, you cannot disappear. Look for Glover to set the tone for the Celtics this weekend in Dallas.
Sam Youngblood (Hawks Elite)- Youngblood is not overly athletic, but he is smooth with the ball and scores in a variety of ways. He also has a good stroke from deep, but he needs to show off more playmaking. Look for Youngblood to get his teammates involved early in order to open up his lanes.
