MIKE AIKEN | 5’8 G | THURGOOD MARSHALL ’21
Aiken did a good job changing speed with the ball in his hands. He saw the floor well and showed a good feel for the game by making smart decisions with the ball. Aiken clearly stood out as a reliable playmaker on offense but also made plays defensively where he reacted quickly.
DYLAN EDWARDS | 6’1 G | ST. ANDREW’S ’21
Edwards was one of the better passers we saw in the gym on Saturday. He knows how to play and this was very evident as he consistently set up his teammates in places where they could convert easy buckets.
LANDON HAWES | 6’4 G | POTOMAC FALLS ’20
As the son of a coach, Hawes demonstrates good knowledge of the game. His blend of size and court vision is intriguing. Hawes often makes the right play in transition or half-court offense by distributing the ball timely and accurately to the open man.
ELIJAH HAWKINS | 5’9 G | DEMATHA ’21
Hawkins was one of the most dynamic playmakers in at last weekend’s event. The quick and crafty lead guard was constantly setting up his teammates for easy buckets.
RONALD POLITE | 6’2 G | OXON HILL ’20
One thing that stood out about Polite’s performance was how efficient he was with the ball. The George Mason commit showed the ability to make guys around him better with seemingly little effort.
