We saw Cotton as a standout at our tourney a couple of weeks back for Rocky Mountain Rebound, and he’s a player that people will be hearing about in the next year. I just know it. He is a true floor general, and he quietly controlled stretches of games in that tourney with his pace and decision-making. He’s a facilitator who consistently made the right read, pushed tempo when opportunities opened up, and kept teammates involved offensively. That is what you ask for in a PG. Defensively, he mirrored that same energy with pressure and active hands and pushed guards into the helpside. Cotton stands out for me because he doesn’t force too much and lets the game come to him, which you don’t see too much at this age. I want to see how that translates as he plays with his high school team, but certainly a player who makes our watch list as a player to keep an eye on. 

Cotton excelled in the role of facilitator, demonstrating strong court vision and decision making throughout the event. He consistently put his teammates in positions to succeed, delivering timely passes and creating open scoring opportunities. Cotton’s ability to control the pace of the game was evident, as he pushed the ball in transition to capitalize on defensive breakdowns. On the defensive end, he mirrored that same intensity, applying pressure and generating steals that led to easy baskets. His two-way impact and unselfish play style made him a standout, helping his team maintain rhythm and capitalize on key moments.
