Eli had his complete game on display Monday night against Minneapolis Camden. The 2026 point guard showcased his ability to score on his own, as well as facilitate to his teammates. Eli plays with a change of speed that makes him so unpredictable on the ball, able to lull defenders to sleep before exploding with a quick burst to the basket. He showcased impressive body control to hang in the air and finish against size, as well as the touch to put up a soft floater with either hand. Eli handled it well under pressure and was able to get his team numbers advantages out in transition with his quickness.

This Minnesota Fury team does a great job of creating shots from their offensive sets, but Eli brings just the right amount of unpredictability that can be needed to win big games. In the 17u title game he helped push the tempo for some transition buckets, and when the offense was stalled he could be relied upon to create something out of nothing. Showed no problems handling the ball against a team filled with length and athleticism, and had a clutch left handed lay-up over a 6’7 defender during the 1st overtime period of the 17u title game.
