Fujimoto jumps into the rankings after a strong summer, where he also got out to our showcase and proved his value as a connector that Palmer Ridge can use. With a team full of scoring options, he brings facilitation, spacing, and leadership. He sets screens, rotates the ball, and knocks down mid-range shots when left open. His selfless play and high-IQ approach make him the type of guard who makes his team better. We just have to see it in games, and we expect to. 

Fujimoto stood out at the event as a player who is willing to do the dirty work. He was setting screens, rotating the ball, and keeping plays alive with his activity. He ran hard in transition for finishes and knocked down mid-range shots when defenders sagged. Whether in 3-on-3 or 5-on-5, his hustle and willingness to move without the ball showcased a selfless, team-first player who makes the right reads and consistently contributes. He’s a player who made plays happen, he impacted the game without scoring, and that is something that keeps you on the floor.
