Expert Analysis
Delon Bowen | Prep Hoops Scout
If I had to rank the top point guards in the event, you better believe he’s in my top five. Not many guards were able to operate with the ball in their hands as consistently and effectively as he did. With a quick first step and an impressive set of change-of-speed moves, he kept defenders off balance and got to his spots all event.

One of the more polished guards at the event. He operated with strong tempo and consistently pushed the pace in transition, putting pressure on opposing defenses. Displayed good feel as a decision-maker—made the right reads, didn’t force plays, and stayed composed under pressure. Showed the ability to score at multiple levels, knocking down threes and mid-range jumpers, while also getting downhill and finishing through contact.

is a guard that utilizes change of direction to slip by his defender. He also knows when to punch it, and can blow by defenders if he catches them on their heels. As a defender, Velez doesn’t take possessions off and doesn’t give his opponents much room to operate.
