Tabren Hawkins is a point guard playing for Team Loaded 757. His biggest strengths are his composure and ball-handling. In the championship game, he was pressed nearly the entire game.

Tabren Hawkins proved to be one of the more dangerous scoring guards at the event. An elite shooter with deep range, Hawkins has the ability to change a game quickly if he gets going.
He does a great job creating his own shot and attacking downhill, finishing well around the rim even through contact. But what separates him is his perimeter shooting — he’s capable of heating up fast and stretching defenses.
Even with Team Loaded Gold focusing defensively on Hawkins, he still displayed his scoring ability. He also demonstrated his overall impact. Combine that with his defensive effort, and it’s easy to see the value he brings.
He’s the type of player who can fit into a lot of college systems and make an immediate impact.

Tabren Hawkins is one of the most complete scoring guards in the 757. Somehow, he still doesn’t get talked about enough.
He’s an elite three-level scorer who shoots the ball at a high percentage and can hurt defenses in multiple ways. Whether it’s catch-and-shoot threes, pull-ups off the bounce, or attacking downhill, Hawkins plays with confidence and control.
His handle is tight, and he changes pace well to create separation. What makes him even more valuable is that he’s not just a scorer. He’s an underrated defender and playmaker who impacts both ends of the floor. He competes, communicates, and plays within the team concept. This teamwork has been a significant factor in Catholic’s success this season.
The summer circuit should be a prime opportunity for Hawkins to elevate his profile. If he carries his high school production into AAU play, expect his recruitment to gain serious traction.

One of the top guards on my board following the performance Tabren put on Sunday afternoon. He was unstoppable scoring the basketball and made the game look easy as it continued on. Ran the point guard position well and also played off the ball effectively. Tabren stepped out and knocked down a multitude of three-pointers through the course of the game. Had a couple of nice pullup threes to add to his highlight-filled game. Tabren’s shifty handle allowed him to get off almost any shot he wanted over the course of the game. Got to the line and the basket just as effectively as he shot the ball. Played both sides of the ball well, igniting fastbreaks all game thanks to his heady defense. Top-notch Sunday afternoon from Catholic’s lead guard.
