Young basketball player in red uniform standing on court.

Cornelious Best Team Grind Black 2030 Best can score the ball well for a young player. He was constantly moving and always involved with plays around the basket. As he grows & matures physically, he could develop into a recognizable name throughout the state.

Braven Blount IGI White 2030 Blount can do a ton of things well on the basketball court. He keeps his head up and sees the floor well as a primary ball-handler. He’s got a quick release and a nice looking jumper overall. Versatile young guard that is primed to make quite a name for himself in the future.

Zyon Howard Team Trezz 2030 Howard showed off a very mature offensive game. Has a tight handle on the ball and doesn’t mind getting physical on either side of the ball. Bigtime scoring option at a young age but also is a dangerous passer. A player that is truly ahead of his time.

Kentrell Johnson Warriors Life Elite 2030
Fast guard that plays a surprisingly physical brand of basketball. Has a slender frame, but attacks the basket regularly and converts around the rim. Very fast lead guard that can dish and score it.

Jonathan Jones Cota Elite 2030 Jones is a fast guard with good size and defensive principles. Uses his size, speed and intensity well all weekend. Rare to see kids his age locked in on both sides of the ball.

Jeremiah Moore IGI White 2030 Moore is a player that has a world of potential. He’s a highly skilled guard with exceptional athleticism for a player his age. In the matchups I watched him, there were several instances that he blew by tough defenders and exploded to the rim. In addition to his athleticism, he’s an unselfish player that creates easy scoring opportunities for those around him. Top notch young player.

Jysir Buckram Warriors Life Elite 2031 Buckram is a high level guard that gets it. Very cerebral creator that makes his teammates better while also keeping himself afloat in the scoring column. Love his willingness to keep everyone else involved and he’s got impressive footwork for a young player. One to monitor.

Jalen Cowan Team Grind Elite 2031
Cowan is a crafty scoring guard that can pile up points with some of the best. Very tricky left-hand dominant guard that can finish at the rim and knocks down jumpers. Love how he uses the backboard.

Quamari Hollenback Team Trezz 2031 Hollenback is a high level shot maker already. You can’t leave him with any space or he’ll pile up points in a hurry without using many dribbles. One to watch closely as he continues to grow and round out his game over the years.

Kayden Howard Team Trezz 2031 Howard is as elite a creator off the dribble that you’ll find in this age division. Outstanding speed with the ball, crafty and is a relentless attacker. Despite being small, he makes up for it with his intensity, skill and basketball IQ.
