Player Breakdown
Zach Clemence / 6’10” / Forward / Drive Nation(16U) / 2021
Clemence is a very polished prospect that has the ability to score on the perimeter with or finish over smaller defenders inside. Clemence still needs to work on adding muscle to his frame, but he is wiry strong and showed that he doesn’t mind battling for rebounds inside. The four-star prospect has a chance to have another star added to his name if he can continue to improve on both ends of the floor.
Preston Aymond / 6’7” / Forward / Texas Impact 4:13 / 2020
Aymond is a smooth inside and outside threat that plays the game with finesse. He showed off his versatility against Mudiay Elite (UAA) by knocking down multiple threes and displaying his soft touch around the rim.
Jimel Cofer / 6’3” / Guard / Mudiay Elite 16U (UAA)/ 2021
Cofer is an explosive guard that usually does not waste dribbles with the ball in his hands and looks to drive to the basket with bad intentions. Cofer looked good against Nike Drive Nation 16U (EYBL) and was hard to stay in front of.
Zhuric Phelps / 6’2” / Guard / Texas Impact 4:13 / 2021
The lean-framed Phelps has good instincts with the ball in his hands. Phelps showcased his ability to score or make plays for his teammates when needed.
Damon Nicholas / 6’4” / SF / Marcus Smart YGC36 16U (Adidas) / 2021
Nicholas is a tough two-way player that can score on all three levels and likes to play physical on-ball defense. He played with toughness and skill in the win over the talented Drive Nation 16U. The talented 2021 wing proved that he may be ranked too low in our current rankings.
Jaquan Scott / 6’8” / PF / Mudiay Elite (UAA) / 2020
Scott is a long four-man with good ball skills and face-up ability. The three-star Scott can knock down jumpers and finish over players inside.
Mason Gibson / 6’1” / Guard / YGC36(16U) / 2021
Gibson is a combination guard with strong ball ball-handling ability, a quick first step, and good body control when attacking the rim.
