Evan Tatum Evan Tatum 6'5" | PF Desert Pines | 2023 State NV 6’3 SF Iso Elite 2022 – Tataum is a good looking c/o 2022 player. He got out in transition and muscled his way to the rim. Fluid athlete that was able to also manufacture buckets off offensive rebounds to go along with his transition finishes.
Gianni Rodriguez Gianni Rodriguez 6'3" | SF Sierra Vista | 2022 State NV 6’3 SF OGB 2022 (#39PHN 2022) (featured image) – The smooth lefty showed off a nice in between game. He was able to knock down 3’s when left open, and drive and finish with runners and floaters when defenders closed. He played a key role in helping OGB to the 16U title.
Colton Dukes 6’1 SG Swag Elite (#14PHNC 2023) – Love going to tournaments to find players like this. Dukes is a good looking prospect. He has an explosive burst on not only his first step, but also his last. Competes hard, and shoots it well from behind the arc. Duke was one of the more talented players at the event.
Ray Payne Ray Payne 6'0" | CG Eldorado | 2022 State NV 6’0 SG OGB 2022 – Payne showed some nice combo skills on the day. He used his driving ability to attack the basket and put pressure on the defense. He also showed a nice display of passing, hitting several players with on time, and on target passes after the defense collapsed.
Cameron Frazier 6’2 SF Swag Elite 2022 – Frazier did a little bit of everything on the weekend. Perhaps his best skill was his ability to rebound and provide toughness. He deflected several passes while at the top of the zone, and protected the rim and blocked shots when he played in the paint.
Adonis Lafleur 6’1 SF Chosen Few 2024 – Lafleur seemed to always be open in transition. He wasn’t cherry picking either. The wing did an excellent job of sprinting the floor, catching and finishing. He only played one day because of injury, but when healthy he was on of the top wings in the event.
