Jakari Tertulien, 6’4″ SG, 2023
Jakari’s overall game continues to make strides. Throughout the exposure, he consistently made the right plays off the dribble displaying a complete feel for the game. He uses his physical tools to influence his downhill scoring ability. He’s rarely knocked off this path and has proved to be a consistent ambidextrous finisher in a variety of ways. The only person able to match his athleticism was his teammate Mysonne Pollard.
Mysonne Pollard, 6’3, W, 2023
Mysonne is an explosive athletic left-handed wing with a preference for finishing everything at the rim. His athleticism immediately caught my attention but he showed glimpses of his comprehensive skillset. He was able to connect on multiple threes but he really stood out defensively. He has the potential to defend multiple positions because of his strength, length, and quickness.

PJ is an outstanding lead guard with a high basketball IQ and underrated strength. In an open gym style of games, he soon realized where everyone was comfortable on the court. It was astonishing to witness him thread the needle in pick and roll situations and find teammates in the halfcourt. He showed good touch on his runner/floater as well, proving to be a crafty finisher.
