Danny Rowe 6’9 Kings 2021 – I was blown away by Rowe’s playmaking ability. His best skill is his ability to put the ball on the deck draw two and then deliver to teammates. That’s a rare skill for a man his size, but it is something he did quite naturally.
Jaden Brownell 6’8 Hawks (Gray) 2021 (#7PHU 2021) – I’m fine if you want to categorize Brownell as a 3, he is a fluid runner, and even displays a little wiggle when he’s out in transition. He stretches the floor with his shooting and is a good passer from the post when doubled.
Garrett Keyhani 6’8 Different 2022 – All I heard was people yell to “get out on the shooter”, and it seemed like every time they did, Keyhani was the shooter. Outside of his 3 point ability, the 6’8 four-man displayed nimble feet and quality post moves around the bucket.
Caleb Nelson Caleb Nelson 6'7" | SF Carlsbad | 2021 State CA-S 6’6 Coastal Elite Slayers 2021 (#58PHSC 2021) – Nelson will probably end up being a 3 at the next level, however, he plays the 4 for CES. A sharpshooter and above-average athlete, Nelson’s ability to stretch the floor was his number one skill.
Takai Emerson-Hardy Takai Emerson-Hardy 6'7" | SF Vanden | 2022 State CA-N 6’6 WCE 2022 (featured image) (#5PHSC 2022) – TEH was one of the more athletic fours at the event. His best trait was his ability to take bigger guys out to the perimeter, and drive by them. He also was one of the best rebounders at the event, using his quick second job to corral boards.
