allows him to move without the ball play out to closeouts and get open looks. His three-point shooting was hot as usual but he’s really improved As a shooter off the bounce. Will is such an underrated and undervalued defensively he can guard either guard position as 6’4 UCLA is getting so much more than a shooter.
Jaylin Stewart Jaylin Stewart 6'7" | SG Garfield | 2023 State #86 Nation WA SG 6’6 Garfield High School Seattle, WA
Stewart possesses good size and strength at the shooting guard position. One of the top shooters in the country. He caught fire against Air Nado this weekend draining five 3’s in the game. Already a state champion under Brandon Roy at Garfield High School Steward has the size skill athleticism and pedigree to be the top Prospect on the West Coast. As Banchero graduates his role and opportunities for the rotary will increase tremendously. With Offers from Arizona, Washington, Washington State

Neal Is another two-way prospect that coaches love at 6’5 his ability to defend three positions makes him very valuable And a guy that can impact winning. His skill set allows him to be great playing out of closeouts where he’s able to showcase his mid-range game and get to the rim and use his athleticism to finish over bigger players. His lateral quickness and wingspan were one of the more impressive things this weekend on the prospect that can do a little bit of everything Arizona State is going to love matching him up with opposing teams leading scorers.

John is a three-point specialist off the catch or off the dribble. His IQ allows him to know how to space the floor and find gaps in the defense where he can get his shot off. His quick trigger and athleticism allow him to shoot over smaller defenders. He is a player that you can run off of screens at the next level. Averaging over 25 points for the weekend he’s looked to be playing with extreme confidence and Creighton is getting a four-star Player and in a five-star system.”
