Hubbard is a silky smooth two guard that has a feathery touch from beyond the arc and pulling up in the 15 foot area.

Lafortune was a threat from deep for the Tennessee squad in the games we caught.
Koston McReynolds (IE Blaze Select 17U)
McReynolds has size, length, and can really shoot it from deep! You can just call him Mr. McBuckets!
Quinton Hunter Quinton Hunter 6'1" | PG Lockport Township | 2023 IL (Illinois T-Wolves 16U)
Hunter is a lefty point guard that drained threes at a high clip throughout the game we caught the T-Wolves play. Quick release with arc on it.
Andrew Soenksen Andrew Soenksen 6'8" | PF Plainfield East | 2023 State IL (Illinois T-Wolves 16U)
Long and lanky small forward with a thin frame. His best skill is his ability to knock down spot up shots which will carry him throughout his career.

Bates was straight fire from beyond the arc. Hit pull up threes over and over again in a 31 point performance. Shoots it with a lot of confidence.
Joshua Paige & Caleb Paige (Auburn Raptors 17U)
The Paige twins brought it for the Auburn Raptors. Both 6’5” wings showed three and D potential as they connected from deep on multiple shots.
Tanner Walton (Griffin Elite 17U)
Walton is a multi-skilled guard and one of those plus skills is his ability to shoot the rock from beyond the arc!
Ryan Kelly (NEBC 17U)
Kelly has plus size as a combo forward and his role for NEBC is knocking down spot up threes in transition and when his guards kick.
Damani Barley (NEBC 17U)
Barley had it working in one game hitting a handful of threes as the wiry two guard has a smooth offensive game with range on his shot.
Bryson Dawkins (Alabama Celtics 17U)
Dawkins is known for his athleticism, but he is much more than that as he has a nice looking lefty stroke as well.
Nykeem Gainer (Alabama Celtics 17U)
Gainer shot it well throughout the weekend for the Celtics and kept getting better from three as the weekend went on.

Smooth operator on the perimeter that displayed an ability to get his shot off from anywhere on the perimeter.
