Bennett Olujic Bennett Olujic 6'7" | SF Mount Si | 2023 State WA | Emerald City Basketball 2023
Bennett is a 6’6 guard who leads by example. He is a very coachable kid, being the guard to initiate the offense majority of times down the court. Bennett was a swiss army knife for his coach. He is a solid ballhandler, who can break down his defender or use a screen to create chaos. He is an excellent shooter from outside, and he can post up in the paint, and has excellent footwork. Bennett showed a little bit of everything during this weekend’s tournament and will be exciting to continue to watch grow.
Jaylon Blackwell | Emerald City Basketball 2023
(Picture featured on the article)
When I say that Jaylon is QUICK… I mean this kid can go, very high motor! Jaylon was a wizard breaking down his defender off the dribble with his tight ball handling. He was an amazing playmaker finding his open teammates cutting to the rim or outside for the jumper. Jaylon is a fearless guard who doesn’t care who is in front of him, he will make a play. When Jaylon gets in the paint he isn’t afraid of contact, as a matter of fact, he seeks it out. He gets to the free-throw line early and often because he is so quick and agile. Jaylon is also a dog on defense, creating turnovers and havoc on the ball handlers. He was really fun to watch as he just wanted to win more than anyone else on the court.
Jamil Miller Jamil Miller 6'6" | SG Gonzaga Prep | 2023 State WA | Seattle Rotary 2023
Jamil is just one of those guards you see and just can’t wait to see him play. With his 6’4 frame and his amazing athleticism, Jamil is just a force on the court. He can shoot it from 20 ft, he can blow right past you with his handle and quickness, and he gives 100% effort. Jamil is always looking to make plays for his teammates and is always trying to find open space for his teammates to find him. This kid can go, and the future is bright for him!
Sherrell McCullum Jr. | Seattle Rotary 2023
Sherrell is a 6’6 Forward that makes you feel his presence on the court at all times. He is a very strong post player looking to get to the rim no matter what. He is a very active rebounder always trying to create extra opportunities on offense and secures the rebound on defense to get the offense in transition very quickly. Sherrell is a very sneaky athletic shot blocker too, as you don’t think he’s going to jump and block your shot, and then you see it flying off the backboard or out of bounds.
Noel Davis | Seattle Rotary 2024
This kid Noel is the real deal. He is a solid playmaker with great IQ, an excellent shooter off the dribble, and is very good at creating space for himself and others with his ball-handling. Noel also makes tough shots look so easy with a smooth demeanor and excellent composure. This kid flies around on defense getting in the passing lanes, coming with the double teams, and getting long rebounds, and getting out in transition. Noel was a pleasure to watch because you could tell he just loves the game and wants to win.
