Jimel Cofer Jimel Cofer 6'4" | CG Universal Academy | 2021 State TX – Max Levels Elite – G
Cofer finished with 19 points in Max Levels Elite’s loss to Judah Nation and got to the bucket with ease. The strongest attribute of his game is his ability to get to the basket and finish through contact. He is also solid defensively as he drew a charge and blocked a shot while playing great perimeter defense.
Eddrin Bronson Eddrin Bronson 6'3" | PG Tampa Catholic | 2023 State #266 Nation FL – Judah Nation – G
Eddrin Bronson Eddrin Bronson 6'3" | PG Tampa Catholic | 2023 State #266 Nation FL was a human flamethrower in Judah Nation’s 65-44 win over Max Levels Elite as he finished with 23 points while knocking down four three-pointers. He shoots best off the catch and possesses a good combination of confidence and range. Bronson is also a solid finisher when driving to the basket and he finishes well through contact.
Jah Quinones Jah Quinones 6'4" | CG Lake Highland Prep | 2022 State FL – Judah Nation – G
Quinones was the primary ball-handler in Judah Nation’s win over Max Levels Elite and showed that he is a great floor general. He finished with nine points and took excellent care of the ball. He has a nice floater and also showed that his range stretches out to NBA range. Quinones also dished out multiple assists including an excellent lob to his big man in the half-court.
Osiris Nalls – BTI – G
Osiris Nalls was easily the best shooter I saw all day today and his ability to score in the pick and roll was on display. Any time that a P.L.U.T.O. defender would go under a screen he would just shoot it from multiple feet behind the three-point line and was making these deep threes at a high rate.
Sam Howery Sam Howery 6'1" | PG St. Mary’s | 2022 State CO – P.L.U.T.O. – G
Howery was one of the best two-way point guards that I saw on Saturday as he is a great passer and finisher and also a scrappy defender that forces turnovers. He has the ability to finish through traffic but his passing ability was what stuck out to me in P.L.U.T.O.’s win over BTI. He always finds the open man and gets all of his teammates involved.
Bennie Mcduffie Bennie Mcduffie 5'6" | PG Mandarin | 2022 State FL – North Florida United – G
Bennie Mcduffie Bennie Mcduffie 5'6" | PG Mandarin | 2022 State FL played with great energy in North Florida United’s game against SSA and he played great defense. He used his quickness to blow by defenders and finish at the rim and he also played great on-ball defense.
