Joey Cabana Joey Cabana 6'2" | CG Chelsea | 2024 State MI (2024, Chelsea)
Cabana took over in the last third of the event. It was like as the event went longer, he got even stronger. Cabana showed big time ups with a couple of showtime finishes from above the rim. He displayed the ability to switch hands and change direction on a dime in mid movement. Cabana was bouncy under the rim attacking the glass and showed range on his jumper, hitting a deep triple with a hand in his face.
Stevie Elam Stevie Elam 6'2" | CG Adrian | 2025 State MI (2025, Adrian)
Elam was as good as advertised at Flight Hankamp. Actually, probably better. He was a big factor on D with his willingness and ability to guard the entire length of the floor. Elam made plays and created when the ball was in his hands. He hit multiple triples and showed a lot of touch on his passes when it was needed.
Lance Stone (2025, Detroit Renaissance)
Stone will be a top notch playmaker in this state for the next 4 years. He consistently created off the dribble and could handle with both hands nd go either way. Stone could hit a dime with his bounce pass up the floor. His hesitation moves and head fakes will be weapons for years to come.
Darryl Thompkins Jr. (2024, Michigan Collegiate)
Thompkins Jr. has a really mature game. He was incredibly fast up the court with the ball in his hands, but was always under control with a plan of attack. There were many times at Flight Hankamp that Thompkins Jr. simply beat the defense down the floor. This created so many high percentage scoring opportunities for himself and for his teammates. His downhill style put a ton of pressure on the defense.
Nathan Johnson Nathan Johnson 6'5" | SG Grand Rapids Christian | 2024 State MI (2024, Grand Rapids Christian)
Johnson sent a message to the state of Michigan at Flight Hankamp. On the perimeter, he created space for his jumper with his ball handling. Johnson also flashed a nice crossover move to the right that created a lane to the rim. He blocked a handful of shots on D and hit multiple triples as well. The most impressive thing about Johnson was his leadership, exemplified by the way he talked and communicated on the defensive end.
