The tournament provided a good opportunity for the guys to work on their game and get ready for the upcoming season. Here were a few players who played well enough to increase their stock!
Kaden Brown-G-2026-Kirk Middle School
Kaden is a 5’8, 130 pound shooting guard who really stood out due to his shooting efficiency behind the arc. Kaden can also use his ball handling ability to make floaters or to create mid range pull-ups. Kaden really showed why he can compete on the JV and Varsity level as an eighth grader, which was because of his IQ of the game. Defensively, he competes and can keep up with older guys. If he continues playing against older players, he will be able to contribute on the D1-D2 level in the future.
Corey Mulholland-G-2024-Passiac County Tech
Corey is a 6’1, 165 pound combo guard who loves to compete on both ends of the court. Offensively, Corey can shoot behind the arc using a screen, find his teammates with his court vision, or attack the basket with his ball handling. Defensively, Corey can defend well and has a good overall motor. If Corey continues getting stronger, I can see him playing D2 on the next level.
Jahrel Vigo-G-2025-Central Catholic High School
Jahrel is a 6’1, 190 pound guard who can play both guard positions because of his ball handling and shooting ability. Jahrel shoots the ball efficiently, finishes at the rim, and plays under control. Defensively, Jahrel has good on-the-ball skills and has good anticipation. If Jahrel continues to grow and get stronger, he will be able to contribute on the D1-D2 level.
Jameer DeShields-G-2024-Howard High School
Jameer is a 5’11, 145 pound guard who uses his body on the offensive end well. When penetrating to the basket, he can finish on both sides. Jameer handles the ball well, has a good IQ, and doesn’t hesitate to make the extra or correct pass to his teammates. Jameer also is not afraid to take the big shot. Defensively, Jameer is vocal with his teammates, and has good speed and agility. If he continues getting stronger, and working on outside shot, I can see him contributing at least on the D2 level.
Rainer Torres-C-2022-The Patrick School
Rainer Torres is a 6’9, 220 pound center who has the potential of playing D1 on the next level. Rainer moves his feet well for his size and can defend all five positions. He covers a lot of ground with his length. Offensively, he catches the ball in traffic, he can put the ball on the floor to create a path to the basket, or step outside the 3-point line to knock down shots. Overall, Rainer is still learning the game and can improve his stamina. If placed in the right system, he will be a steal for a D1 program.
