Standouts:
Guilherme Tesch Guilherme Tesch 6'8" | SF North Broward Prep | 2023 FL – North Broward Prep
It was another solid outing for Guilherme Tesch Guilherme Tesch 6'8" | SF North Broward Prep | 2023 FL with 19 points. The 6-foot-8 wing knocked down five 3-pointers to put his two-game total to eleven. Tesch has been impressive with his ability to stretch the floor. 2022 Justin Abson Justin Abson 6'9" | PF North Broward Prep | 2022 State #230 Nation FL added a game-high 22 points. The 6-foot-9 forward has methodically been one of the best players in South Florida over his high school career.
Esteban Lluberes Esteban Lluberes 5'10" | PG Riviera Prep | 2022 State FL – Riviera Prep
2022 Esteban Lluberes Esteban Lluberes 5'10" | PG Riviera Prep | 2022 State FL scored a team-high 20 points for the Bulldogs. The 5-foot-7 guard looked great on defense moving his hips and providing tight on-ball pressure. Lluberes is a gamer with a high motor on both ends of the floor. He plays above his size and is not afraid to attack the rim. I like his moxy late in games.
Osmar Garcia Araujo Osmar Garcia Araujo 6'7" | PF Lanier | 2023 State GA – Riviera Prep
2023 Osmar Garcia Araujo Osmar Garcia Araujo 6'7" | PF Lanier | 2023 State GA scored 19 points against the Jaguars. The 6-foot-7 forward moves really well in the open court and has fantastic footwork. I thought his movement around the rim was smooth and he made the extra pass when warranted. I think his coaching staff wanted him to be a bit more aggressive early, particularly shooting from the outside. Overall, Garcia Araujo is fundamentally sound with good size at the forward spot.
Kolby King Kolby King 6'2" | PG Pembroke Pines | 2022 State FL – Pembroke Pines Charter
2022 Kolby King Kolby King 6'2" | PG Pembroke Pines | 2022 State FL scored 24 points against the Bulldogs. Overall, I think he was the most dynamic scorer on the floor. King flashed his athleticism at the rim and knocked down a few 3-pointers. He was explosive into the second level and finished with either hand. King just has a burst with the ball in his hands. He is committed to St. John’s. 2022 Caelum Ethridge Caelum Ethridge 6'3" | SG Pembroke Pines | 2022 State FL added 18 points. The 6-foot-5 guard hit multiple 3-pointers and scored at the rim using his length. Ethridge is very good at using his body to score in traffic. He is more athletic with a good handle than some might give him credit for. Ethridge is committed to Catawba.
