Tamarrien Thorpe – Stranahan
2022 Tamarrien Thorpe looks to continue his hot shooting after eight 3-pointers against Stoneman Douglas. Per latest information, Thorpe’s previous high was four against Cooper City and North Miami. In addition, he has averaged 9.6 points and 4.1 rebounds per game. The Mighty Dragons are 13-1 overall.
Tynan Becker Tynan Becker 6'7" | SF Sagemont | 2023 State FL – Sagemont
2023 Tynan Becker Tynan Becker 6'7" | SF Sagemont | 2023 State FL is an athletic wing for the Lions. The 6-foot-7 Becker can shoot from the perimeter while using his length and athleticism to attack the rim. He can affect the game in a lot of ways on both ends. To my previous point, Becker is much more athletic than players of his size. He has helped Sagemont to a 13-4 overall record.
Jimel Lane Jimel Lane 6'7" | PF Palmetto | 2022 State FL – Miami Palmetto
2022 Jimel Lane Jimel Lane 6'7" | PF Palmetto | 2022 State FL is one of the better players in this showcase. The 6-foot-7 guard/wing is averaging 25.1 points and 10.6 rebounds per game. Moreover, he is 30-of-83 (36 percent) from 3-point range. Lane has nine double-doubles on the season. He has scored 30 or more points three times and twenty or more in 12 of 14 recorded contests.
Alexander Lloyd Alexander Lloyd 6'4" | SG Westminster | 2025 State #64 Nation FL – Westminster Academy
2025 Alexander Lloyd Alexander Lloyd 6'4" | SG Westminster | 2025 State #64 Nation FL just keeps getting better and better. The 6-foot-4 guard can score in bunches with unlimited range. His shooting is what has really impressed me. Lloyd can knock shots in motion off the dribble. We know he can create off the bounce and finish at the rim. His basketball IQ and finesse is extremely high. Projecting to be a high major.
