Cooper Whitby – Thunder Supreme
Whitby posted one of the best shooting performances of the day at 9 am. He shot 4 of 7 from deep, hitting half his shots off the dribble and the other half off the catch. He’s always ready to take a shot when the ball finds him but doesn’t force opportunities. Even when he’s off balanced, he has the control to shoot his effortless jumper.
CHRISTOPHER MAXON CHRISTOPHER MAXON 6'1" | PG Fort Pierce Central | 2024 FL – Athletes Of Influence
Christopher may be the better shooting twin. He connected on 6 threes, showed his stepback in the midrange, and scored in the paint with various finishes. He and his brother fly around to make hustle plays. Maxon is a creative passer that dimed guys up with a no look outlet pass and alley oop pass.
Christian Maxon Christian Maxon 6'2" | CG Fort Pierce Central | 2025 State FL – Athletes Of Influence
19 points and enough highlights to make a mixtape later, Maxon continues to solidify his spot as one of the best freshmen in Florida. He’s a creative scorer that can light it up from deep and has a deep bag of moves to use on drives to the basket. His passing acumen is filled with baseline skip passes and simple passes that make you say “that’s the right play”.
Rajah Morgan – Elite Playmakers
Morgan looks the part of a rising prospect in his home state of Georgia. With his athletic build and jumper that stretches beyond the high school three, he’s equipped to score in easy ways. He put points on the board in transition and on drives with floaters.
CJ Wiley – OTOD
Wiley is a fiery competitor that contributes to both ends of the floor. OTOD pressures the entire game. Wiley is there to reap the benefits as steals and transition points rack up. Defensively, he slides his feet while staying physical and can step up to take a charge. On offense, he can finish through contact and use floaters to score in the paint.
Cameron Bryant – Sunshine Elite
Bryant showed two parts of his game on Sunday. He was the head of a devastating 1-2-2 press and forced turnovers all game. He’s a long 6’5 wing that can score on all three levels. Bryant showcased his IQ on the break as he slowed down to force fouls. In the halfcourt, he gets by defenders where he has the touch and creativity to make baskets in a crowded paint area.
Jaden Wilkerson – Sunshine Elite
Wilkerson was one of the strongest big men at the entire event. He’s 6’6 with a frame built for lineman duties. He’s a high level rebounder, has good footwork, and draws fouls as few others can. The freshman is physically stronger than most of his age group. Wilkerson rockets outlet passes to his guards for transition buckets. He showed mobility on the break with his handle.
Jarret Mauvais – Stampede
Mauvais was one of the best finishers among the 15U group. He gets downhill with ease and is only helped by the Stampede’s fast pace. The 2025 prospect averaged 17 points and 10 rebounds, and you can add in several steals as well.
