Nathan Esau | 6’1 G | B&B Academy 2024 White
Esau was a bit of a quiet scorer. He didn’t take a lot of shots but when he did they were high percentage shots. He got his teammates involved if his shot wasn’t there. Long and lengthy playmaker with a high IQ for the game.
Rielly Kleeberger | 6’1 G | MN Rise 2024
Kleeberger was a big time scoring threat for a solid MN Rise team. Whether it was off the catch or off the dribble he was going to get to the rim and finish. Didn’t shy away from contact and wasn’t afraid to challenge bigs at the cup. He had some great separation combos and he’s another guard who changes pace and direction well.
Carson Rashid | 6’0 G | 212 Basketball Academy
Rashid has a fantastic jumper of the dribble. Elevates and times it well to catch his defender off guard. He doesn’t dance much with the defense and just gets to the rim. He came through with some tough shots for his team including a heavily contested three late game. Carson is a competitor.
Uriah Tenette (2025) | 6’0 G | New Mexico D1 2024 Medina
I watched Tenette first weekend of April in OKC and it seems like he’s already improved his game. He is a tough guard to stay in front of. His ability to stop on a dime and pull up is so advanced for his age. Playing against older and bigger competition he wasn’t able to get to the rim as much but he was able to attack and consistently connect on a spin move fadeaway that was pure.
Zane Gaul (2025) | 6’10 F | New Mexico D1 2024 Medina
As a 6’10 2025 Gaul is already going to draw attention to himself. The fact that he was able to stretch the floor and knock down the three made him even more of a threat. As one of the tallest players on the floor he grabbed quite a few boards and converted on multiple putback or tip in layups. I would love to see him run the big in a pick and pop or ghost situation.
Owen Kemper | 6’0 G | Minnesota Heat 2024 Jones
Kemper is a worker. He was able to contain some quick guards from New Mexico D1. He scored from all three levels in a variety of fashions, but he can flat out shoot it. Very hard working two way guard.
