Xavion Roberson Xavion Roberson 6'0" | PG Meade Highschool ( MD ) | 2023 MD | DMV Stags
Roberson was one of the better catch and shoot options throughout the weekend. He showed off college three point range with over two made threes a game. He can hit midrange pull ups, get to the free throw line at a good rate, and finish through contact. Roberson can be a scoring option while playing solid defense on the other end.
Kashantis Anderson | Man II Man Soldiers
Anderson used his skillset to produce all weekend. The well-built combo guard scored in the midrange, showing off a potent pull up jumper. His ability to create his own offense showed up time and time again. His frame, shooting, and ability to score in the paint is making him a coveted D2 prospect.
Matai Baptiste | Team Charlotte
The 6’8 forward continues to show flashes of his do it all ability. Equipped with a college ready body, defensive switchability, and a grab and go mentality, Baptiste can play several positions. Versatility is the name of the game for the Canadian 2023 prospect.
Isaiah Otyaluk Isaiah Otyaluk 6'7" | SF Word Of God | 2024 State NC | No Guts No Glory
Otyaluki’s length, athleticism, and wing skills made him one of the most intriguing prospects in the area. The 2024 prospect found ways to produce on both ends. His quickness and long arms helped him defend 2-4 and effect shots in the paint. He scores off putbacks, in transition, with pull up jumpers in the midrange, and out of the post. Otyaluki left multiple games with multiple threes.
Amari Willis | Metro Elite Basketball Club
Willis landing on all tournament teams is becoming second nature at this point. The 6’6 wing is athletically on another level than his peers. One low scoring game kept the unsigned senior from averaging 20 points for the weekend. He’s a big time rebounder for the position, a dangerous downhill attacker, and an above the rim finisher. We’re used to Willis putting up numbers on the circuit, but it’s his level of defensive production that made the difference in him earning this spot.
