This weekend I headed to the Northwest for the West Coast Clash in Centralia,WA. I watched as many teams as I could but mainly focused on the 16U division.
There were 16 teams in the division so I made four All-16U Tournament teams featuring seven players per team.
Here is the 3rd team breakdown of the seven players:
Braeden Salme

Salme

Adna | 2024
WA
Adna/WA (NHC-Kelly 2024)
A skilled guard who can shoot it from the perimeter but clearly prefers to get downhill. He is a very good passer and the son of a coach thinks the game. He rebounds well for his size and uses hesitation moves to get to the rim to score. He has good length and a big IQ.
Madden Wilson PG 5’6 2024 Mountain View/WA (PNW Sixers-Black 2024)
One of the top pure point guards plays from the neck up. He is a top-notch on-ball defender and uses his speed and lateral quickness to keep his opponent in front of him. He calls plays and can dissect a defense. He has a good burst to get to the basket and will score or dish it out.
Wyatt Cline CG 6’0 2024 Ridgeline/WA (Built4Ball 2024)
A quick combo guard

Wyatt Cline CG 6’0 2024 Ridgeline/WA (Built4Ball 2024)
A quick combo guard with good open court speed and a clean shooting touch. He has nice ball rotation and will get to the rim and use a runner. He is feisty on defense as he rebounds well for a guard and collects steals. He was dominant in some parts of the weekend games.
Kayin Turner

Turner
6'5" | SF
Sunset | 2024
State
OR
Sunset/OR (Progress Elite 2024) (Pictured)
One of the more gifted players in the division. He is a plus athlete and will play both sides of the court to rebound and block shots. He can dunk the ball, hit the three and takes very few strides to get to the rim. He does need to keep his motor going throughout a game but has the obvious talent.
Trey Spencer SG 6’0 2024 Battle Ground/WA (PNW Sixers-White 2024)
A scoring guard makes it look easy during stretches. He is the twin brother of
Tait Spencer

and shoots it well like him from the 3pt line. He has a few moves to utilize. He is very quick with the ball in his hands and can euro his way on the break with good body control. He also happens to be a incredible fisherman when he is not hooping.
Khaleb Chisolm PG 5’9 2025 Lakes/WA (Special OPS 2024)
A thicker freshman lead guard formed a tough duo with Amaar Coleman. He has a nasty pull-up off the dribble and hits the three. He has a hard jab step and uses his impressive first step to get to the rim. He threw a few incredible dimes with pocket passes off of the pick and roll. He knows how to change speeds and looks to have a big impact at Lakes HS.
Amaar Coleman PG/CG 5’8 2025 Clover Park/WA (Special OPS 2024)
A lefty sniper with speed. He does favor his left hand but is still hard to keep in front of him. He can step back on his defender and has a quick burst of speed to get passed most defenders. He is very quick on the ball defensively and brings energy and scoring to the game.
