These guys really popped during their time on the court, expect them to begin to garner some real attention over the next few circuit months!
Jeremiah Green Jeremiah Green 6'2" | CG Sunrise Christian Academy | 2025 #60 Nation KS 2025 6’3 Denton Guyer High School (Lee Green Basketball)
Jeremiah is a highly skilled and dominant guard with his ability to hang in the air and dominate out of the post. I had to double check with someone on his age with how effortlessly he was scoring and manipulating the defense. He has some of the best footwork that I have seen at a player that young, and he knows how to use it to his advantage at all three levels of the court. Whether he is stopping on a dime to rise up in the midrange, or euro-stepping around the help defender, Green always seems to be one step ahead of the defense both mentally and physically! He is such a smart player who understands how to attack and use space on the basketball court. He is a very shifty player with how low to the ground he plays, and how quickly he can turn and create space with a live dribble. Where he really keeps the defense off balance is his willingness to shoot in the midrange off the stop and pop. It always catches defenders back peddling, and when they are waiting for it, he gives them a head fake and takes off for the rim. Green is a very mature combo guard with the ability to get downhill and get into the teeth of the paint and make good decisions for his teammates. He has a great motor paired with good end to end speed, that allows him to finish at will on the fast break. After seeing him perform at such a high level, I was not surprised to hear that he had been invited to the Team USA 17U National Training Camp, announced this week. His stock is continuing to rise, and after watching him play he is likely one of the top guards in that 2025 class.
Trent Pane 2025 6’0 Allen High School (Crab5 16U)
Trent was one of the most impressive 2025’s in attendance at the GASO with his ability to do it all on both ends of the court, even at the guard position. He has an impressive leaping ability to rebound the ball, finish at the rim, reject shots and rise up to create space with his jumper. I was blown away by his non stop motor, and how he used his aggressiveness to go coast to coast and finish in the paint. He routinely snatched defensive rebounds, and used his end to end speed to beat the team down the court to finish or make the right outlet pass ahead. Trent was a big reason why this 16U team won their bracket at the GASO, beating older and stronger competition through his nonstop energy and his aggressiveness to score from all three levels of the floor. He is a sharp shooting guard off the bounce, who can shoot from beyond the arc and in the midrange, depending on what the defense gave him. His shooting is probably the second best aspect of his game, next to his athleticism and aggressiveness. Payne is a combo guard who can easily develop all of the right point guard instincts to allow him to become incredibly successful at the next level. Keep your eye on this one before he pops!

Calvin Murphy III Calvin Murphy III 6'0" | PG Dream City Christian | 2025 State AZ III 2025 6’0 Jack Yates High School (Houston Hoops 15U EYBL)
Calvin is a true point guard with a great feel for the game and to create for his teammates in both the half court and the full court. I was very impressed with his quickness with a live dribble and the ease in which he knifed through the defense to create confusion by drawing a second defender. When he drew a second defender, time and time again he made the right kick-out pass to punish the defense. His creation and overall feel for the court really stood out and is a big reason why his team had any success. I loved his foot speed and how he used his shiftiness to make the defense work when they attempted to pick him up full court. He shook off full court pressure and continued to effect the game with his vision and how well he manipulated the defense in the half court was very impressive for his young age. I would like to see him get more aggressive with his shot selection, especially in the midrange where you can tell he has put the work in. He is a smart shooter who really seems to only take shots when he has the supreme advantage, and is comfortable using post fade aways to create separation. Murphy is one to keep tabs on as he continues to grow for sure!
Bryce Jackson Bryce Jackson 6'5" | SG Shadow Creek | 2025 TX 2025 6’5 Shadow Creek High School (Houston Hoops 17U EYBL)
Bryce is an incredibly lanky freshman with all the tools in the world to grow into a tremendous playmaking wing. His long arms and ability to move his feet make him a very versatile and effective defender. He is very consistent when he has the basketball, and knows when to catch and shoot, put the ball on the floor and attack the rim or look to make the extra pass. Jackson seems to grow another leap every time I go see him play. His shot making off of the catch is real weapon, and he is very consistent in the corners and on the wings. His floor spacing, switchability and fearlessness for his age are all incredibly strong indicators that this young man has a real career ahead of him.
Cedric Jones Jr. 2025 5’10 Bryant Junior High School, AK (Crab5 16U)
Cedric is an intelligent and sharp shooting guard who spaces the floor from everywhere on the court, but thrives out of the corners and the wings. He is great at moving without the basketball, and waiting for the defense to rotate over. His ability to fill into space on the backside of the defense allows him to consistently be a floor spacing option that his teammates always seem to find at just the right time. He has a surprisingly high release for his size, allowing him to shoot over the top of the defense. He displayed true point guard instincts with his ability to create opportunities with a live dribble and operating out of the pick and roll. His ability to see the floor through the pick and roll allows him to be a complete weapon at the point guard spot.
