Continue ReadingPlayers who do the little things have been difference makers over the last two events. Whether you’re wearing your hard hat on offense or scrapping it out on the defensive end, it leads to wins. The prospects below bring a blue-collar mentality to every game they suit up.
Kamryn Mestas | Fab So Elite
Mestas made his presence felt as a downhill driver. He picked his spots as part of a stacked team to get downhill hill for paint touches. His knack for drawing fouls and grabbing offensive boards as a guard separated Fab So Elite from Team Daum. He has great body control on drives to the basket. He uses his size well on the defensive end.
De’rayne Franklin | LA Broncos
6’3, athletic, and competitive as all get out. Franklin has a knack for making through effort. He showed his chops on the offensive boards. The 2024 guard extended several possessions late in the game with several putbacks. He finished well through contact while matched up with a guy with a similar skill set.
Kamari Haston | Ball4Lyfe
I’ve liked Haston all circuit long. He comes to play every single game and disrupts ball handlers. The 2023 guard is a pest to play against but someone you’d love to have on your team. He does all scrappy things that lead to deflections and steals. Offensively he’s excellent off ball. Haston is always in the right place for second chance opportunities. He is a good cutter, draws fouls, and can hit the outside shot at a respectable rate.
Kyle Jones Kyle Jones 6'2" | CG Paxon | 2023 FL | North Florida United
Jones is built like a middle linebacker and plays defense with the same reckless abandon. His build and wingspan allow him to cover several positions and double as a weak side shot blocker. He plays with a high motor, allowing him to make offensive and defensive plays in transition. His ability to play with physicality looks next-level ready.
Nate Boakye | G1 Sports
Boakye is a high-octane defender with the wheels to make plays with the ball in his hands. He will defend 94 feet, put pressure on the ball until he forces a turnover. As an off ball defender, he’s always looking to get in passing lanes. Offensively, he puts pressure on the rim and finds teammates, but his offensive rebounding as a 6’ guard lands him on this list. He had one of the tournament’s best second and third jumps. There were times he missed a shot and was back on the ball before anyone else could leave the floor.
