Team: Raleigh Raiders
Team 12U
2025 Cam'ren Reyes / Height: 5'5 Position: PG/ SG
Coaches Talk: combo guard plays hard on both ends and is a solid playmaker with good vision and a jumper. The kid is tough enough as he can play the 1, 2, and 3 position. He is fun to watch.
2025 Marcel Freeman / Height: 5'6 Position: SG/ SF
Coaches Talk: this kid's speed and strength allow him to play in the paint comfortably but he is also a knockdown shooter with a great IQ. Freeman is a great defensive presence, as he leads his team in steals in every game. Marcel is a kid that can go for 20 in any game.
Team 16U
2021 T.J. Walton / Height: 5'11 Position: PG/ SG
Coaches Talk: Walton is a coach's dream PG who is a great playmaker, hardnose defender, a player with Curry-like range and accuracy. He can also go get one in the paint when needed; exciting player to watch.
2021 Malachi Barton / Height: 6'0 Position: SG
Coaches Talk: Barton can flat out go on both ends, as this kid's energy is infectious. He can go for 20 in a heartbeat, has great handles with next level speed and strength to finish through.
