6’1 ’29 Damari Smith (Team CP3)
There’s no denying that Smith is a clear difference-maker for this highly talented squad. He’s a highly skilled guard with a tight, crafty handle, polished creation sense, and the ability to fill it up in a variety of ways. Smith makes intelligent decisions with the ball in his hands, mixes it up as a scorer from all levels, and dictates the offense with pace. He’s a knockdown shooter with deep range and the ability to hit jumpers off the catch or bounce. Smith is a solid defender and rebounder for his size/position. He easily stood out among the top guards on display.
6’6 ’27 Finn Collini (Save Sports)
It’s easy to appreciate players who understand and embrace their identity on the court, and few guys do that better than Collini. He’s extremely long and wiry with incredible perimeter shooting ability. Collini is a phenomenal spot-up threat who simply knows how to position himself to constantly exploit openings within the defense. Between his length, quick release, and ability to hit standstill jumpers or shots coming off movement, he has no trouble finding ways to apply pressure. Collini is an active defender and rebounder with a willingness to attack closeouts and make the extra pass.
6’6 ’29 Ayo Awosanya (Elite One)
In terms of pure production, few players are able to make a more consistent impact than Awosayna. The guy simply knows how to make his presence felt. He’s a versatile, well-rounded piece who plays hard, toggles between multiple positions, and does a healthy amount of everything on both ends of the floor. Awosanya is a terrific rebounder whose blend of size, athleticism, and nonstop energy allow him to establish an extremely strong presence on the glass. He also defends multiple positions with relative ease. Offensively, Awosanya is very comfortable at filling in the gaps, making plays with the ball in his hands, or mixing it up as a scorer from all levels.
6’3 ’28 Rickey Torrence (Warriors Elite)
Although this Warriors Elite squad has several important pieces, Torrence consistently seems to stand out through his intriguing array of skills. He’s a long, wiry wing with nice size and the ability to attack opponents in a variety of different ways. Torrence can knock down jumpers, attack off the bounce, and finish at the basket, but also finds ways to post-up smaller players and use his size to his advantage. He competes well on the glass and positions himself to make plays defensively. Torrence should only continue to progress over the next twelve months.
