6’1 ’26 Jalen Mills (South View)
It likely goes without saying, but this South View team is simply better when Jalen Mills is on the floor. He completely sets the tone while leading by example on both ends of the floor. Mills controls the offense as the main creator and scoring threat, applying strong downhill pressure, finishing at the basket, and setting up others at a quality rate. He’s arguably at his best when attacking, but is more than capable of knocking down jumpers along the perimeter. Mills is a very tough, rugged defender who mirrors opposing guards and forces turnovers at a nice rate. He’s also a useful rebounder for his size/position.
6’5 ’27 Kasimir Gibson (South View)
Given his blend of size, skill, and athleticism, it’s easy to see the intrigue with Kasimir Gibson. At 6-foot-5 with an enticing frame and flashes of versatility, he has the tools to be a matchup problem for opponents. Gibson displays natural instincts on both ends of the floor, but is truly just beginning to harness his abilities as a long-term piece. He does a little bit of everything while showing the ability to guard multiple positions and operate in various roles on offense. Gibson knocked down several jumpers from beyond the arc while mixing in downhill drives and quality looks in the midrange. The potential is clear.
6’0 ’29 JT Williams (Cresset Christian)
After taking a few months to get comfortable, it appears JT Williams is ready to take the next step in his progression. He’s a dynamic, heady floor general who offers great balance between scoring and playmaking. Williams utilizes his crafty handle and quick first step to reliably break down opponents off the dribble. He touches the paint at a nice rate and sees the floor well as a passer. Williams can score the ball from all levels and apply pressure in transition, but looks to make the right play whenever possible. He’s a pesky on-ball defender who will only become more imposing as he adds strength.
6’1 ’27 Jayvon Foster (Seventy-First)
Despite some ups and downs as a team, Jayvon Foster highlighted a lot of appealing qualities throughout this contest. He’s a very smooth shooter and creator who finds success with or without the ball in his hands. Foster showed the ability to heat up quickly from distance and knock down several jumpers from beyond the arc. That being said, he also attacked closeouts whenever necessary, set up others, and finished or got to the line. Foster defends with nice energy at the point of attack.
6’3 ’27 Christopher Wooten (Fayetteville Christian)
Given his ability to produce within the flow of the action, Christopher Wooten had no issue making his presence felt in this showing. He’s a natural glue-guy who plays hard, outworks opponents, and adapts to whatever his team requires. Wooten is a pesky defender and physical rebounder who simply knows how to do the little things on both ends of the floor. He crashes the glass hard and finishes well around the basket. Wooten sees the floor well to make the extra pass when available.
