Upward Stars Richmond
6'2 '21 Kylon Lewis- The guard prospect has easily been the most consistent performer for this
Upward squad since their first game at our Southern Jam. He has been scoring at will since his
arrival and has done so with great efficiency. Lewis has long arms and utilizes his length well,
especially to disrupt action defensively. He's unselfish and displays a pretty strong IQ when
creating scoring opportunities, for himself or others, and usually only takes shots that he can
make.
5'10 '21 Alexavier Braxter- This Upward Stars team has been led by Lewis, but Braxter has
been posing problems for opponents all week. The strong-bodied guard is the most unique player
on this team, given his frame of a fullback and skillset of a lead guard. He absorbs contact well
and finishes most of his chances around the basket. Braxter has a solid feel for the game and
regularly makes nice passes to teammates.
Florence International
6'1 '22 Lebron Thomas- The main bright spot for Florence International was Thomas, who
scored at a solid rate while applying constant defensive pressure. He has a nice, athletic frame
and understands how to properly utilize it, especially in transition, where he absorbed contact
and finished at the rim. Thomas was the youngest player on the floor, but one wouldn't know,
since he is already quite polished.
Academy Prep
5'7 '22 Elijah White- The point guard has easily been among the two or three best players at
Guilford College today, and one could truly argue that he outperformed the whole field. Without
question, White was the most intelligent player on display, beautifully conducting offense for his
team and showcasing an incredibly natural feel when creating for others. He's somewhat slight
in frame, but his arms are long and he is a very disruptive defender. It would be difficult to find
much fault in White's Saturday performances.
5'8 '22 Cornelius Cason- There were many contributors for this Academy Prep team, but one
could clearly see how Cason fits nicely as a glue-guy. He doesn't require the ball in his hands,
but has a strong enough handle to create offense whenever necessary. Cason shot the ball well
throughout the day and made his presence felt on defense. He was a terrific complementary
guard alongside the aforementioned White, given his shooting and decisiveness with the ball.
Greensboro Warriors
5'11 '22 Antione Shaw- The high-motor wing was pretty memorable during their last game of
the day, scrambling the opposition while filling in the gaps on offense. Shaw rebounded the ball
quite well and converted numerous second-chance opportunities. It'll be interesting to see how
Shaw continues to grow, given his physical gifts and phenomenal work ethic on the floor.
