6’9 Alexander Letino of NLPB 803 16U is a load in the paint. Really thrives in the paint and has a nice touch around the rim. Has great footwork in the post to go alongside an array of moves. Rebounds the ball very well and positions himself well to score. Stays vertical on defense and makes it hard to score over the top of him. Runs the floor well and has a good touch from mid range.
5’10 Elijah White of Team Push Crawley 16U is so fun to watch. A pass first point guard who is super quick and crafty. Really breaks down defenders and creates for his teammates. High IQ player who knows exactly who to pass it to and where; puts players in a position to score. Controls the pace of the game and really changes speed well. Sits on defense and really keeps guys in front of him.
6’2 Marcus Farley Jr. of Team Together 16U is playing well again today. Consistently finding ways to score and impact the game. Makes winning plays and plays within the offense. Plays at his own pace and really gets to the rim and finishes. Has a quick first step that allows him to keep defenders on their heels. Draws contact at a high rate and lives at the free throw line.
6’2 Cannon Keziah of Flight 22 16U Elite really shoots the ball well. Has a great stroke that is smooth and quick which allows him to be lethal from three. Really finds the gaps in the offense and moves without the ball. A must find for the defense, and can heat up quickly. Hit 4 threes his last game shooting over 50 percent. Takes smart shots and is reliable for his team.
6’7 Xiaver Jones of DYSA Kings 17U is a defensive maniac. Literally blocks any and everything around him. Rebounds the ball very well and cleans up everything around the basket. Very long kid who uses his length to his advantage on both sides of the ball. Probably the best and most consistent shot blocker I’ve seen all summer. Big time rim protector!
6’5 Karon Boyd of Charlotte Hoyas 16U has a great frame and body. Strong player who muscles his way to the basket and finishes, has a really good touch around the basket. Gets out in transition and really runs the floor. Athletic and versatile defender. Has pretty good court vision and makes the correct simple pass which almost always leads to a good play for his team.
