A smart guard that knows how to play and is a very skilled passer.
Collin Clark – 2025 – G/F – Yanders Law
Even as a 6’6” freshman, Clark has a lot of abilities on the floor. He plays like a forward on the defensive end guarding the paint but shows a versatile scoring ability with some guard skills Clark can handle the ball in addition to having a smooth jumper spotting up from three. The high motor wing has great upside if his skills continue to develop.

Aiden Hanks – 2025 – SF – Michigan Playmakers
A truly versatile player that is a real contributor on both ends of the floor. The lengthy 6’3” wing can match up with nearly anyone on the floor and defend them well. He has good handle and scores it very effectively going to the basket. Hanks is very active on the glass and fills up the box sheet in all areas.
Luke Lawrence – 2025 – SG – Kyle Guy Elite
One of the better shooters at the 15U level of the tournament. An absolutely knockdown shooter with great form that was just not missing when he got set out on the perimeter.

More than just a shooter though, Lawrence is a high IQ guard that is a very skilled passer and made some plays off the dribble.
Memphis McDowell – 2025 – PG – The Family
A quick and active point guard that plays well on both ends of the floor. A tough on ball defender that really works and gives opposing ball handlers issues with his aggressiveness and quickness.

Raken Vargas – 2025 – PG – Team Temple
Vargas is a skilled and high IQ playmaker with his great ability to get into the paint and create. He is extremely quick with the ball to blow by defenders and get wherever he wants with the ball, always seeing the floor well. A good passer that not only distributed the ball but also scored it well himself getting into the paint and around the mid-range.
