Darius Brant, a 2023 from @WmAllenBball is a tough/physical forward with a projectable shooting stroke and has some mobility as a switchable defender. #Throwdown22 pic.twitter.com/kAqHxiHS6j

2025 @havenbasketball big man Jahi Curtis caught my eye last game set with his motor on the glass, speed as a rim runner, and footwork/patience to create better scoring angles for himself in the post. #Throwdown22 pic.twitter.com/jMW2pOiMxq

2025 @BurrsBasketball & @TeamFinalEYBL forward Isaac Cole stood out last game set showing some wiggle as a half-court creator, moving well on both ends of the floor for his size, while also even hitting an open standstill trey. #Throwdown22 pic.twitter.com/b5FWoGFjqw

Will Barber, a 2024 from @emmausboysbball is a smart/heady guard who knows how to find open seams against a defense when slashing to the basket and has a propensity for drawing contact on layup attempts. #Throwdown22 pic.twitter.com/1SMzpCQIz4

2023 @YouGotTheHigh & @new_scholars wing Dasear Haskins caught my eye last game set with his half-court creation skills, floor spacing ability when spotting up, and flashes of making plays for others on ball screens. #Throwdown22 pic.twitter.com/YAWBCBoutx

2024 @BoysParkland & @TeamFinalEYBL guard Nick Coval did everything in his power to keep his team in the game against Camden. He showed poise against intense pressure defense, hit a number of spot-up/pull-up treys, while also scoring soft teardrops over bigger opponents. pic.twitter.com/bH7cM5xaAQ
