2023 @RBR_Basketball & @JSPredators shooting guard Nick Valentino can hit threes from the NBA line on spot-up attempts, gets to his smooth mid-range pull-up with a jab-step, and has a strong body to drive through defenders when penetrating in the half-court. pic.twitter.com/b21OMdOBgf

2023 North Babylon HS (NY) & @LIB2MBBALL forward Aiden Morel is a reliable three-point threat off the catch, fluid as a rim runner in transition, and stops and pops for fifteen foot pull-ups when attacking closeouts. pic.twitter.com/kL0OU8k9rO

2023 @MassEliteHoop guard Quentin Pridgen is difficult to stay in front of with his shifty handle, sprays the ball out to open shooters when opponents collapse on him, and creates second chance opportunities with his high motor on the offensive glass. pic.twitter.com/G1dssRYJ8U

2023 @philmontca & @PSBphilly forward Jack Swider caught my eye last game set with his ability to make treys off the catch/move and comfort initiating fast breaks after pulling down a rebound. pic.twitter.com/MiDP4KKgO6
