2027

AZ Unity: One of the best teams in the country has been playing very well. Darrius Wabbington has expanded his game even more. The 6’9 big fell is running the floor and when they get into their offense he is hitting the three-ball. Last night he was shooting and he not only hit the 15 footer he was launching from distance as he really put the game out of hand with his shooting. It is somewhat demoralizing when the biggest kid on the floor is killing you inside and out. Mayom Mayom is going to be a name to know the kid is 6’7 and he is a true wing that will dunk on you and hit you with a cross.

Vegas Elite: This team has been finding ways to win games and they are spreading that scoring across the board. Camden Mckinney has a bright future ahead of him.

Rose City Rebels: This team is exciting and they are getting some really good play out of Aiden Sanchez. Kind of has that Tyler Hero in him. Sealed a big game on the free-throw-line last night. Kaden Wilson has a solid motor playing multiple positions. Isaac Bongen is a player that can go off at anytime. He has been doing the little things this weekend. Coaches really get a lot out of their entire team. Elijah Thompson can get hot in a hurry out there running the PG position.

Paul George Elite: Zion Leoard is one of the most calm guards out here. He is controlling the pace and making sure his team plays their style of ball. Nicolas Gastaldi has some size and that lefty game goes tough because he is physical and active all over the floor. They are very active out on the floor. Josiah Nance is a dude. Kid is a three-level monster.

LA Soldiers: This Matt Barnes run squad got game. They have one of the best players out here in Gene Roebuck. This kid is tough and he got that three-level scoring ability and you mix that in with his grown man style of play. Gene has to guard all 5 positions and is often stuck guarding some big players as he is one of the tallest kids on the team. Cisco Munoz is one tough PG that gets his team rolling. True PG with elite vision and he is a willing defender.
