2029 Bryson Faulkwarner (Team United): Faulkwarner had a tremendous weekend last week and did so again here at the Summer Grind. Really good feel for the game at his age and can be a tough matchup with his ability to step out and knock down shots, as well as use his size to be a force around the basket. One to certainly watch as he grows up and develops.
2029 Maddox McNeil (Team Rise): McNeil made several big plays to lead the charge for his team, using his length to finish around the basket, as well as be a tough matchup with his size. He showed that he can bring a balanced attack, whether from behind the arc, in the paint, or out in transition.
2029 Braeden Green-Up (NC Go Hard): when you first watch Green-up in action, you can help but notice his size and physical frame for a player his age. But then, when you watch him, he can surprise you with how skilled he operates. He displayed the ability to make plays off the dribble, can smoothly finish around defenders, has a soft touch on his jumper, and uses his body to be a strong presence on both ends.
2027 John Brown (Up Next): Though this team overall was tremendous, it was Brown that really caught my eyes with his overall activity and motor, as well as his production. He just seemed to have his hands in every play, made his presence felt both offensively and defensively, and just continued to attack offensively.
2028 Kaedyn Cole (FBC Carolina): For a player just going into the 8th grade, he stands at 6
