The event featured a healthy mix of athleticism, basketball IQ, and developing skill sets that project well for the future.

His ability to control the glass and capitalize on put-back opportunities gives his team valuable production around the basket.
Jayden Ansah | 2030
Ansah is the type of scorer who can change a game in a hurry. Once he gets into rhythm, he's extremely difficult to slow down. His ability to knock down shots from beyond the arc forces defenders to stay attached, while his change of pace and explosiveness allow him to attack the basket effectively. Ansah uses his athleticism to create driving lanes and finish through contact or over defenders. He also brings intensity on the defensive end, applying aggressive ball pressure and making life difficult for opposing guards.

When under control, he showcases impressive body control and touch, consistently knocking down mid-range jumpers with confidence and precision.

On the defensive end, Chadwick-Meyers sets the tone with active half-court pressure and strong on-ball defense.
