Young Guns Jumping on the Radar this Spring

I've had the privilege to see a ton of basketball during this spring season of travel basketball. So far, I've hit: Sunshine State Showdown, Adidas 3SSB Session 1, PGH Peach Games, ENG Sports Invitational, and Live at Lakepoint. Here are some young players that stood out me throughout the spring season:    Camila is one of the most skilled 2028's I've seen this spring. She plays with some swagger and uses her long frame to stride out which helps her get through defenders or get into passing lanes on the other end. Her court vision and passing with either hand make her one of the most talented guards in terms of distributing and sharing the rock. Camila has a smooth spin move in her bag and made some really tough one-handed passes with her left hand when I've seen her. Going to be a name to monitor with her unique game that's basically ambidextrous!     Aniyah was the best player on the court when I saw her play in Georgia. She showed off some smooth handles and could shoot it from deep with nice form. Her quickness allowed her to get to the rim on offense, but also helped her a ton of defense. AG got a few steals using that speed and had very active hands on defense. She'll be a name to watch in South Florida after a strong Freshman season and a strong start this spring.     Bijoux was one of the best surprises for me this spring. She finished on multiple And One's when I watched her and also created so well for her team. Her handles and ability to create and dish to her teammates makes her one of the most unselfish guards in the 2028 class. Bijoux's game is bouncy, she plays on her toes, and she's showed some high IQ basketball when I've seen her.     Autumn is one of the few 2030's I've seen in the state, but it's clear she has massive upside when it comes to her potential. She has really good height, length, and skill already. Her hesi and change of speed was impressive when I saw her in Wesley Chapel. The way she moves and plays the game will make her one of the top 2030's in the Sunshine State for years to come.     Krystina has some legit upside in the 2029 class with good experience already. I've seen her knock it down from deep, handle the ball with some swagger and care, and also change her direction and speed pretty well with the rock. She can score it off the bounce from any distance and does a nice job of showing patience when setting up the offense and letting the game come to her. If she keeps working, she'll be a top 2029 to watch in Florida throughout her career.     Devyn is a player in the 2029 class in South Florida that has a chance to be very special. She showed off a really clean spin move and a strong finish with the left hand in the games I've seen. Her length and skill for her class is high-level in the Sunshine State. Devyn skyed for some boards and showed off an elite level of athleticism and awareness that will give her a chance to best one of the best in the 2029 class.     Madison was making it rain 3's when I saw her play. Offensively, she has really nice control and does a great job of pushing the ball in transition. Her feel for the game and smart decision-making stood out big time. She utilized a great shot fake on the offensive end and had solid awareness to make the right play on the defensive end. Really enjoyed her unselfish play and communication as well.
