<p>The [program_tooltip program_id='714624' first='Hoop' last='Mountain'] Future Stars Showcase brought together some of the top players from around New England in the classes of 2028-2031. These are five players that caught my eye currently in middle school, classes 2030 and 2031. They are poised to succeed over the next few years.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Brooklyn finishes over taller defenders and uses shifty moves to create space. It felt like she converted nearly every shot she took at the basket. She smartly hunts mismatches off screens, letting her speed and footwork take over.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Sylvie plays a fundamentally sound game and doesn't force anything offensively. She advances the ball well, hustles for loose balls, and moves with purpose even when off the ball. She drives aggressively downhill and uses her hands well to generate steals.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Lucia attacks the basket aggressively, often forcing defenders to foul her. She makes quick, decisive moves and gives defenses little time to react. Defensively, she is extremely active both on the ball and in help, sitting in passing lanes and fighting hard for rebounds.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Zaryah is a confident shooter with deep range, knocking down threes with ease. She handles the ball patiently, waiting for plays to develop instead of rushing. She finds teammates in their preferred spots and finishes at the basket with either hand.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Paidrin contributes in a wide variety of ways on offense. She drives hard to the rim, hits threes, and sets up teammates with smart passes. Defensively, she plays bigger than her size and blocks shots while locking down her matchup.</p>
