Spears is a sharp shooter who can knock down shots at a high level. He is only 15 years old and made plays all weekend.
Aiden Stutson – Georgia Stunners – 2028
Stutson plays harder than anyone in the gym. He brings intensity on both offense and defense every single game.
AJ Cooper – Tennessee Panthers – 2028
Cooper creates his own shot and is a solid mid-range specialist. He has good change of pace and gets scrappy on defense.
Brayden Fallon – HoopGrind 2028 – 2028
Fallon is quiet but relentless. He is a pest on defense and a very good slasher who attacks the rim.

Kelvin Hill – Warner Robins Allstars – 2028
Hill plays bigger than his size. He guards post players, rebounds well, and finishes strong around the basket.
15U

Alton Snapp – Wood Elite – 2029
