OTR Hoops: 12U-14U Memorial Day Standouts – May 26, 2025
By: Drew Johnson (@RealNews102)
Class of 2030
Lucca Roppa (2030)
Roppa was one of the most impressive 2030s on the floor. He’s long, smart, and plays both ends with purpose. The lefty has a smooth approach to the rim, shows good timing on defense, and plays within himself. A prospect to keep an eye on as he continues to develop.
Jeremiah Figueroa (2030)
Figueroa brings good size and a strong base for his age. He knocked down shots from the perimeter and didn’t shy away from battling inside. Crashed the boards with energy and showed flashes of being a well-rounded wing if the development continues.
13U Division
LaRon Davis (13U)
Davis brings some physicality and presence to the floor. Plays with intensity and showed he can handle contact on both ends. Still refining his skill set, but you can see the potential on both sides of the ball.
Malik Andrade (13U)
An athletic forward who runs the floor and competes in the paint. Andrade gets up and down quickly, is active on the glass, and finishes plays through traffic. Solid athlete with room to polish up his skill set.
Caleb Phillips (13U)
One of the harder working bigs in the division. Crashed the boards with urgency and ran the floor with purpose. Phillips cleaned up around the rim and consistently gave his team second-chance opportunities. Not flashy—but effective and physical.
Xavier Gullate (13U)
Strong frame for his age group and uses it to his advantage inside. Gullate was a steady interior scorer and didn’t back down when battling in traffic. Also got out in transition and was active on the boards. High motor and a clear inside presence.
Cameron Ellis (13U)
One of the more vocal and aggressive guards this weekend. Ellis played hard on both ends, attacked the rim with confidence, and flashed a smooth floater and midrange pull-up. He embraced a leadership role and brought real energy to his team.
12U Division
Carson Greer (12U)
Greer showed solid poise for a young guard. He defends with purpose, moves the ball well, and displayed a capable handle. Knocked down shots when open and played a team-first style that helped his group stay in rhythm. A well-rounded guard to keep watching.
Noah Abad (12U)
A smaller guard with a great feel for the game. Abad controlled tempo, pushed in transition, and made smart reads throughout. His handle is clean, and he isn’t afraid to take command of the offense—very steady and composed.
11U Division
Zion Leonel Sanchez (11U)
Already standing at 6-2, Zion’s size immediately stands out. He’s still raw in terms of polish, but he showed a decent feel around the rim and did a good job using his length to impact plays. With his physical tools and early flashes of feel, his long-term upside is intriguing.
