Jamarri Fears – 2027 – PG – Zero Fears

The game of Fears has grown a ton over the past year. This was clear with his two-way play which included scoring 18 points in a tight win.

He both scored and distributed it on the attack but also hit several threes in the tournament. Fears also played with great intensity on the defensive side utilizing his quickness to consistently pressure the ball.
