Rogers is a true rim protector with not just his physical tools but also moving well all around the paint and a quick jump. He also showed a growing offensive game as a lob threat and hit the offensive glass hard for put backs while also being able to step out and hit some threes.

Gary Thorpe – 2027 – PG – Jay Academy

Throughout this grassroots season, Thorpe has continued to be one of the top playmakers on the attack. The lengthy point guard plays very quick with the ball being able to consistently break down defenders. Whether in the half court or while pushing the ball in transition, he was very often getting into the paint to make plays helping Jay Academy get to the gold title game. He finished the ball very well all around the rim using both hands in addition to his distributing on the attack dumping it off effectively.
