Name: Adrianna Summersett
Hometown: Rahway, NJ
Position: Point Guard
Class: 2025
Breakdown: Summersett was the only female in attendance but held her own. She can handle the rock, create for others and knockdown a jumper if needed. I loved her determination on the floor. She’s going to be a force to reckoned with on the girl’s scene.
SUPPORT THE J.E.M. HOLIDAY CLASSIC
Name: Michael Malachi
Hometown: Wingdale, NY
Position: Point Guard
Class: 2025
Breakdown: Don’t let the shy face fool you because Malachi is a quiet assassin. He can hurt you with an outside shot or while penetrating the lane. He’s very skilled and plays with a high basketball IQ at this age.
SUPPORT THE J.E.M. HOLIDAY CLASSIC
Name: Kady'n Turner-Scott
Hometown: Greensboro, NC
Position: Forward
Class: 2025
Breakdown: Turner-Scott isn’t scratching the surface to his potential. The wiry forward uses his size to contribute on both sides of the ball. He can rebound and block shots on the defensive end while also finishing in transition on the offensive side. Remember this name because you will be hearing about him down the line.
SUPPORT THE J.E.M. HOLIDAY CLASSIC
Name: Akilles Inglot
Hometown: Brooklyn, NY
Position: Forward
Class: 2024
Breakdown: The strong forward stretched the defense with deep bombs. He has the catch and shoot game that could be a zone buster. We couldn’t really evaluate how much he could handle the rock. Hopefully we can see more of him on the AAU circuit.
SUPPORT THE J.E.M. HOLIDAY CLASSIC
Name: Nazier Williams
Hometown: New Britain, CT
Position: Forward
Class: 2025
Breakdown: Williams has a good game facing the basket. He demonstrated good footwork and touch. He wants to venture to the wing which will require work on his speed and agility which will come in time.
SUPPORT THE J.E.M. HOLIDAY CLASSIC
Name: Jairus Cody
Hometown: Middletown, NY
Position: Combo Guard
Class: 2024
Breakdown: Cody was one of the best on ball defenders in the event. Cody was relentless with stripping ball handlers and playing the passing lanes. On offense he is serviceable to at running the point and should be better with decision making on the high school level.
SUPPORT TallHE J.E.M. HOLIDAY CLASSIC
Name: Deuce Maxey
Hometown: Willingboro, NJ
Position: Combo Guard
Class: 2025
Breakdown: Maxey has developed into a confident lead guard that has added a handle to his already deadly jumper. He has the size to pass and shoot over defenders while also finishing through contact. We look for him to have a big season on the Spotlight circuit with Team Final.
SUPPORT THE J.E.M. HOLIDAY CLASSIC
Name: Keith McKnight
Hometown: Teaneck, NJ
Position: Combo Guard
Class: 2024
Breakdown: McKnight was the leading scorer from his team. He got buckets from all three levels. I liked the boogie in his game and his smoothness for his position. On defense he was a ball hawk and played the passing lanes very well. Milbank Flyers have a good player in McKnight.
SUPPORT THE J.E.M. HOLIDAY CLASSIC
Name: Jahmare Memphis
Hometown: Brampton, ON
Position: Point Guard
Class: 2025
Breakdown: Canada has a good one in this kid. He was explosive when attacking the lane while finishing among the trees. He also has a mean hatchet from deep. He buries the jumper when left open or when defenders are closing out. Memphis has ice water in his veins. He had a great showing in his Spotlight debut.
SUPPORT THE J.E.M. HOLIDAY CLASSIC
Name: Judah Hidalgo
Hometown: Pennsauken, NJ
Position: Point Guard
Class: 2025
Breakdown: I see the plan now, it’s for Judah to become a point guard. During the game sessions Judah showed flashes on what could be. He handled the pill, made decisions and scored when the opportunity came. He already has size for the position so all that’s left development.
SUPPORT THE J.E.M. HOLIDAY CLASSIC
Name: Myles Parker
Hometown: Plainfield, NJ
Position: Shooting Guard
Class: 2025
Breakdown: Parker is a huge upside he had one of the best strokes in the building. The southpaw has enormous range and size. If he keeps growing the Garden State needs to watch out because a big time prospect can be on the horizon. He made a huge splash.
SUPPORT THE J.E.M. HOLIDAY CLASSIC
Name: Jaren Barnett
Hometown: Elizabeth, NJ
Position: Point Guard
Class: 2025
Breakdown: Barnett adapts to the competition as a point guard. He has low dribble and keeps his head high which helps his court vision. If he’s needed to score, he will drop a few buckets of his own. I also like his work ethic during the drill session.
SUPPORT THE J.E.M. HOLIDAY CLASSIC
Name: Jaden Barnett
Hometown: Elizabeth, NJ
Position: Combo Guard
Class: 2024
Breakdown: Barnett is still developing his skill set and looks good on the offensive end. He uses his size against smaller guards with a pull up in the lane or a strong finish at the tin. His confidence seems to grow at each event he attends.
SUPPORT THE J.E.M. HOLIDAY CLASSIC
Name: Dale “Papi” Harris
Hometown: Abingdon, MD
Position: Point Guard
Class: 2027
Breakdown: The youngest player in attendance went hard in the drills and held his own in the game sessions. Being a coach’s son Harris understands passing and staying away from traps. He will knockdown the open jumper and run the offense if needed. He gained enormous experience from this event.
SUPPORT THE J.E.M. HOLIDAY CLASSIC
Name: Chandler Watts
Hometown: West Windsor, NJ
Position: Small Forward
Class: 2024
Breakdown: Watts must continue to develop under Delson because he will ultimately become a wing. I like his wingspan and some of his other physical attributes. His wiry frame allows him to block shots and guard the perimeter on defense. As long as he keeps his motor high his offensive production will flourish.
SUPPORT THE J.E.M. HOLIDAY CLASSIC
Name: Kabrien Goss
Hometown: Trenton, NJ
Position: Point Guard
Class: 2024
Breakdown: What you have to love about Goss is that he leaves it all on the floor no matter who is opposition is. He attacks top prospects the same way he attacks under the radar opponents. He has developed more of a pass first mentality which is important as he transitions into high school. As an 8th Grader he’s the best Capital City point guard regardless of class.
SUPPORT THE J.E.M. HOLIDAY CLASSIC
Name: Justin Alejandro
Hometown: Bronx, NY
Position: Point Guard
Class: 2025
Breakdown: Justin played some lock down defense throughout the game sessions. On offense he was able to burst through the first line of defense and made something happen in the lane. I like his smoothness and confidence to attack anyone. I look forward to seeing him on the circuit.
SUPPORT THE J.E.M. HOLIDAY CLASSIC
Name: Jaysean Williams
Hometown: Hartford, CT
Position: Point Guard
Class: 2025
Breakdown: Williams is another tough point guard from Hartford that has made an impact at Basketball Spotlight. Jaysean loves calling for the pick and roll. After dribbling through he usually drops a nice dime the big man. His handle makes him difficult to rip and he lives in the lane. Williams can also drain the outside shot.
SUPPORT THE J.E.M. HOLIDAY CLASSIC
Name: Jordan Ghee
Hometown: Totowa, NJ
Position: Shooting Guard
Class: 2025
Breakdown: Ghee took some of the new drills and applied them to his game during the sessions. Instead of his normal catch and shoot method he pumped faked a little more and put the rock on the deck. I also saw him display a more drive, draw and kick game. The more comfortable he gets creating off the bounce the more dangerous prospect he becomes.
SUPPORT THE J.E.M. HOLIDAY CLASSIC
Name: Austin Swartz
Hometown: Indian Hills, NC
Position: Small Forward
Class: 2024
Breakdown: Austin came the NJ to get some great training and national pub and received both of them. The NC product stood out from the beginning. He went hard in the drills and eyed the top players during game sessions. He scored from all three levels and more impressively went hard on the defensive end. This type of hunger will take this youngster far on the basketball court.
