Alex Scott | 2029 | 6'7" F | TWE Basketball (TX) 3Stripes Gold Championship 15U All-Tournament Team Championship Game: 11 PTS | 9 REB | 6 AST | 5 STL | 1 BLK Scott is a versatile forward with the size and feel to impact the game in a variety of ways. He sees the floor exceptionally well, consistently making the extra pass and creating opportunities for teammates with his vision. His length and activity make him a strong rebounder, while his ability to defend multiple positions and finish efficiently around the basket allows him to make an impact on both ends of the floor. @3StripesGold @SportsPassports @TWEBasketball #3StripesGold #adidasBasketball

Cayden Broomes | 2029 | 6'3" G | TWE Basketball (TX) 3Stripes Gold Championship 15U All-Tournament Team Championship Game: 20 PTS | 3 REB | 3 3PM Broomes is a polished three-level scorer with the size and skill set to create matchup problems. He attacks the rim with purpose, gets to his spots for controlled mid-range pull-ups, and has the confidence to knock down shots from well beyond the arc. @3StripesGold @SportsPassports @TWEBasketball #3StripesGold #adidasBasketball

The Nets surprised many around the NBA when they took BYU G Egor Demin with the 8th pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. Former NBA scout @mvandy2 spoke with Nets Wire about why he loves the pick of Demin, regarded by many as the best passer in the class. More: netswire.usatoday.com/story/…

"Our European scout loved him... We didn't have a pick right there, otherwise we would have taken him." Cover your ears Sixers fans (and Perloff). Former team scout @mvandy2 says the Sixers European scout was all-in on a young Nikola Jokic in the 2014 NBA Draft
