There are many players that deserve mention for their accomplishments this spring and summer. With that in mind, we present the 2025 All-Spring/Summer First Team, identifying the best performers from Florida on Florida-based travel teams. We did our best to track players regardless of club affiliation at various events around the country as well as our own, noting their accomplishments in the eyes of regional and national scouts.
Sean Abaev, SOH Elite: The 6’7 national top fifty rising senior out of Calvary Christian in Fort Lauderdale was arguably the top prospect on the Under Amor Association Circuit. Abaev was considered the circuit’s Offensive MVP for the spring live period. He averaged 22.8 points a contest, shooting 38.5% from behind the three-point line. Abaev continued that level play in June, performing well at the NBA Players Association Top 100 Camp in Orlando as well as being considered one of the better overall prospects at the gargantuan Section 7 event in Arizona, arguably the most competitive High School Team Camp in the country. In July at the Under Armor Championships, he took his game to another level, earning event MVP honors while averaging 24.3 points a game and pulling down eight rebounds a contest. Abaev capped his stellar summer by being named the MVP of the Under Armor Elite 24 game, nearly posting a triple double by putting up a game-high 22 points, 7 rebounds, and 10(!) assists.
Matt Able, Southeast Elite: The 6’5 rising senior, now at Weston Sagemont, finished the summer with a flourish. First some background. Three starters for SE Elite at the beginning of the season in March did not complete the season. Two players re-classified up and enrolled at their colleges of choice while another sought greener pastures elsewhere. This gave Able much more responsibility at both ends of the floor and he more than delivered. He was considered one of the top breakout players on the Adidas 3SSB circuit, averaging in the mid-teens during the April live period. When the 3SSB Championships were played during the July live period, Able was dominant. He averaged 22.2 points per contest over the course of the event and in the process went 24 of 44 (56.8%) from behind the arc. His three-level scoring ability was praised by national scouts and Able was named 1st Team All-Tournament. At the start of the spring, Able was outside the national top 150 but by the time the final live period of July concluded, his national ranking had skyrocketed firmly into the top seventy-five.
Jamier Jones, Florida Rebels: The 6’5 rising senior at Orlando Oak Ridge was highly consistent and effective at every step on the EYBL circuit. Jones averaged 14.5 ppg in Session I, earning third-team all-event honors. In Session II, his play elevated him to second-team all-event status as he averaged 21.7 points a game. Session III saw him earn honorable mention status while he missed Session IV for a USA Basketball event. In all, for the EYBL spring season, Jones was named 2nd Team All-EYBL after averaging 15.6 points a contest on 56.7% shooting from the field. In June at Section 7, he helped lead Oak Ridge to the title game in the event’s most competitive division. At Peach Jam, he earned third team all-event honors after averaging 16.6 points a game. Jones committed to Providence in the spring and it won’t surprise if he earns All Big East honors sooner rather than later in his time there.
Cayden Boozer, Nightrydas Elite: The 6’4 point guard out of Christopher Columbus in Miami is a coach’s binky, blanket, and teddy bear all rolled into one. His play elevated at every stop of the EYBL spring season. Boozer earned honorable mention for Session I, third team at both Session II and Session III and second team for Session IV. For the entire spring EYBL season, Boozer was given a third team nod, as he led the EYBL in assists at 6.5 a game and tossed in 11 points a contest. He went on to be a factor for Team USA at the 17U World FIBA Championships as the team earned a gold medal. At the Peach Jam, he was a significant force in leading the Nightrydas to the title, tossing in just under ten points a contest and once again led the EYBL in assists at nearly seven a contest. Boozer has great understanding and control of the game, a knack for making the right play at the right time, and is very potent at the point of attack on the defensive end.
Cameron Boozer, Nightrydas Elite: The 6’9 forward from Miami Christopher Columbus has pretty much accomplished every individual and team award one can get at the high school and grassroots levels of basketball. So why isn’t he considered the top player in high school basketball regardless of class? Boozer has been so good and so consistent in his production since he entered high school that national scouts are fatigued. They want “jaw dropping athleticism” and “tremendous upside” and whatever buzz words and phrases for potential they can come up with. However, you ask those same scouts, “who is the best college and/or NBA player ever” and they will rip off such comments as “so and so won X number of championships” or “what’s his name has multiple MVPs”. Well, Boozer has all that type of stuff yet the national gurus don’t seem to give him the same accolades as those that have accomplished less but with much more flash. His career vs. others in this class, at the college level and beyond, will be a great case study in substance vs. style for all those who call themselves scouts.
