Roy Berry III, Lakeland Southern Coast Academy – A 6’2 senior, Berry is a good athlete at the point guard spot, speedy with the ball, and relentless in pushing the pace.  His ability to make perimeter shots is enough to keep defenders off balance.

Exauce Muamba, Auburndale Jordan Christian Prep – A 6’9 senior, Muamba is a strong and athletic presence on the interior.  He rebounds and blocks shots with authority, is swift up and down the floor, and finishes with force around the rim.

Jaydan Silvera, Lauderdale Lakes Boyd Anderson – A 6’5 senior, Silvera played much bigger than his size.  He got multiple put-back baskets, rebounded well against bigger foes, and proved to be a good passer to cutters and in transition.
