2025 Junior Elite 75 Recaps pt. 6

The Junior Elite 75 took place on March 21st in Foxborough, Massachusetts, bringing together standout 5th-8th graders eager to showcase their skills. The gym was packed with future stars from across New England, making for an exciting night of basketball. Here’s a dive into some more players who took the court: 

 

Quincy Cook (2029) 

Cook is a lightning-quick guard who consistently made the right plays. Whether scoring tough buckets or finding open teammates, he backed up his reputation as one of the top guards in the region. 

 

Jalen Hazelton (2030)

We’ve seen Hazelton play up over the past year, and that practice definitely gave him some edge in this setting. The 5’10 guard makes things happen with the ball in his hands attacking defenders and creating shots for himself. Has upside to watch as he continues to improve over the years.

 

Gian Cora (2029) 

Cora showed promise as he continues to grow stronger, flashing glimpses of his potential of a tough finisher inside and ballhandler.

 

Anza Handwerger (2029) 

With his 6’5” frame, Handwerger has significant long-term potential. His skill set is developing, and he plays with a high motor on both ends of the floor. 

 

Zayden Nunnally (2029) 

A solid guard whose work ethic stood out throughout the event. The Springfield native brings an element of speed to the court and can hurt defenses in transition.

 

Amari Dyer (2029) 

A prospect we’re eager to track as his game continues to evolve. He showed good use of his handle to attack defenders off the bounce and found open teammates with his passing.

 

Alexander Williams (2030) 

Long and wiry with a budding frame, Williams plays well both on and off the ball and has the versatility to defend multiple positions. His upside as a scorer and a dynamic duo with his twin brother Andrew will be one to watch.

 

Andrew Williams (2030) 

Like his brother, Alexander possesses great physical tools standing above the six feet plateau. He moves fluidly and impacts the game with his size, mobility, and team-first mentality, while being able to knock down shots.

 

Yaseen Fathalla (2030)

Fathalla has an excellent handle on the ball, being able to keep defenders on their heels with his ability to shift his weight quickly from side to side. He’s a knockdown shooting threat from mid-range and three who converted in bunches at the event.

 

Neven Milovic (2029) 

A sharpshooter with a smooth outside stroke, Milovic moves well without the ball and is poised to continue rising. 

 

Alejandro Recca (2030) 

Despite being on the smaller side, Recca plays with a toughness that coaches love. That edge, combined with his developing skill set, will serve him well.

 

Simon Killheffer (2029) 

Killheffer already has good size for his age. As he learns to fully utilize his frame, he has the potential to develop into a strong prospect.
