Over the course of the three days at the Spring Extravaganza there was a long list of great games for the 16U level. While many players at this level could make a strong argument for inclusion on this list, here are the players that were most deserving of the stock booster honors with their play.
La’Montae Cross – 2024 – PG – 94 Feet Elite
One of the better distributors of the 16U level of the tournament. Cross was constantly getting into the paint with his quickness and ability to maneuver around defenders to distribute the ball out to his teammates. Cross is a skilled passer that sees the floor very well on the moves. He knows his role and does it very effectively.
Isaiah Freeman – 2025 – G – KC Run GMC
A lengthy guard that can so much on the floor with all his tools. Not only did he score 19 points in a game on Saturday but also did a bit of everything on both ends. He moves well with the ball scoring it effectively going to the basket and finishing. Much more than a scorer, he is an active guard that also defended multiple positions well, hits the glass, and created for his teammates. A freshman with plenty of upside.
Lebron Gough – 2025 – PG – George Hill All Indy
While playing up, Gough was still one of the better guards at the 16U level of the tournament. During the tournament he stood out the most with his facilitating ability. He sees the floor very well at all times and is a skilled passer. Even while on the attack he reads the floor well and knows where to go with the ball. The guard continues to play at a high level and has a great skill set.
Coriahnn Gallatin – 2026 – PG – Nebraska Supreme
Even while his team playing up a level and he was playing up two levels, Gallatin still had a strong weekend for himself. With all of his tools he can just carve up a defense. He plays well with the ball in his hands, has good handle, and reads the floor extremely well. A pass first point guard that can also score it himself, Gallatin got into the defense often to create for himself and teammates. He plays well beyond his years with good feel.
Jadyn Hollis – 2024 – PG – 3D Empire
An energetic point guard that made his impact felt on both ends of the floor. Hollis really works pressuring the ball with his quickness, making opposing guards struggle and greatly disrupting opposing offenses. Offensively, he distributed the ball very well getting into the defense with his speed and handle to create for his teammates.
Ja’Rory Purnell – 2023 – PG – Gain Elite MN
Purnell impressed with his ability to run an offense well in addition to scoring it himself. With his handle, reading the floor, and moves with the ball, he has a good ability to command an offense getting wherever he wants on the floor with the ball. Not just that but Purnell can knock down jumpers well both off the catch and dribble. A smart player that does so much for his team.
Pryor Reynolds – 2024 – G – Illinois Predators
The point guard had a strong weekend contributing in numerous ways for his team. He is a smart guard who plays with good energy and knows how to play.

Connor Roffers – 2024 – SG – MTXE Premier
A lengthy 6’4” wing guard with good all-around skills that does a bit of everything for his team. Not only does Roffers score the ball effectively in a variety of ways but also plays big inside for his team defending the paint and hitting the glass. Roffers scored it very well going to the basket as well to scoring it strong inside and spotting up for threes.
Patrick Still – 2024 – SG – 24:Up
A highly impactful guard with a nice overall skill set to do so much on the floor.
