MVP
Takeo Pratt-Tabbs (Dream Team Red) โ 19.0 PPG
Crafty, high-IQ guard who consistently plays with poise. Comfortable putting the ball on the floor, thrives in the mid-range coming off the pick-and-roll, and scores efficiently with no wasted movement.

Kai is a great combo guard can get to the basket at will and score in bunches. When he is not getting his own bucket he is setting up teammates with elite playmaking high IQ. As good off the ball as he is on the ball. Positions himself well for open 3s and breaksdown defenders wuth a killer crossover.
Skylar Johnson (Dream Team Red) โ 14.3 PPG, 2.8 3PM
Skylar is an extremely skilled guard that can score in a variety of ways. He moves the ball well finding teammates but can also break his defender down and get in the paint.
