UA Next Combine-LA Early Look

Dylan Anderson, Ramel Lloyd, Jaxon Kohler, Ben Shtolzberg, Max Ailen & Kristaian Jemerson
The LA session of the UA Next Combine Series is only a few hours old and a few kids have already started to separate themselves during the skills and drills segment of the event. We won’t have the full picture until the games kick off later this afternoon, but the players below are off to a great start. Dylan Anderson (6’11”/C/2022/Litchfield Park, AZ) is the biggest kid in the event and his potential is unmistakable. He’s long, agile and has great feet and hands.  In a drill we were watching, Anderson displayed a nifty spin move into a dunk.  That was really all we needed to see to confirm his prospect status!

We were also super impressed with Ramel Lloyd (6’5”/PG/2022/Lakewood, CA), who showed a lot of athleticism and explosiveness.  Lloyd is strong, aggressive with solid ball skills and the ability to shoot off the bounce.  Oh yea, he’s dunking everything! Jaxon Kohler (6’6”/PF/2022/American Fork, UT) is another good-looking prospect. We liked his size, footwork and soft touch around the basket. Kohler also finishes at a high rate. Max Allen (6’7”/PF/2022/Las Vegas, NV) is another big with skill.  He has a big body with nice touch around the rim.  We also liked his ability to step outside and knock down shots.

Kristian Jemerson (6’3”/PG/2022/Los Alamitos, CA) caught our eye with his length, fluidity, and athleticism. We intend to keep an eye on Ben Shtolzberg (5’11”/PG/2022/Northridge, CA) who also showed flashes of talent.  Its already clear Shtolzberg is highly skilled and understands how to play the game. We will be watching out for other guys like Pejan Slater (6’4”/SG/2022/Lancaster, CA), Akoye Hudson (6’2”/PG/2022/LA, CA), Elijah Saunders (6’4”/WF/2022/Phoenix, AZ).  From what little we’ve seen already, we can’t wait for the games to jump off.  Stay tuned!
