Orlando, FL – The 13th Annual BOTBFL
The 13th Annual Best of the Best Elite Florida Showcase once again lived up to its reputation as one of the premier stages for emerging basketball talent in the Southeast. This year’s event brought together standouts from multiple classes.
2029 | 6’8” F | Michael Williams | Wiregrass Ranch
Williams is emerging as a sleeper forward in the 2029 class. Standing at 6’8”, he shows flashes of becoming a special talent as his game continues to evolve.
Williams has a soft touch around the rim, reliable in the paint, but he also displays the ability to attack open lanes with confidence. His developing versatility shines in pick and roll actions, where he can both finish plays and make smart reads.
2026 | 6’4” G | Jayden Williams | West Oaks Academy
The 6’4” G has a bag of perimeter skills. Jayden Williams of West Oaks Academy from the Chicago area, plays with the signature toughness and flair that comes with “up north” basketball. His advanced ball-handling allows him to manipulate defenders, using quick shifts and hesitations to create separation for attacks to the rim or smooth pull-up jumpers.
Williams also demonstrates an impressive understanding of shooting angles, consistently finding ways to score over or around contests. While he’s a confident scorer, he’s equally unselfish & willing to make the extra pass to get teammates involved. He should have a good recruitment season in Florida.
2026 | 6’10” F | Anei Majock | West Oaks Academy
The unique thing about Majock is his skill set at 6’10”. Majock showed ability to handle the ball fluidly, showing guard-like skills initiating offense and create mismatches.
He’s comfortable playing multiple offensive positions, stretching the floor or attacking from the perimeter.
2029 | 6’9” F | Wakem Agamba | Jordan Christian Prep
Agamba versatile on defense was my attraction at 6’9”, he’s able to guard all positions effectively while protecting the rim at a high level.
Offensively, Agamba is growing in confidence putting the ball on the floor to attacking and showing no hesitation in stepping out beyond the arc to knock down 3s.
2029 | 6’9” F | John Mapuor Madol | Jordan Christian Prep
You want a John Mapuor Madol type of player on the floor. At 6’9”, he brings size and presence but it’s his motor and willingness to do the dirty work that that got my attention. He hustles on every possession, dives for loose balls, and gives relentless effort on both ends of the court.
Offensively, he contributes as a reliable finisher and works well within the flow of the game, while defensively, his length and energy allow him to alter shots and impact plays.
2028 | 6’1” PG | Josiah Gillard | Dr. Phillips HS
Josiah Gillard is a confident high-tempo point guard. At 6’1”, he uses his craftiness and handle to create separation. He’s effective at keeping defenses on their heels, pushing the tempo in transition, and making quick decisions that generate scoring opportunities.
2028 | 6’0” PG | Jean Bivindy | Coconut Creek
Bivindy is poised and patient as a floor general who understands how to control tempo. At 6’0”, he plays with a steady pace, never rushing and shows maturity in his decision making. He has a balanced attack with both hands. Bivindy brings a heads up presence getting players involved but when needed, he can assert himself as a scorer.
