8 Players Who Impressed at 2K25 Showcase Day 2

Saturday’s 2K25 Showcase finale at Aquinas College produced five great in-state games, as the annual event always does.

Here are eight players who stood out Saturday with memorable performances:

K.J. Torbert, 6-2, East Lansing

An electric overall player who has no real weakness. He scored 34 points in Saturday’s win over Renaissance, draining 3-pointers, getting to the basket and playing above the rim. Torbert, a junior, has quickly become a Mr. Basketball favorite next season. He’s an elite combo guard who will make a lot of Spartan fans happy if he stays home and dons green and white in college - just like his dad.

Jordan Sigmon, 6-1, Renaissance

Sigmon has gone off every time I’ve seen him play this season and is quickly becoming one of the best scorers in the state. Sigmon is lightning quick and makes all types of acrobatic shots around the basket. He can knock down 3-pointers even though that isn’t the main strength of his game. He scored 37 points against East Lansing, proving how explosive he can be. He will likely have to play point guard at the next level, where he already has several D1 offers.

Randy Chapman, 6-2, East Kentwood

The junior wing had a major breakout game, scoring 33 points and effortlessly hitting shots from all over the court. Chapman is definitely not a volume shooter, which makes his 33 points that much more impressive. He’s a high-flying wing who always plays great defense. Now that he’s scoring more, he should be a name college coaches keep an eye on. EK has a young, loaded lineup that will be very fun to watch the next two-plus years.

Jayden Savoury, 6-6, OLSM

Savoury is committed to Michigan State for football (TE), but he could catch Tom Izzo’s eye to join the basketball roster, too. Izzo likes two-sport athletes like Matt Trannon, Marquise Carr and Keon Coleman, so it is possible. Savoury scored 17 points with nine rebounds in the one-point win Saturday. OLSM was down two starters but still played excellent defense and made enough shots to win a tough matchup.

Elija Langston, 6-7, Muskegon

My biggest knock on Langston has been his lack of aggressiveness and assertiveness on offense. He has stepped up with James Martin out and truly looked like the player Ferris State recruited on Saturday. He scored in double figures and did so in a variety of ways. If he can continue scoring 12-14 points per game, Muskegon will be state championship contenders.

Zip Hines, 5-11, OLSM

Hines is one of the quickest lead guards in the state, and he’s really starting to develop an identity as an elite mid-range shooter - a tragically lost art. Hines scored 16 points in Saturday’s win against GR Northview. He limited turnovers and set up the offense by consistently getting by his first defender. Still unsigned, Hines has similar skills to UD Jesuit guard Leroy Blyden and should develop into a solid D1 point guard.

Trevor Parham, 5-9, Cass Tech

Parham stepped in seamlessly as starting point guard, draining 3-pointers and running the offense with Stevie Hall. He finished the game with 17 points and four assists, proving why he’s been mentioned as one of the best underclassmen in the state. If he can build on this performance, Cass Tech has serious Breslin potential the next two years.

James Young, 6-2, Muskegon

The senior guard mainly made the move from North Muskegon to the Big Reds for football, but he stepped up with a team-high 20 points in James Martin’s absence. Young was splashing 3-pointers, crashing through the lane and he played great defense. Muskegon might have found a difference maker at the right time down the stretch.
