Up in Virginia, Phenom Hoops had a great opportunity to find new talent and there were two forwards that grabbed our attention early and we were eager to watch more at the Phenom Tip-Off. 2026 Manny Villegas and 2026 Germain Green are two prospects that bring intrigue and upside, and should be two names to jot down and watch more of in the coming years. We break down more of their games.

2026 6’8 Manny Villegas

Villegas earned my attention early and was one I was eager to see more at the event. He presents good size, fluidity, and upside with his game, and Villegas was a key piece for BWSL TMB 2025 at the event. Villegas presents a nice touch around the basket and brings activity on the boards, displaying good athleticism. He is able to face up and make plays in a variety of ways, score from multiple levels, and run the floor well.
