6’8 ’26 Will Stevens (Carolina Riptide)
There were a ton of promising big men on display, and Stevens was arguably as impressive as any of them—especially being the youngest player on his team. He’s still developing strength, but already displays timing, toughness, and a quality motor on both ends of the floor. Stevens utilizes his length very well to finish, secure rebounds, and alter shots defensively. He also spaces the floor and moves well for his size. That being said, Stevens still possesses a ton of upside.
6’0 ’27 Zaiyir Phillips (Team United)
While other players on this team might receive more attention, Phillips is someone that folks should start getting to know. He’s a well-rounded guard with phenomenal shooting ability, defensive prowess, and feel on both ends of the floor. Phillips understands how to produce without forcing the action or requiring a ton of touches. He displays IQ and poise, both with and without the ball in his hands.
6’0 ’25 Dylan Craven (Combine Regional)
It’s easy to appreciate the balance of this Combine Regional squad, which certainly includes Craven and the manner in which he runs a team. He’s smart, poised, and knows how to consistently create quality looks for others. Craven handles the ball with care, sees the entire floor, and makes excellent decisions as a playmaker. He can score as needed but prefers to patiently break down defenses and locate the best available shot.
6’3 ’28 BD Donzo (Team Trezz)
Though young, there’s already so much appeal with Donzo (and his twin brother). He’s a long, athletic, high-motor post prospect with nice finishing ability around the basket. Donzo moves very well for his size, especially being so young, and understands how to control the glass with relative ease. He also blocks shots, runs the floor in transition, and poses a constant lob threat around the basket. It’s only a matter of time before he takes off.
6’5 ’23 Julius Harrison (Piedmont Classical)
Given his consistency over the recent months, it’s perplexing to try and make sense of Harrison’s lack of recruitment. He’s always been an athletic, versatile, well-rounded wing/forward prospect, but has only continued to show steady improvement over the years. Harrison can handle the ball, defend multiple positions, and knock down three-pointers at an extremely high percentage. He finishes, moves without the ball, and actively fills in the gaps on both ends of the floor.
