The coverage continues with Phenom Hoops, as we are doing it BIG with all that has gone on in the month of April. Coming off an extremely successful event, we are highlighting more players and teams, as our platform is your platform. We want to take a look at a few more players to watch out for.
One player that has been a name popping up more and more is 2026 6’5 Aidan Rousseau with WCBA. The lengthy prospect has earned plenty of attention, including more with his play last week. When talking about his game, you can see his overall impact; he has a strong interior, has tremendous footwork, brings a ton of production, and there is still so much room for growth; all of which has to intrigue you as he continues to develop in the coming years.
Just check out what all has been said about Rousseau in the past, as he is a player to put on your watch list more.
“The example is constantly being set nowadays for small ball with undersized versatile bigs. Well, Aidan is perfectly fit for the guard-centered small ball but also has the size to tower in the paint and dominate inside. Between his footwork and operating prowess on the block, and his sense for finding holes in the short corner and high post to knock down jumpers, he has the total package to build a team around. When one game is taken away, he can lean on the other. But there’s always consistent production from both, as there wasn’t a truly great matchup to shut him down this season. The success his team had is tribute towards all he can do and should speak for itself, as he helped lead a balanced squad to 3 championships at our events. While the production is always there and he can quietly have big games due to his calm manner, there’s always room to grow and one would most likely look towards the weight room as he enters high school in this case to peak his strength aggression down low.“
“Rousseau never seems to have a bad game and is always able to make a serious impact regardless of the circumstances. That high of a floor is incredibly enticing in a young prospect. His shooting progression has taken big strides in the past few months, and he’s gone from possibly making a three per game to being an efficient volume threat if left unguarded. That combined with his interior footwork, motor, mobility, and touch around the rim makes him arguably the best prospect on this loaded WCBA 2026 roster.“
