2024 Mason Smith
Smith is one that has blown up over the last year, but also one can say that he is finally getting the attention he deserves. There is a lot to like about this young man, but he can be a big weapon with 6’7 frame and the ability to knock down shots with range. Quick release, is always ready to go, and shoots the ball with a ton of confidence. He had a big summer and should only continue to do that this upcoming season.
2025 Isaiah Denis
Denis is another player that I’m really interested in seeing this year with his new team. HE is a long guard that has continued to improve over the year. He brings length to his position, as well as athleticism, scoring capability, and can knock down shots from multiple levels. He will be one of the clear leaders for this team, giving him a huge opportunity to shine even more.
2024 Brady Kester
Kester is going to be a big part of this team’s success, as they will need him in a variety of ways. He brings good size at 6’8 which will help around the basket and defend bigger opponents, but he also showed that he is comfortable roaming around the perimeter, setting screens and rolling into the paint, moving well without the ball, and showing a solid feel inside with touch. In open gym, he really flourished in his willingness to battle, hustle on all plays, help on the boards, and show his footwork and ability to operate from an array of levels.
2026 Will Stevens
If you want to talk about a young player who could see a major uptick as far as attention, Stevens could fit into that category. The 6’10 big man continues to blossom, getting bigger and stronger, and he has a developing game to go with it. At his size, he has shown time after time his ability to step out and knock down shots, be a presence around the basket, block/alter shots defensively, and he is adding more to his game each time we see him.
2025 Levon Jacobs
Jacobs has been a player we have viewed a few times before and we know what you will get out of him; he is a player who works hard, puts in the effort to get better, plays with energy, and is showing more of his ability to finish at the rim. The one thing you will always get is energy from this young man, as he will be a very good piece with his 6’9 frame and his motor.
Other Players:
2024 6’5 Hank Neace wasn’t at open gym on the day and is still working to get back, but he is a 6’5 prospect who does a nice job in moving without the ball, can be a good playmaker on the court, and competes.
2025 Jamieke Spruill is a tough and strong prospect that creates with strong moves and handles, gets others involved, and can be a tough defender for this team.
2025 Anthony Rogers, a 5’10 guard who led the team in scoring last year, is one who can be effective off the catch and knocking down shots, as well as making plays with the ball in his hands. Should be a valuable piece that provides depth.
