2026 Robert Nyamongo (Basketpoint): The 6’5 big man certainly grabbed our attention to start the day, as he really showcased a strong feel as a big down in the paint. Nyamongo scored effectively around the basket with touch and both hands and was excellent in finishing through contact or simply being active on the boards. He has a lot of early tools that you love to see in a player at his position, and he should only continue to develop nicely. Certainly, one to watch out for and learn more about.
2028 Noah Dulin (Team Fly): A player that we are certainly familiar with and have covered on several occasions, but the 6’0 prospect continues to excel and show that he is a player worth monitoring. Dulin is a skilled prospect who can make a variety of plays on the floor. He is capable of making plays from multiple areas, comfortable in knocking down shots from the perimeter, and uses his length well to score. As we have said before, there is a lot of upside to his game.
2025 KJ Burke (NC Spartans): Burke was the sparkplug for his team to start the day. The 6’2 guard was able to make an impact on both sides of the floor. Whether it was playing with energy, making those extra hustle plays, and bringing an impact defensively at times. He also was able to attack and get downhill in transition, being a strong creator and not settling. Overall, really liked his impact on his team to start the day.
2027 Jacob Mills (Riptide): Mills was terrific on Day 2, especially early in the morning. Mills is one that we know all about his game; he is deadly from the outside as you are more surprised when he misses from three than when he makes it. But what one can see is that he continues to add more to his game, mixing it up well in catch-and-shoot situations but also taking what the defense gives him, putting it on the deck, and scoring in other ways.
2028 Jayce Featherstone (Up Next Crutchfield): Featherstone is a new name personally for me, but he is one that I will mark down and continue to check out. He excels in being that playmaker, playing at his pace and making good reads, displaying crafty handles that can create for himself and others, and being an effective scorer off the dribble or knocking down shots. Overall, Featherstone just has a smooth feel to his game.
2027 David Oates (D1 Sports): Oates, a freshman at North Meck, is an intriguing forward to watch and see how he develops. Not the biggest forward but solid size early on, you can’t deny his athleticism and wingspan that allow him to be a presence both offensively and defensively. Good touch around the basket, a fluid feel for his position, and can help be a presence in protecting the paint defensively.
2025 Chris Rivens (Cap City Charlotte): One can see that Rivens has been putting in work and is looking to be more assertive on the court. He brings a good frame that allows him to embrace contact, as well as get downhill and look to finish through traffic. But you can see his confidence more with his outside shot, mixing it up with his mid-range game off the bounce or from the perimeter. Eager to see more of him this summer with his growth.
