6’3 ’29 Nick Cannon (Garner Road)

Arguably the breakout prospect of the event, Nick Cannon had folks buzzing throughout the weekend. He possesses a favorable blend of size, feel, and well-rounded ability, which allows him to consistently impact all facets of the game. Cannon scored on all levels and appeared comfortable dictating the offense as an initiator. He rebounds well for his position and actively looks to push the break in transition whenever possible. Cannon is also capable of defending multiple positions. It’s still early, but his variety of tools and intangibles could allow him to become a notable prospect.

5’4 ’29 Legend Gay (Team NXT)

Despite his size, Legend Gay stood out as a leader by example and one of the most productive players on display. He’s a knockdown shooter with effortless mechanics and the ability to fill it up in various different ways. Gay hits shots off the catch and bounce while actively touching the paint, hitting midrange pull-ups, and setting up others exceptionally well. His feel for the game is evident in the way he carries himself on the court. Gay is very poised and unselfish with the right amount of assertiveness to be a focal point.

6’3 ’29 Colin Kratzer (Team 336)

In terms of appeal and long-term intrigue, Colin Kratzer was easily one of the most appealing prospects in attendance. Offensively, he showcased the full arsenal. Kratzer reliably finished, operated out of the post, and spaced the floor from midrange and beyond the arc. He’s capable of attacking and making plays off the bounce but doesn’t try to do too much outside of his strengths. On the other end, Kratzer utilized his length, motor, and impeccable timing to anchor the paint defensively. He rebounded and blocked shots at a consistent rate. Kratzer will only continue to progress and physically develop going forward. Expect him to be a name worth knowing.

6’3 ’28 Jacob Dyson (Carolina Culture)

Although there were numerous standouts on the Carolina Culture squad, Jacob Dyson captured attention as a new face. At 6-foot-3, he displayed a versatile game with the ability to pass, shoot, and overwhelm opponents as a defender/rebounder. Dyson appears comfortable creating within a few dribbles but also understands how to put himself in scoring positions without the ball in his hands. He’s already quite useful but has a lot of long-term potential and will be a player to keep an eye on.

5’4 ’29 Logan Warren (Team 336)

Probably the most unassuming player listed, Logan Warren is a true difference-maker. Sure, he’s small but possesses an unbelievably high IQ and natural leadership qualities. Warren is in complete control at all times. He’s a crafty, unselfish point guard with a tight handle, sharp vision, and excellent scoring polish. Warren is a knockdown shooter and terrific playmaker who understands how to keep defenses honest at all times. He touches the paint at will and sets up others or finishes around the basket. Warren is also a pesky defender who anticipates well to force turnovers and lead the break. Similar to his brother, Warren is an absolute gamer who can make an impact in any type of setting.
