6'8 '26 Mark Caslaru (Next Level SC)

If the common adage of 'big men take longer to develop' rings true, then folks should be getting really excited about Caslaru and his overall trajectory. The 6-foot-8 post prospect already has the makings of a modern big man, displaying a notable blend of touch, perimeter shooting, and rim-protection ability. Caslaru understands how to anchor the paint, control the glass, and overwhelm opponents with his inside-out skillset. He possesses a strong, sturdy frame with mobility and solid athleticism. Caslaru is a lethal floor-spacer, especially at this stage in his progression, and can already wreak havoc with his ability to roll or pop out of screening actions. Expect college coaches to start laying groundwork sooner than later. 

5'9 '26 Ayden Johnson (Big Shots Elite)

Some guys will always receive unwarranted doubt due to their size, but Johnson is simply a guy who shouldn't be bet against. Sure, he's small, but his skill level is simply on another level from most players in high school basketball. Johnson is a smart, tough, crafty guard prospect with the ability to generate clean looks for himself and others or apply lethal pressure as an off-ball threat. He can initiate the offense and get others involved, but is arguably at his best when looking to score and mix it up from all levels. Johnson is a scrappy defender with the necessary quickness and instincts to force turnovers at a healthy rate. 

6'6 '26 Alex Leeth (Tennessee Impact)

In terms of sheer prospects, Leeth might've been one of the most appealing long-term pieces in the entire building. At 6-foot-6, he's a legitimate wing prospect with IQ, athleticism, and an all-around skillset. Leeth displayed ball skills, defensive versatility, and the ability to do everything offensively. He's a quality rebounder and passer with the tools to dominate his assignment on both ends of the floor. Leeth possesses a useful playmaking sense for his size and is capable of playing within a role or expanding his production. He naturally leads by example on both ends of the floor. It was said that he's still gradually returning to full strength from an injury, which was shocking given everything he showcased. Leeth is certainly a name for coaches to know. 

6'7 '27 Desmond Harrington (SC Rebels)

Despite the SC Rebels being short-handed as a team (and playing up multiple levels), it was easy to see the appeal with someone like Harrington. He's young and oozing with upside, yet already has the size, motor, and athleticism to wreak havoc on both ends of the floor. Harrington finds a ton of success through crashing the glass, containing his assignment defensively, and making his presence felt as a finisher offensively. He already runs well for his size and plays well above the rim, so it'll be interesting to see how his physical tools continue to develop going forward. Harrington is truly just scratching the surface and will be one to watch closely over the foreseeable future. 

5'10 '27 Nate Jones (WCBA)

Given his status as a clear leader, it would be impossible to ignore everything Jones brings to this group. He's a quick, wiry, intelligent floor general with a crafty handle and polished scoring arsenal. Jones is a reliable playmaker with sharp vision and an understanding of how to consistently make the right play. That being said, he's able to apply scoring pressure with relative ease from all levels. Jones is a knockdown shooter with a nice midrange pull-up and finishing moves at the rim. He's stronger than his frame would imply and can play through contact really well as a penetrator. Jones is also a scrappy defender and willing rebounder. He's simply a quality young point guard.
