2026 Jordan Tate (Team Pittman 2026)
Tate has been consistent for some time now. Again, at the Phenom Rise Showcase, he was able to display his assertiveness as a downhill guard, one that attacked well off the dribble and finished through contact, and does a nice job in finding ways to mix it up offensively. I really do like his ability to assert himself when needed but also play within what his team needs.
2026 Julian Adigun (SW15H Elite)
I swear, Adigun is one that is like a “secret weapon” of sorts right now, but I could see him having a big summer and catching more eyes. There is a lot of intrigue with his game at 6’10, his fluidity, and his ability to make plays from a variety of levels comfortably. He is skilled enough to stretch the court with his outside shot and three-point shooting but also presents the size to finish around the rim, run from rim to rim, and make his presence felt defensively.
2026 Dane Cassada (Dub Salem)
When you talk about production, Cassada should certainly be in the discussion, as this young man gets it done every time. He has a mature feel to the game, makes good reads, plays within what the team needs him to do, and also can be such a weapon offensively. One can see he continues to impress with his outside shooting but also doesn’t mind finishing in traffic, through defenders, and finding ways to get to the free-throw line.
2026 Ayden Johnson (CP3 EYCL)
Johnson has had a great start to the season and should be coming up on more radars with his play. After a strong high school season, he has only continued to play at a high level in leading the way. A true scoring threat with his quickness and burst, driving and creating, and his ability to change the game from outside has been impressive so far to start the summer ball season.
2026 Stephano Farrington (Mint Hill Lakers)
Farrington is one that I believe should garner more attention. He has the length, athleticism, and size that college programs would like to have, and his impact on both offensively and defensively can’t be denied. Strong finisher that finishes high at the rim and with power, and has great timing in altering shots or attacking the glass.
