2024 Amari Latham (Team PUSH NC) showing more to his game
A player that I believe had one of the biggest LIVE periods at the Phenom Challenge and Phenom Hoops LIVE was 2024 6'5 Amari Latham.

2023 Ka’leel Stillman (SE Elite Gold 2024): Stillman was a new name for us at Phenom Hoops, but he had a lot of buzz surrounding him and his play. Hard to find a player at his size, but he also showcased his touch and feel around the paint, how strong he can be in finishing at the rim, he runs the floor extremely well, and makes his mark on the boards. Stillman really impressed and should...

2024 Gage Lattimore (Carolina Clutch): Lattimore came into Day 3 with something to show and prove, and he did as he put on an impressive scoring show.
