2024 6’8 Jayden Nesbitt (DSA Prep Academy): Nesbitt was an intriguing forward who was able to make his presence felt. Good size a 6’8, active all over the court, finished well around the rim, showed the ability and comfort level in knocking down the mid-range jumper, and was able to face up and attack closeouts. 2024 6’7 Bryce Wilkins (Elite Sports Atlanta): Wilkins went about his business at...

Players to Check Out More: Phenom PG Nationals (Part 2)

2024 6’9 Dean Simos (WS Christian PG): Simos is a sneaky prospect to look at; he is one that brings size, has a versatile skill set in his game, shows that he can pass the ball well at his position, displays a nice touch in finishing around the basket, and faces up to stretch the defense out.  Continues to be consistent in his last two events. 2024 6’9 Shomari Phillip (TSF National): Absolutely...

Catching the eyes of D1 Programs: Phenom PG Nationals

2024 Jackson Gaffney (Rocktop Academy): Gaffney was one that we were eager to see and grabbed our attention with his game. He is a long prospect who has a smooth offensive game, and certainly showed that he can knock down shots with a ton of confidence.

POB’s Best of the Best: Phenom PG Nationals

2024 Jeremiah Wilkinson (TSF): Wilkinson, who is already committed to California, was a name that we were eager to see, and he didn’t disappoint in any way. He started off the event with a “quiet” 37-point outing to lead his team, and he only continued to back that with his play all weekend long. Wilkinson is a dynamic scoring guard who understands how to fill it up. Whether Wilkinson was able...

Champions of Champions: Phenom PG Nationals

Post Grad Gold Division: Combine PG Coming in as one of the top teams in the event, Combine PG was able to flex its muscles and get through the field impressively to secure the Gold Division Championship.

Phenom PG Nationals Standouts (Day Two)

6’2” 2024 Jeremiah Wilkinson (TSF Prep/Cal Signee): Wilkinson is a really refined scorer with the ability to make things happen from all three levels. When TSF is in trouble, they set Wilkinson on a ball screen and let him make magic happen. He’s an elite left-hand finisher in traffic, has legit range on his jump shot off the catch or bounce, and is an incredible leader both vocally and by...

POB’s Eye Catchers on Day 2 at #PhenomPGNationals (Part 2)

2024 Papa Kounta (S3 Academy): There is a program that needs to snag Kounta, as the 6’5 prospect has put up two strong events and is one that can help a team at the next level.  He has the size and versatility that you have to like, while also being able to play and defend multiple positions. Kounta is at his best when he is attacking downhill and getting to the basket but shows flashes of his...

POB’s Eye Catchers on Day 2 at #PhenomPGNationals (Part 1)

2024 6’2 Nile Atwater (Chosen 1 Academy): Atwater had a good showing on Day 1 and backed it up again on Day 2 with a strong showing. I really liked how he was able to operate and make plays, whether it was for himself or for others. Atwater mixed it up nicely, attacking and being physical while showing strong handles to create, but also made some terrific passes to set up his teammates well for...

POB’s Eye Catchers from Day 1 at #PhenomPGNationals

2024 Jeremiah Wilkinson (TSF National): I couldn’t wait to see Wilkinson in action, and he didn’t disappoint with almost a quiet 37-point outing in leading the way. When watching him, he has similar games in how he can operate like UNC’s RJ Davis. He is such a fluid and consistent scoring option, creating strong and finishing over defenders, great change of speed in creating, gets to his spots...

Phenom PG Nationals Standouts (Day One, Part One)

6’7” 2024 Jalik Nicholls (NC GBB): Long and athletic wing prospect that plays the game with the kind of disruptive energy you need at the defensive end. Flourishes in transition offensively, very capable pushing the ball on the move after a rebound. A capable catch-and-shoot guy that you have to account for in those situations. More than comfortable switching onto smaller/shiftier guards and...

POB’s Thoughts: Plenty of talented bigs from Phenom PG Nationals

2023 Marcus Overstreet (Feltrim): Overstreet may have been my favorite big man to watch, as he was incredibly productive, showcased his ability and impact at 6'9, and really filled it up around the basket. Overstreet simply catches your eye with his motor and activity around the basket, cleaning up on the glass, scoring effectively at the rim or around defenders, running the floor, and making...

POB’s Thoughts: College programs could use these shooters

2023 Jalen Wenger (Speights Academy): Wenger finds his way to the top of the list, because every time I watched him, he showed how deadly he can be from the outside.' Coming off the bench, you simply know what he is going to provide after watching a game or two, and he has the utmost confidence in his shot-making and his range. Time after time, he was knocking down threes and displayed his...

Kyler Harris terrorized opponents this past high school season with some of the more entertaining scoring performances I watched all year. One thing is for sure; Harris is not afraid to take it to any defender. His...
