2024 Bryson Heath (Warriors): Heath fit the name on his jersey; even though the game didn't go the way he wanted, Heath really showcased his ability to create and use his speed to his advantage. Creating well off the dribble, Heath was able to get around defenders and make play after play, creating not only his own shot but setting up others. 2025 Jayden Little (NC Jayhawks): Little led the...

2024 Alex Atkinson Jr. (Upward Stars Columbia) Alex Atkinson Jr. is a long and athletic big man. He has great touch around the rim and can stretch the defense out with his jump shot. This weekend he showed a lot of toughness and was about to rebound the basketball. Atkinson Jr. can also protect the rim and his stock is rising in the class of 2024 this summer. 2024 Derrick Green (Team Wall)...

Reece's Standouts: Phenom Summer Havoc (Day 3)
by: Ethan Reece 2025 Derek Ross (NC Wildcats)Derek has been undeniably exceptional this week and has displayed a sharp edged point guard game in every aspect. His handle is tight and shifty breaking guys down, he's poised in the moment, and others look to him for direction. That's the definition of a PG. He consistently gets lane penetration to create for others, but has been unstoppable scoring...

Player Standouts at Day Two of Phenom Summer Havoc
6'3 '25 Omaurie Phillips (Team Trezz) Although there were a ton of standouts on this Team Trezz roster, Phillips consistently found ways to stand out with his tough, rugged approach. He's a very physical, athletic wing prospect who doesn't require offensive touches in order to make a lasting impact. Phillips plays extremely hard, pursues rebounds and loose balls, and does the little things on...

Reece's Standouts: Phenom Summer Havoc (Day 1)
by: Ethan Reece 2026 Landon Haggarty (Team Hope)Guys like Landon are the reason there's an expanding usage of positionless basketball. Playing up a level and still one of the biggest guys, he has an uncommon mobility for his frame that allows him to naturally plug in as a bigger guard who is more than capable of making plays on the perimeter or in the open court. He finished with 22 in a...

POB’s Eye Catchers from Summer Havoc Live Session 1 (Nation Ford, Day 1)
2025 Malik Morris (Save Sports): The 6'6 forward is a young big man but he really showed flashes of what he can bring to the table. He possesses a strong frame and a developing game on the court, but he used his size, length and physicality well to finish strong around the basket and remain active all throughout the game on Day 1. He is a young big but one to monitor as he continues to get...

Dawkins’ Standouts from LaMelo Ball Invitational (Day 2)
By; DeAjai Dawkins 6'6 2023 Walker Woodall (Wildcats Elite 17U) Woodall is a player I've seen make his presence felt this summer alongside his Jordan High School teammates. Woodall can take control of a game through his perimeter shooting and overall intelligence. He's a competitor that should be tagged alongside the perimeter at all times. Standing at a strong 6'6, Woodall contributes heavily...

Dawkins’ Standouts: HoopState League/ Fall Finale
By: DeAjai Dawkins 6'3 2022 Toby Nnadozie (Believe Prep National) Few players have impressed me these past few weeks like Toby Nnadozie, as few players have been as consistently productive on the offensive end. Physical with explosive athleticism, Nnadozie offers a competitive presence about him that could be acknowledged by any onlooker. He's comfortable scoring from beyond the arc as well. I...

Player Standouts from Day 1 of Phenom Summer Showcase
by: Ethan Reece 2026 Dionte Neal (CSB Elite)Dionte is a PG that can take over the game very easily. Quick and shifty with his handles, it's hard for opponents to stay in front and keep him from getting to his spots. Controls the game well for such a young guard, rare to see such poise and patience. He made strong moves to the basket, finishing with his footwork and quickness 2025 Derek Ross (NC...

Dawkins’ Day 2 Standouts: Grassroots TOC
By; DeAjai Dawkins 2023 6'2 Jai'son Williams (WBC Elite 2023) Jai'son has passed an unspoken test of consistency, as he's performed with the same level of scoring dominance that he did last weekend. Williams is averaging over 20 points for the weekend, and has done an exceptional job of sharing the wealth despite the fact that he's asserted himself as a scorer. His length allows for easy...
