2024 Owen Stewart (NLE):
Out of all the seniors on the list, Stewart was the one that impressed me throughout the event and should be a player for a program still looking for size and shot-making. Stewart is a 6’5 guard who really shined in his ability to play on and off the ball. He understands how to find the open spots on the floor, can knock down shots comfortably from behind the arc or with his mid-range game, but can also use his frame to create off the bounce and get to the rim. He was an effective scoring presence all throughout and would be one to look at.
2024 Jamaal Chrisp (Hoop Love Elite):
Chrisp’s energy and impact on the court grabbed our attention this weekend. A new name that we learned about, there are factors in his game that you have to like. He is a competitor and simply wants to do what it will take to win, but also is one who brings good length, runs the floor well, finishes well at the rim and competes in the paint, and can be active both on the boards or in altering shots.
2024 Ashton Dillon (Team Swish):
Dillon had a strong showing at the Phenom Challenge, and he is one to look at more. He is a tough guard that plays hard and brings a consistent scoring option. Time after time, he was able to make strong drives and create, put pressure on the defense or get to the line, but also was able to knock down open shots from outside as well. He is tough, plays with a high motor, and can help a team at the next level.
2024 Rodney Fullenwider (Mint Hill Lakers):
If you are looking for a shooter and one that can open up the defense, Fullenwider may be a player of interest and he reminded everyone of that in his last game of the event, hitting 8 3-pointers to lead his team. But he has shown this on several occasions, having tremendous confidence from behind the arc and making the defense pay if you give him space.
2024 DeAnthony Ross (SC Spiders-Jones):
Ross could be a hidden gem for a program, coming off a season in which he averaged 15.5ppg and with his 6’7 frame and skillset, Ross showed that he can be impactful in a variety of areas. He brings a lot of versatility to the court with his length as well as his ability to make plays for himself, his ability to operate from multiple levels, score at the rim, knock down shots, create, and play multiple positions on both sides of the ball. Ross would be one to check out late if you are a school still looking.
