2024 Isaiah Sutherland (UFCA): It was a balanced attack overall for this team, but I liked what I saw from Sutherland. I believe he could be a great steal for a program, as he is embracing well being a force around the basket, continuing to flourish as an athletic forward, and bringing a nice presence on both sides of the ball.

2024 AJ Parsley (Mooresville): Parsley is the definition of a point guard and a team-first pe of guy; he loves to do the little things for his team on both ends of the court, strapping up defensively on the ball, creating off the dribble and showing his quickness, and doing a nice job in setting up his teammates but also taking advantage of scoring opportunities.

2026 Cameron Newman (Gaston): Newman flourishes once again on the big stage, as the young point guard knows how to perform in the bright lights.
