5'8 '21 Matt Spaulding (Beth Haven)

Though somewhat undersized, there's simply no denying the ability of Spaulding, who was a major difference-maker throughout this contest. He's smart, crafty, and always looking to make the best available play. Spaulding handled the ball with poise, made great passes, and scored the ball with efficiency from all over the floor. His three-point shooting was a major factor but Spaulding also played much bigger than his size would imply as a defender.

6'9 '21 Saliou Nguer (Beckley IJN)

There were a ton of talented prospects on this Beckley IJN roster, and Nguer is arguably the most enticing of the group. He has impressive length and understands how to properly utilize it on both ends of the floor to cause havoc for the opposition. Nguer alters and blocks a ton of shots around the basket while also rebounding the ball at a consistently high rate on both ends of the floor. He displays quality touch with both hands from inside the paint and runs the floor very well in transition. Nguer is already very productive but will only get better with additional strength. 

6'5 '21 Akhiris Holden (Henderson Collegiate)

Although he might not have the flair of some, Holden is an incredibly valuable piece to this Henderson Collegiate squad. He doesn't necessarily require offensive touches or plays ran his way in order to maximize his presence. Holden stands out on basically every possession with his motor, athleticism, and rebounding prowess. He simply has a nose for the ball and knows how to make an abundance of plays in transition. 

5'10 '20 Mcquade Canada (Wyoming East)

This Wyoming East squad was resilient from start to finish, and Canada was their leading force the entire time. Even when things looked grim, Canada rose up as a communicator and two-way leader. He consistently set the floor for his team, operating with a calm, patient demeanor and offering a nice balance between playmaking and three-point shooting. Canada fought hard on defense and battled on the glass whenever possible. 

6'0 '22 Kolton Painter (Nitro)

There's a lot to like with Nitro, especially given the youth of their top prospects'which certainly includes Painter. He's a smart, crafty, heady point guard prospect with excellent perimeter shooting and the ability to run a team quite effectively. Painter asserts himself as a leader on both ends of the floor, both through communication and by example. He's already very poised and polished for his age, which should only bring more optimism for his continued growth. 

6'5 '22 Austin Ball (Man)

Although he was their most enticing prospect on the first night of play, Ball began to produce at a quality level in his second showing at the event. Ball is long, wiry, and showcases nice offensive versatility. He highlights some excellent flashes but is truly just beginning to scratch the surface of his long-term abilities. Ball can score inside or outside of the arc and utilizes his length well to alter shots and finish around the basket. He'll be a prospect to keep a close eye on throughout the coming years. 

5'8 '21 Tony Burrell (Winton Woods)

There should be no debating who was the most valuable performer for Winton Woods during this contest, as it was clearly Burrell. He opened the game with an abundance of points, legitimately carrying the offensive load for most of the entire first half. Burrell is a smart, steady guard presence that can penetrate effectively or get going from beyond the arc. He sees the floor well and makes quality passes while also making his presence felt as an on-ball defender. 

5'10 '23 Kaden Smallwood (Greater Beckley Christian)

Despite being the youngest player on the team, Smallwood was arguably their most impressive throughout this showing. He's already very poised and mature with the ball in his hands, showing an excellent comfort level at running a team and working to set up others. Smallwood offers a nice balance between playmaking and scoring, utilizing his quickness and vision to consistently make plays for himself and others. 

6'7 '21 Clarence Rupert (Miller School)

There are so many appealing prospects for The Miller School, but few as enticing or intriguing as Rupert. Through two games at our event, Rupert has been their most destructive, versatile two-way force and has done so in an intelligent, high-motor, efficient manner. He shoots the ball from distance, posts up whenever possible, and has the ability to cause mismatches with his blend of skill, athleticism, and perimeter fluidity. Rupert has all the tools to be very successful at the highest collegiate level.

6'9 '20 Obinna Killen (Chapmanville/Marshall commit)

After their phenomenal showing last night, Killen rose to the occasion and performed even better in their showing tonight. He highlighted defensive versatility but stood out with his ability to burden the offensive load. Killen hit multiple perimeter jumpers while applying strong downhill pressure as a penetrator, making him quite difficult to contain for the opposition. He was nothing short of dominant in the second half and has all the tools to be an immediate contributor at Marshall next season.
