6’10 ’27 Keaton Gregory (Team Loaded VA)
There were several intriguing prospects on Team Loaded Virginia, including Gregory and the strides he’s made over the last calendar year. He’s a long, wiry big man with a steady, low-maintenance identity on both ends of the floor. Gregory is a reliable finisher with soft touch and the ability to consistently score within the offensive structure. He’s comfortable as a screener in the two-man game and is capable of rolling to the basket or popping to space the floor when necessary. Gregory’s length and activity on the glass make him a very useful two-way rebounder. He blocks shots at a quality rate and runs the floor properly in transition. Clearly trending as a Division I talent, it’ll be interesting to see his continued development going forward.
6’6 ’27 James Minlend (Team Loaded VA)
Despite being from North Carolina, one could argue that Minlend is the most enticing prospect on the Team Loaded Virginia roster. It feels like he makes strides with each new viewing, and this was no exception. Minlend is a long, fluid athlete with an excellent frame, blossoming skillset, and ability to impact the game in a variety of different ways. Whether operating as a main creator or filling in the gaps without the ball, he proved to be effective. Minlend is an efficient scoring option from all levels with the ability to create for himself or set up others. He utilizes his length and anticipation well defensively to force turnovers while toggling between multiple positions. Although the appeal is already obvious, Minlend should only continue to trend upward.
5’11 ’26 Nasir Johnson (Team Resilience United)
The Team Resilience United squad has a variety of scholarship-worthy pieces, and Johnson was as productive as anyone throughout the weekend. He’s a balanced floor general with an excellent combination of IQ, pace, and polish with the ball in his hands. Johnson understands how to consistently get downhill, break down opponents, and create for himself and others. He mixes it up well from all levels and is comfortable operating as a cutter or spot-up threat alongside another creator. Johnson’s well-rounded approach allows him to make a consistent impact on both ends of the floor. He’s a solid defender with toughness and instincts for forcing turnovers.
6’2 ’26 Julius Hymons (Team Loaded 757)
Rounding out this group, Hymons is a guy who can fit in a lot of different settings and produce in a variety of roles. He’s a tough, athletic, high-motor wing who can initiate the offense or fill in the gaps on either end of the floor. Hymons showcased the ability to do a little bit of everything with his combination of scoring, passing, defense, and rebounding. He makes hustle plays to secure extra possessions and makes his presence felt in transition. Various types of programs would be smart to pursue Hymons, as he’s an obvious next-level talent.
