5'7 '22 Jesse Muncy (Tolsia)
The tone-setting leadership of Muncy, an undersized but crafty, decisive point guard prospect largely controlled the opening contest. He handles the ball with poise, consistently looks to make the best available play, and asserts himself regularly as a penetrator or three-point threat. Muncy is a pretty steady offensive presence with flair, vision, and quickness off the dribble.
5'8 '21 Matt Spaulding (Beth Haven)
Though somewhat undersized, the tough, heady point guard prospect was excellent for Beth Haven tonight. Spaulding came off the bench and made immediate contributions, offering quality ball-handling and perimeter shooting from start to finish. He's quick and utilizes his lack of size to his advantage, able to regularly knife through the lane and make plays for himself or others.
6'0 '21 Caleb Maye (Tug Valley)
Despite some early shooting struggles, Maye was clearly the most reliable two-way player on the floor during this contest. He handled the ball with poise and consistently made intelligent plays, both for himself and others. Maye displayed excellent vision, especially when attacking, and wasn't afraid to apply his craftiness at any angle or degree of difficulty. He began scoring the ball at a high clip as the game carried on, offering a strong offensive balance until the final buzzer.
6'5 '22 Austin Ball (Man)
In terms of upside, few prospects were more enticing than Ball, who already produces at a quality rate but clearly has his best basketball ahead. He's a long, wiry wing/forward prospect with a smooth-looking jumper and the ability to space the floor quite effectively. Ball can handle the ball as needed and displays great instincts without the ball in his hands. He moves and defends well for his size.
7'0 '21 Charles Bediako (ISA Academy)
No prospect, especially at this size, has showcased more natural tools and instincts than Bediako at our events. He's long, athletic, and simply possesses an advanced defensive sense as a rim-protector, able to reliably alter shots without fouling. Bediako has great footwork and finishes pretty well around the basket or out of the post. He can also knock down perimeter jumpers on occasion and does so with nice consistency. Although already productive, Bediako has elite potential and could be even better at the next level.
6'1 '20 Fahmir Ali (Beckley Prep)
Although there were plenty of players worthy on this roster, Ali continues to look like the obvious catalyst for Beckley Prep's success. He's a smart, heady floor general with great quickness, vision, and the ability to set up his teammates in a variety of different ways. Ali thrives in transition with teammates filling the lanes, as he's proven to be a capable finisher or setup artist. He's also an excellent defender with anticipation and quality communication skills.
