6’0 ’26 Tyrin Graham (Mint Hill Lakers)
After watching him throughout the weekend, it’s difficult to be anything other than impressed with Graham and his impressive offensive prowess. He’s a polished creator with a terrific combination of quickness, craftiness, and perimeter shooting. Graham breaks down opponents and applies downhill pressure as a penetrating threat, but is arguably at his best when heating up from beyond the arc. Graham is a pure microwave who consistently showed the ability to knock down shots in succession, and largely disregard defensive pressure. It’s clear that he’s a college-level player, so it’ll be fun to watch him blossom over the summer for this group.
6’3 ’25 Ian Howard (NLPB)
Although NLPB offers excellent balance as a group, Howard regularly finds ways to stand out as a difference-maker. He’s a smart, well-rounded guard who is comfortable dictating the offense or finding opportunities without the ball. Howard looks to get downhill, collapse the defense, and finish or make the proper pass to an open teammate. However, he’s also a reliable shooter and off-ball cutter. Howard rebounds well for his position and understands how to effectively push the break in transition. Given his production and adaptable identity, he should be a target for college coaches this summer.
6’4 ’25 Evan Ingram (R4A Scholars)
Despite playing in a role for the high school season, Ingram has shown a complete game (and leadership qualities) over the last month or so. He’s a strong, versatile wing/forward who can do a healthy amount of everything. Ingram is capable of making plays with the ball in his hands, both for himself and others, and displays IQ as a decision-maker. He’s tough, smart, and offers consistent energy on both ends of the floor. Ingram is a reliable defender who can toggle between multiple positions and secure rebounds at a frequent rate. Coaches should definitely be in pursuit of Ingram and several others (including Bishop Witherspoon) on this roster.
6’2 ’25 CJ Jackson (Truth Elite)
It can be challenging to properly quantify the value that Jackson brings to this Truth Elite squad. They have phenomenal balance, chemistry, and unselfishness as a whole, but it feels like Jackson shines as their tone-setter and leader by example. Whether scoring, playmaking, rebounding, defending multiple positions, he truly impacts all facets of the game. Jackson is great in the midrange, reliable from beyond the arc, and finishes extremely well through contact. That being said, he’s more than willing to defer to others and hunt for the best available shot. Jackson is the type of player who will carve out a role wherever he ends up.
6’6 ’26 Aden Jeffries (Durham Hurricanes)
Easily the most impressive prospect on display, Jeffries showcased a ton of appeal—both as a current player and long-term talent. At 6-foot-6, he’s long, wiry, and possesses an impressive blend of IQ, skill, and athleticism. Jeffries handles the ball very well for his size and showed the ability to consistently create shots for himself and others. He scored the ball at a healthy rate from all levels while highlighting a healthy array of ways to apply pressure. Jeffries’ high motor allows him to make a constant impact on the glass (even if he doesn’t secure the rebound) and wreak havoc defensively. Between his ability to guard multiple positions and do a variety of different things offensively, Jeffries has obvious appeal. Expect him to be a definite target for Division I coaches going forward.
