6’9 ’26 Julian Adigun (Durham Hurricanes
Every updated viewing of Adigun leaves more and more optimism about his growth as an overall player. At 6-foot-9, he’s an incredibly long, fluid athlete with the ability to anchor the paint or reliably space the floor. Adigun shoots the ball at an extremely high level for his size and position. He’s a quality finisher and applies pressure from midrange, but is arguably at his best when popping out to the corners and hitting jumpers. Adigun displays a high motor on the glass and works hard to alter/block shots defensively. He runs like a gazelle and knows how to properly fill in the lane (or knock down trail three-pointers) in transition. The upside is obvious, but it’s clear that Adigun is getting better and better. Division I programs should take note.
6’2 ’25 PJ Jeffries (Carolina Flyers)
The Carolina Flyers quietly had their best showing of the season, and Jeffries was a massive reason why. His creation ability and smooth scoring arsenal allowed him to cause a lot of problems for opponents. Whether cutting, creating off the bounce, hitting jumpers, or attacking in transition, Jeffries proved to be a quality option. He defended and rebounded with consistent energy, and showed a willingness to make hustle plays whenever possible. Jeffries highlighted the makings of a college-level player.
5’7 ’28 Avery Scales (Team United GSO)
Few teams have continually improved as much as Team United GSO, which certainly includes Scales and everything he brings to the team. He’s a high-IQ guard and knockdown shooter who simply knows how to produce as a steady two-way piece. Scales is fundamentally sound and understands spacing extremely well. He’s a terrific teammate who makes the extra pass and consistently looks for the best available shot. However, Scales displays the right level of assertiveness as a spot-up threat from beyond the arc. He hits jumpers at a high percentage, but also attacks well off the bounce. Given his age and stature, Scales is still only scratching the surface of his long-term ceiling.
6’0 ’28 Deuce Geer (Durham Hurricanes)
When middle-school players make the game look effortless, it’s usually indicative of real ability. Sure, growth and development definitely matter, but it would be shocking if Geer didn’t become a noteworthy player. Few players score the ball with more ease and less strain. He creates very well off the dribble and shows a willingness to set up open teammates, but simply scores whenever he wants. Geer is a terrific shooter, both off the catch and bounce, and applies consistent pressure as a penetrator. He’s great in transition and displays an understanding of how to get off clean looks within a few dribbles. Geer also highlights quality instincts as a defender and forces turnovers at a solid rate. He will undoubtedly be a prospect to keep an eye on going forward.
6’1 ’26 Devin Goldston (Durham Hurricanes)
Although it’s easy to recognize guys who put up lofty scoring totals, Goldston stands out for his natural leadership and willingness to do whatever it takes to win basketball games. He’s such a smart, tough, rugged, high-motor guard with the mentality and instincts to dominate his assignment on both ends of the floor. Goldston has shown the ability to score the ball in a variety of different ways and reliably create for others. However, he regularly captures attention through his defense, hustle, and adaptability. Goldston naturally impacts all facets of the game. He should appeal to college coaches.
