6'5 '23 Uchenna Kellman (Speights Academy)
Although it would be easy to select various different standouts from this contest, Kellman earns recognition due to his smooth, polished identity. He's smart, skilled, and able to make an impact with or without the ball in his hands. Kellman is a notable shooter, both from midrange and beyond the arc, who can create for himself or others. He moves well without the ball, makes the extra pass, and consistently capitalizes within the flow of the action.
6'5 '23 Mikhail Pocknett (Flight 22 Prep)
There were a lot of notable contributors for Flight 22 Prep, which certainly includes Pocknett and everything he brought to the table. He's a strong, versatile wing/forward prospect with an understanding of how to initiate the offense, get downhill, and create scoring opportunities for himself and others. Pocknett defends and rebounds his position effectively, displaying the ability to force turnovers, secure extra possessions, and convert second-chance opportunities.
6'4 '23 Joe Thomas (Feltrim Academy)
The Feltrim Academy Regional squad has a slew of useful pieces, and Thomas stood out as much as anyone. He's a strong, bouncy, fairly skilled wing prospect with the ability to knock down jumpers, attack off the bounce, and cause constant problems for opponents in transition. Thomas can finish with touch or explosion, but understands how to make an impact within the flow of the action.
6'8 '23 Kir Diew (RADD)
In terms of steady, productive, low-maintenance performers, it would be impossible to ignore everything Diew showcased throughout the course of this game. He's long, active, and able to naturally find scoring opportunities without needing a ton of touches. Diew finishes well around the basket, rebounds his position, and alters shots well defensively. He truly understands how to thrive within a low-maintenance role on both ends of the floor.
6'0 '24 Mardrecus Moreland (Kingsmen Academy)
There have been numerous quality guards on display, and Moreland has produced as well as anyone. He's a very quick, heady lead guard with feel, vision, and a crafty handle. Moreland breaks down opponents and touches the paint with relative ease, where he's able to finish or make the necessary pass to set up others. He applied pressure from all three levels while comfortably dictating the pace for this group.
6'8 '23 Chilaka Godswill (Westlake Prep)
Although Westlake Prep was among the more balanced squads on display, Godswill still made a lasting impression in this showing. He's incredibly strong with great versatility and the ability to make plays with or without the ball in his hands. Godswill is able to overwhelm opponents with his sheer physicality around the basket, but can also pass and handle the ball well for his size. He's a quality rebounder with sharp defensive instincts.
6'3 '23 KJ Vasser (TSF Global)
The TSF Global squad had numerous noteworthy performers, and Vasser was arguably as impressive as anyone. He's a knockdown shooter with the ability the initiate the offense, create off the bounce, and apply phenomenal pressure as a spot-up threat. Vasser was heavily involved in the action on both ends of the floor, being engaged defensively, getting out in transition, and doing a lot of positive things offensively. He led this group in a ton of different ways, including communicating, making hustle plays, and setting the tone on offense.
6'3 '23 Issa Baker-Toombs (Hamilton Hall)
There were multiple notable performances throughout the day, but it would be impossible to overlook Baker-Toombs and his seemingly unstoppable showing. He's a strong, physical guard with the ability to consistently penetrate or get downhill in transition and make plays with the ball in his hands. Baker-Toombs finishes with touch and athleticism, and knocks down perimeter jumpers at a healthy rate. He also made smart, unselfish decisions with the ball and contained his assignment well defensively.
