6’6 ’28 Baganley Donzo (Carolina Culture)
The Carolina Culture roster always has a lot of talent, and Donzo is undoubtedly the most physically overwhelming player in the gym. He possesses incredible strength and powerful athleticism with the ability to dominate opponents on both ends of the floor. Donzo is an exceptional rebounder who clears out space and secures the ball inside and outside of his area. He finishes above the rim, through contact, and displays touch with both hands. Donzo also does a great job of blocking and altering shots as a rim protector.
6’7 ’28 Mamoudou Mamadi (Carolina Culture)
Despite only being in the country for a few weeks, the appeal of Mamadi should be quite obvious. Although he’s a raw offensive player with a developing skillset, Mamadi is already able to impact the game in various ways. He possesses insane length and great fluidity for his size, which allows him to reliably control the glass, protect the rim, and run the floor in transition. Mamadi showed flashes of solid touch around the basket and the ability to finish above the rim. He’s only scratching the surface of his long-term potential and certainly possesses traits that others do not. Mamadi will be a player to watch closely.
6’3 ’30 Zyire Howard (Juice Crew)
There were several impressive 2030 prospects on display, and Howard was arguably as impressive as any of them. He already possesses great size with a versatile all-around game. Howard does everything offensively, from dictating the offense to applying scoring pressure from all levels. He does a great job of applying pressure as a downhill threat while making the right play and mixing in jumpers at a solid rate. Howard is also a quality rebounder and defender.
6’2 ’29 Jacob Bray (Team Grind)
It’s easy to appreciate the balance from Team Grind, and Bray stood out several times through his low-maintenance identity. He’s a reliable shooter with nice size and a steady presence on both ends of the floor. Bray knows how to find success as a spot-up threat, but can also attack closeouts and finish or make the necessary pass to an open teammate.
6’2 ’29 Rowen Fitzgibbons (Carolina Bulldogs)
Despite some ups and downs as a team, it was easy to appreciate everything Fitzgibbons highlighted for this group. The lefty is a smooth creator with a reliable perimeter stroke and the ability to mix it up from all levels. Fitzgibbons already possesses great feel and overall understanding of the game, which allows him to make an impact with or without the ball in his hands. He also displays useful instincts as a defender and rebounder. Already armed with an enticing foundation, Fitzgibbons will only continue to improve as he physically develops.
