2023 McCaskill Rivers: Rivers was absolutely dominant from the start and rolled his way to MVP at the camp. The 6'5 forward moved incredibly well on the floor, running the court to get easy baskets, finishing well around the rim, and through contact. It seems that there weren't many that could slow him down, as he averaged 33 points in an impressive showing; great touch with this young man.
2026 Dionte Neal: This young man has a bright future if he continues to develop and stays with it but you can easily see glimpses of just how effective he can be on the floor as a playmaker and as a point guard. He has that natural leadership ability and IQ on the floor, creating well for others but also for himself. Neal does a terrific job in creating space and opportunities with his dribble and for a player that is only in eighth grade, he plays like a veteran.
2024 Frederico Whitaker: Whitaker is a new name personally for me but call me impressed and certainly one that I will have my eyes on down the road. The 5'10 young guard was effective all throughout the camp, creating well for himself, penetrating the gaps, and showing good body control. He was smooth in how he operated while also making smart decisions but also being aggressive when he had a chance.
2022 Thomas Mandell: Players don't always have to be the offensive juggernaut on the court; there are other ways you can impress our scouts with your play. That is what Mandell did at the camp. Yes, he did show some offensive capabilities but it was his work ethic on the defensive end, getting in defenders and creating havoc, while also showing his unselfish attitude offensively in finding teammates and making the right play. He did all the little things for his team.
2023 Taft Johnson: Johnson is an intriguing prospect and one that could be one to really watch. A 6'4 prospect, he showcases a versatile game and has an impact in an array of ways. Johnson moves really well and understands how to be effective inside and out, makes unselfish plays on the court, and brings a little bounce to the floor. He understands how to be effective in several positions.
2025 Evan Dean: Though just a freshman, Dean put on a show to end his day, scoring 33 points. With him already being 6'5 at his age, there is some upside to his game as he grows, gets stronger, and develops his overall feel. And with his feel around the basket that he showed, he was able to make his mark on the camp.
2026 Jacob Mills: Only an eighth-grader but Phenom has been familiar with Mills for quite some time now, coming to multiple camps. But in this Phenom 150, he really opened more eyes with just how dangerous he can be from deep. A confident shooter that doesn't need much space, he knocked down multiple shots from three and should only continue to add to his arsenal down the road.
