2026 Alex White (Team Ish): White really impressed me with his overall play and feel for the game. For his position, he has tremendous length and size, and used that athleticism to his advantage to attack and get downhill, as well as out in transition. He balanced it out though well, playing with poise, reading the defense, and knocking down shots from outside with range. White is an effective option both on and off the ball and creates well for himself.
2025 Dylan Deluca (CC Elite): Deluca has really elevated his play over the last year; finishing off a strong high school season and now looking to bring that same intensity to the court this summer, Deluca should be a sneaky prospect to watch out for. With his size and skill set, he can be used and operate from multiple levels, creating touch matchups inside or out. Deluca continues to be a consistent scoring threat on the court but also impacts the game in all other areas as well.
2026 Ayden Johnson (CP3 2026 EYCL): Johnson is such a fun guard to watch on the court. His blend of quickness, handles, and ability to knock down shots make him tough to stop and he showed that time after time. With the ball in his hands, Johnson uses his speed extremely well to get by defenders, get into the paint, and finish with touch; also really strong out in transition. But he can hurt you as well from behind the arc just as much.
2028 Chase Smith (Cota Elite): A name you will be hearing a lot more about in the coming years, as he could be special down the road. There is a lot to like about his size, physicality, and his upside, especially at his age. He has a strong early skillset in his ability to be a true big in the paint, finishing strong and with touch but also stepping out to knock down shots with his mid-range game.
