2026 Julian Adigun (Durham Hurricanes): Adigun is one we have highlighted countless times, and the 6’9 continues to garner attention his way. A very intriguing prospect that still has room for development but was able to be effective in an array of ways. Brings size that helps alter shots, finish around the rim, and be a force on the boards, but is also one that is comfortable in spacing the floor and scoring in a variety of ways.
2028 Michael McLean (Royal Knights): McLean was able to flourish and lead his team early on at the event, as the 6’0 prospect was effective inside and out. He was able to rise and knock down shots from behind the arc on several occasions but also brought athleticism in finishing at the rim. Has a smooth pace and overall feel to his game.
2028 Aiden Dalton (CP3 DLee): Dalton continues to grab our attention as a young big to watch out for in the coming years, and I believe you will be hearing his name sooner rather than later. For his age, he understands how to play his position. He moves well without the ball, posts up strong and finishes with touch around the basket, and also runs the floor well to stay in engaged on the court. Add on top of that his physical frame and ability to impact the game on the boards, he is one to watch out for.
2025 TJ Ray (Carolina Flyers): Ray continues to be an x-factor on the court, making his presence felt in a variety of ways for his team. Effective scorer, can create and get downhill but also play off the catch to knock down shots as well from outside. Mixed it up well, brings value in several areas on the court, and plays with a good motor. Really liked his overall impact for his team.
2025 Brady Dunn (ACE SD): Dunn continues to lead the way this summer for his team; leading by example and putting up impressive numbers. When we watched him, Dunn continued to flourish in his ability to be a shooter from multiple levels but truly flourishing with his range. H showed that in his ability to knock down shots from behind the arc, finishing with 8 3-pointers in one game to lead the charge.
2025 Ian Howard (NLPB 2025): Howard is a player who continues to take the necessary steps in his development as well as being more assertive. He showed that again on Day 1, leading the charge offensively, finding ways to get to the rim and attack the defense, get paint touches, knock down mid-range shots, and create well for himself and others. Active as well on the defensive end.
2024 Nikel Rodgers (Knightdale Hustle): Rodgers had a big game early in the afternoon at the event, showcasing his big-time shot-making ability especially from deep. In the end, he finished with 8 3-pointers to lead his team, scoring off the catch and stretching the defense really well. A ton of confidence with his shot.
2027 Tyrie Pressley (NC Rise): It is hard not to include this young man on your list of standouts, though he has been on here several times before. But when you look at his production and what he brings to the team, he is the definition of production and consistency. Whether you need him to be an offensive weapon or score the ball, he fills it up and plays with a tremendous motor. I’m eager to see how he grows up and think he could be a tremendous asset for a future program.
2025 Raheim Misher (BYBD): Misher continues to go about his business but works so hard on the court when playing. The 6’5 prospect brings length and tremendous activity to the court, attacking the boards, battling through defenders, creating second-chance opportunities, and finish well all around the basket. He simply outworks his opponents and it shows, as he makes an impact on both sides.
2025 Bishop Witherspoon (R4A Scholars): Witherspoon really grabbed my attention with his competitive nature and his willingness to embrace contact to attack the defense. Time after time, the guard was able to make strong drives, attack defenders, finish around the basket and penetrate the defense, but also not afraid to rise up and knock down shots. Simply, he was tough throughout the game.
2025 Camron Myers (Truth Elite): Myers has a strong frame that allows him to showcase his skill set and impact on the game. Though he was able to knock down shots from outside at times, he was terrific in running the floor in transition, attacking the basket, being relentless on the glass, and really being assertive as a player for his team offensively.
