2026 Dionte Neal (CP3 2026)
What hasn’t already been said about Neal already? He understands the game, knows how to lead an offense and team, and is a true presence on both sides of the court. Neal is tremendous in being a creator, a facilitator, or a scorer, impacting and running the show for a team and also making a huge presence on the defensive end. This is the summer that college coaches need to start recognizing Neal’s talent and presence and start sending offers.
2026 Kohl Rosario (CP3 2026)
Rosario has been one of my favorite players to watch this season. Of course, his highlight reels speak for itself with his impressive athleticism along with his ability finish to finish at the rim. But his game is so much more than that; he is a strong guard that fits well within the offense, doesn’t force anything, and takes what is given, whether that is attacking the basket or knocking down shots. He plays with an excellent overall feel and is a tremendous teammate on and off the court.
2026 Lance Barnes (Upward Stars)
Barnes had a really good high school season and I think he will carry that over this summer with Upward. He is a good-sized point guard who shows he can do a little bit of everything but also still has potential in his game. Barnes is at his best when he is attacking and creating, getting inside the defense as well as finding open teammates. But he is one that impacts the game in a variety of other ways.
2026 Bradley Floyd (Team United)
Floyd continues to be a player I believe that his best years are ahead of him as he continues to develop. But again, what he is able to provide and his overall versatility are hard to pass up. He can truly play all positions if needed at 6’5, comfortably switching on defense, running point on offense, setting teammates up, playing off the ball in creating, helping on the glass, and being a true stuffer on the court. There aren’t too many players like him in what he can provide as a true value player on the court.
2026 Zyree Brown (Sewer South)
First time I watched Brown on the court, but I was certainly impressed. Brown, who is a smaller guard, might have been one of the quickest and most explosive guards with the ball in his hands. Defenders couldn’t stay in front of him with his first step, weaving through defenses, creating off the bounce, getting to his spots, and penetrating the defense. Again, his overall speed and ability to create/score for himself were quite impressive.
2026 Jayden Scott (STARS Basketball)
Scott was another guard who truly shined in the eyes of several of our scouts. He looked in control, played with pace, and flourished as a true point guard on the court. Scott flourished with his overall court vision and awareness, displaying crafty handles, running the show, being an efficient scorer when needed, and being a true competitor on the court.
2026 Braysen Stockman (Middleton Select)
Stockman may have had the best “eye-opening” performance of the event with his 32-point showing against Drifty Elite to help lead Middleton Elite. Stockman is a true competitor, taking on all challenges and really being a strong multi-level scorer. He was able to hurt the defense with his three-point shooting, got to his spots for his jump shot off the bounce, or finished around defenders at the rim. But he made high IQ decisions, pushed well in transition, and got other teammates involved.
