2021 Kuluel Mading (The Burlington School): One can see that Mading has continued to make steps with his game, becoming more comfortable with the ball in hands and creating more off the dribble.  But once again, he also impacts the floor with his ability to block shots, use his long arms on the boards, and run the floor.

2021 Ben Burnham (Carmel Christian): Burnham made it known that he was here to play.  He was off the charts when we watched him, getting after it on both ends, blocking shots, running down defenders, getting on the boards, and scoring on multiple levels.  What you had to like about Burnham was his continuous activity on the floor, which helped seal the game early on at the event.

2022 Chase Lowe (Weddington): Lowe is one that will be interesting to see this season, as he has a chance to start seeing more attention his way.  Why' He has a 6'4 body that leads the charge, initiates the offense but also uses it well when scoring off the dribble.  Tough and physical.

2021 Glenn Bynum (Carmel Christian): You can just see how this young man continues to see his confidence rise on the court.  Bynum is that guy that loves to impact the game in so many ways, defending, rebounding, and making winning plays. But his offense is really starting to be noticed more and consistently.

2021 Toby Harris (Durham Academy): It is perplexing why more schools continue to not be in with Harris but that may change with his showing at the Top 80.  Harris made multiple, high IQ type plays while also showing a pure shooting stroke on the court.

2021 Joseph Ferrante (South Meck): Ferrante is one that took advantage of the opportunity to come and compete.' He isn't the most athletic on the floor but produces, showing really good fundamentals down low in the post, sealing his defenders well, and displaying soft touch around the rim.
