2025 Dalton Johnson (Basketpoint)
There's a reason the team's nickname for him is Dynamite, he provides such a spark as a leader for this group. Many of these guys are capable of interchangeably running the point, but Dalton is their most true point guard who consistently looks to set others up and provide game management through ball control and movement. His decision making is poised in the moment and is key towards their team scheme on both ends, leading to their continued success this spring.
2024 Kito Douglas (TB Kings)
Talk about a guy who seemed to be everywhere, Kito is an overwhelmingly athletic guy to try and deal with. He has a true bulldog mentality, not backing down from anyone and setting the tone extremely high in terms of physicality. He didn't occupy a specific position, he was just one of those guys that had his hands in everything and was leaving defenders backing up with his aggression. No surprise to se that he's also a stud on the football field.
2024 Aaron Coleman (TB Kings)
The second gear in this team's engine, Aaron was also a physical athlete that thrived in the scrappy environment they created. While having a more defined position that put him as the 5, he showed real comfort in taking guys off the bounce and finishing shots that were tougher than normal post points. With his length and tenacity, he was also a ferocious rim protector that was hard to get anything up over.
2024 Caden Wilson (WBC Elite)
Caden was as swift as they come and really looked like he was floating with how smooth he made the game seem. He controlled action and tempo as the floor general, but also held a role in providing a heavy scoring option where he made genuinely strong moves to the basket. You weren't going to just take the ball from him, and he proved you'd have to foul him to stop him from getting to the basket, turning in easy points from the FT line.
2025 Joshua Dorsette (Save Sports)
Joshua will have to come to mind when you talk about game managers in the 2025 class for NC. The smart point guard simply doesn't make mistakes or turn the ball over. He stays patient running the offense as a strong ball handler and decision maker while also being able to provide his scoring contributions with his touch and deep ball. His teammates always benefit from his facilitation and that's the kind of guy you want running the show.
