2026 Tyler Brown (Crown Academy)
Tyler immediately passes the eye test and once just a few minutes into the game he passes the evaluation test. Tyler has the potential to be a special two-way big with his already outrageous length and mobility. He's a natural rim protector with instincts and timing, and he can cover ground so quickly. He can turn boards into transition pushes and shows a basic understanding of good decision-making.
2026 Darvius Colyer (Shot Callerz)
Darvius impressed more and more as the weekend went on, and as the games got more intense he got tougher and scrappier. He's a lead guard that's built like a running back, strong muscular frame and great acceleration with light controlled feet. His presence was felt all over. s he barreled down the lane, stopped for pullups, and crashed the rim for putbacks.
2025 Rodmik Allen (WBC Elite)
As just a freshman, Rodmik might be the most impressive in terms of ball control. His skillset there is already next level, he's a gifted finisher that's hyper coordinated and can get extremely shifty while still staying under control. You can just tell the game moves slow around him, he's very comfortable and calm for being so explosive. Can't leangth too heavy one way defensively as he's really just a guy that will take advantage of whatever you do and hits shots from all over at a high percentage.
2026 Nolan Erickson (Crown Academy)
The smallest guy on the court was also the toughest. His play as the focal leader for his team was infectious with energy and fueled a lot of the offense. He hit big shots and had the outside game, but was really just a scrappy go-getter that you could tell loved competing. His value as a tone setter was high, regardless of number stats. And he led his team to a successful weekend, marking them down as a team I'll be sure to watch over the season.
