Start Recognizing More: Phenom MDC
2025 Hayden Assemian (CP3) Assemian is a player that I continue to be impressed with but still think he is a bit underrated as a national prospect and with college programs. Holding a few offers already, Assemian should be a target for many programs with what he provides on the court. When you talk about his game, this is one of the most physical forwards in the region. He bullies his...

He does a great job in getting to his spot and creating his shot, as he...

POB’s Eye Catchers: Day 2 at Phenom MDC (Part 3)
2026 Chris Gomez (CP3 Select): A young prospect that has intrigue with his game, Gomez has good early size, is a confident scorer, and has a strong feel/understanding of the game. He is a smooth-operating prospect that makes plays off the bounce, a smooth finisher in getting to the basket, and is active all over the court. Gomez is a name that I would jot down and look at more down the road....

2024 Jozohn Price (Charlotte Aces): It was good to see Price back in action, as it has been a while since seeing him in action.
