POB’s Eye Catchers: Day 1 at the Phenom Challenge
2024 Owen Stewart (NLE): Though it was the first game of the day, Stewart really grabbed my attention with just how smoothly he operated and his effortless ability to knock down shots. Good size for his positions, Stewart was able to get to his spots well and knocked down shots with a fluid release and range, hitting multiple threes. But he also moved well without the ball, made plays off the...

POB’s Best of the Best: Phenom Challenge (Part 3)
2023 Ka’leel Stillman (SE Elite Gold 2024): Stillman was a new name for us at Phenom Hoops, but he had a lot of buzz surrounding him and his play. Hard to find a player at his size, but he also showcased his touch and feel around the paint, how strong he can be in finishing at the rim, he runs the floor extremely well, and makes his mark on the boards. Stillman really impressed and should...

2024 Jerquarius Stanback (Midstate Magic): Stanback continues to be a prospect on the rise over the last few months. The 6’6 forward shows a strong skill set, is fluid and active on both ends, displays a developing feel in scoring around the basket as well as stepping out at times, and also brings a good presence on the defensive end. Stanback is just scratching the surface of what he...

POB’s Best of the Best: Phenom Challenge (Part 1)
2024 Tyler Showalter (BSA Supreme): Showalter is one that has really seen his game elevate and has been trending upward since the start of the travel ball season. The 6’6 prospect is showing a better understanding of his ability, and is certainly being more assertive overall; being stronger in making plays off the dribble, getting to the basket, and looking more for his jumper from all...

2024 Grant Hamilton (CC Elite): It looked to be a big weekend for the 2024 guard and he has certainly proved himself once again on the big stage. Having a strong start on Day 1, he backed it up again with another strong Day 2, as he continues to fill it up. He plays with such feel and IQ, but also plays with something to prove to everyone. He can be a difference-maker with his outside shooting...

2024 Caarter Bobbitt (Horry Select): Bobbitt certainly earned some intrigue with his game on Day 2 early on, as he was able to show his overall impact on the court. Whether it was displaying his shot-making ability, his ability to make plays off the bounce and use his athleticism, or his overall impact on the boards and being able to handle, Bobbitt certainly earned some eyes his way. 2024 Ryan...

2024 Ameer Ramadan (SE Gold 2024): Going up against a tough matchup in BSA Surpreme, Ramadan was quite impressive in his showing for his team and put him on the watch list more this weekend. Ramadan was crafty, made plays off the dribble for his teammates, was able to create his own shots, and also did a great job in taking smart shots as well. Really good feel and playmaker that was able to...

Player: Neeko TaylorClass: 2022School: South CentralAAU: Raising Young Men The second LIVE period has come and gone but there were so many players that left a terrific impression on us scouts and on coaches after their play.

Contrary to a lot of young kids who think they can, Jayden can really shoot it and has no second thoughts when letting it fly, he came up big with multiple mid ranges and...
