Check out what was said from Phenom Hoops on Friday night of the inaugural Phenom 919 Showcase.
6’1 2025 Kierre Baker (Leesville Road)
Led the way early for Leesville Road, created plays off the bounce and got to his spots. He scored from multiple levels. Can knock down the 3 but has excelled attacking the basket.
Has provided a major spark for this group. Tough, scrappy, and applying consistent pressure as a downhill threat. Playing with infectious energy and dictating the offense as a focal point.
6’1 2027 Nylan Rush (Leesville Road)
Rush is an intriguing young prospect. Quick guard who has made a living getting downhill where he has routinely made good decisions, found the open man & finished at the end of drives.
6’2 2026 Devin Goldston (Leesville Road)
Has a variety of appealing tools. Great athlete with size, shooting, and a polished skillset. Hitting jumpers and making his presence felt defensively
6’2 2025 Kamran Prince (Trinity Academy)
Academy go. Good things happen when the ball is in his hands. Strong, high IQ guard who is able to create paint touches & finishes thru contact. Sees the floor. Good decision maker.
6’1 2025 Parker Bye (Trinity Academy)
Bye is an X-factor for this Trinity Academy group. High IQ guard who makes plays within the framework of the offense. Has a nose for the ball. Rebounds well for his position.
6’2 2027 DJ West (Trinity Academy)
Has a lot of intriguing qualities. Appears to still be growing into his body but already displays a strong blend of IQ, perimeter shooting, and general ability on both ends of the floor. Eager to follow his development
6’4 2026 Zion Wells (Trinity Academy)
Wells is known for his ability to knock down shots from behind the arc, but he has really shown the ability today to create downhill off the bounce. Scholarship player with upside.
5’10 2025 Rodmik Allen (New Hanover)
Has been electric for New Hanover. Showcasing why he’s one of the best unsigned PGs in NC. Super quick/shifty. Gets wherever he wants. Balances shot making with his vision & playmaking ability.
Allen clearly controls the action for this group. Sets the offense, creates shots for others, and scores the ball in a variety of ways. Handles the ball with poise and craftiness. Making great decisions off the bounce.
6’5 2025 Nolan Billings (New Hanover)
Liking what Billings is providing here. Offers a useful amount of skill and a scrappy defensive presence. Producing well around the basket. Active rebounder. Does the dirty work. College-level player.
6’3 2026 Kellum Brown (New Hanover)
Was an X-factor for New Hanover tonight doing a little bit of everything. Made big plays when they needed it. Finished with 12 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists & 2 steals.
5’10 2025 Derek Ross Jr. (Jordan)
Ross is leading the charge for this group. Heady, shifty playmaker with a crafty handle and the ability to comfortably dictate the offensive action. Capitalizing on opportunities as a scorer throughout this contest.
Ross has turned it up a notch here in the 2nd half leading Jordan’s comeback. One of NC’s best unsigned PGs. Elite quickness & vision. Elite in the open floor. Puts pressure on opponents downhill.
6’9 2026 Rivers Knight (Jordan)
Knight is affecting the game on both ends. Applying pressure from around the basket and beyond the arc while controlling the glass and anchoring the paint defensively. Mixes it up well offensively to keep defenses honest.
6’9 2026 Chad Graves (Northwood)
The blend of size, strength, and mobility make 6’9 ‘26 Chad Graves a highly intriguing prospect. Finishing from the block, altering shots defensively, and rebounding on both ends of the floor. Possesses clear physical appeal and long-term potential.
6’5 2026 Cam Fowler (Northwood)
Sets the tone by example. Versatile, fundamentally sound wing who does legitimately everything on the court. Scores from all levels and defends multiple positions. Good rebounder. Plays with consistent energy on both ends.
Fowler is the clear leader for this Northwood team. Athletic, versatile, well-rounded guard who impacts the game on both ends of the floor. Should see an uptick in his recruitment. Scholarship worthy player.
6’1 2025 Beau Harvey (Northwood)
Harvey is key to Northwood’s success. High IQ guard who impacts the game without having to dominate the scoring column. Good decision maker. Active on the defensive end. Seems to always be involved in the play.
6’3 20025 Isaiah Blair
Blair set the tone for Northwood, especially on the defensive end of the floor where he forced 4 steals for the game. High motor guard whose energy is contagious.
6’1 2025 Isaiah Knight (Grace Christian)
Knight is a tough, physical, versatile player who wears multiple hats. Does all the dirty work. Plays bigger than his height. High motor. Key piece for this group.
