6’7 ’27 Donovan Stinney (River City Reign)
Between his size, length, and consistent production, it’s easy to appreciate everything Stinney brings to this group. He’s a mobile forward/big man who can impact the game without needing the ball in his hands. Stinney plays hard to anchor the paint and make his presence felt on the glass. He runs the floor properly in transition and finishes at a consistent rate around the basket. Stinney does a nice job of anticipating to force turnovers or highlighting timing to alter shots defensively. Although already impactful, he has clear upside remaining.
6’5 ’27 Blake Smith (TGS Fleming)
Players who know how to impact all facets of the game will always be coveted, which should make Smith a definite priority for college coaches this summer. He’s a natural glue-guy who can reliably do everything on the court. At 6-foot-5, he’s able to create matchup problems for opponents on both ends of the floor. Smith initiates the offense as needed, but finds most of his scoring opportunities within the flow of the action. He’s a strong driver and finisher, but can also knock down jumpers at a respectable rate. Add in his useful passing, quality rebounding, and versatile defensive presence, and Smith always seems to make an impact.
6’0 ’29 Brison Gullatte (Heat Elite)
Given his impressive poise and polish at such an early age, there’s already a lot to like about Gullatte’s game. He’s a smart, skilled guard who knows how to run a team with unselfishness while actively generating clean looks for himself and others. Gullatte is a smooth three-level scorer who confidently picks his spots and finds ways to exploit opposing defenses. He displays great pace with the ball in his hands, but is also comfortable operating as an off-ball threat when needed. Gullatte is a pesky defender and solid rebounder for his size/position. Though young, he has the makings of a notable player.
5’9 ’28 Jordan Jacobson (Dub Salem)
There’s an abundance of difference-makers within the Dub Salem organization, but Jacobson is deserving of more attention for his unselfishness and consistency as a leader for this group. Though slightly undersized, he’s a pure gamer who runs the offense as a main creator and scoring option. Jacobson utilizes his quickness and tight handle to break down opponents off the bounce and set up others or mix it up as scorer from all levels. He’s a capable finisher and three-point shooter, but is arguably at his best in the midrange. Jacobson also provides a scrappy defensive presence at the point of attack.
