6’7 ’25 Rylan Parkins (NLPB)
There’s a lot of value in reliable big men, and Parkins was among the most dependable interior guys on display. His game is extremely steady. Parkins is a capable scorer on the block with the blend of size, touch, and footwork to finish around the basket. He consistently battles for rebounds, alters shots defensively, and runs the floor effectively in transition. Parkins can affect the game with or without touches, and that should certainly appeal to college coaches.
6’3 ’25 Branson Leduc-Maddox (Hill City Crash)
Although there were a variety of intriguing pieces from this team, Leduc-Maddox stood out as a primary focal point. He’s long, explosive, and versatile, which naturally seemed to cause problems for opponents on both ends of the floor. Leduc-Maddox handles the ball well and looks to get downhill whenever possible, but can also knock down jumpers at a solid rate. He’s a tough, engaged defender who plays with a high motor. While he does play football, Leduc-Maddox would be a great addition for several basketball programs.
6’6 ’25 Kellen Karr (Carolina Riptide)
It doesn’t take long to recognize the combination of size and skill makes Karr an absolute matchup problem for opponents. He’s a highly versatile wing who can dictate the offense, create for himself and others, and apply scoring pressure from all levels. Karr utilizes his body well to overwhelm opponents. He’s too skilled to be defended by bigger opponents and too physically overpowering to be contained by smaller guards. Karr rebounds, defends multiple positions, and shines as an overall leader for this group.
6’6 ’25 Larenz Stevenson (Bigger Than Basketball)
It’s easy to see the intrigue with Stevenson, who showcased a lot of enticing flashes throughout the weekend. He’s a long, fluid big man with the ability to impact a game in a variety of different ways. Stevenson finishes well around the basket but can also space the floor or make quality passes to his teammates. He displays great instincts as a defender and rebounder, which allows him to reliably anchor the paint on both ends of the floor. Stevenson also has clear upside remaining, and will be one for coaches to target sooner than later.
6’3 ’25 Josiha Crandle (Team Trezz)
Although his running mate received a ton of attention, Crandle is definitely someone who coaches noticed throughout the five-day stretch. He’s a long, powerful athlete with a useful array of physical tools and the ability to find constant success as an off-ball threat. Crandle is a quality cutter who constantly plays above the rim and applies pressure in transition. That being said, he’s shown the ability to hit perimeter jumpers and attack closeouts when necessary. Crandle plays to his strengths as a utility guy who defends multiple positions and does the dirty work.
