By; Brady Malston 2026 Kamauri Hunter (Carolina Rebels SC):When I first saw Hunter playing this weekend for the 17U Carolina Rebels SC squad, I was blown away to learn he was a 2026. His communication and maturity on the court are well beyond his years, and I’m certain this will only continue to improve as he ages. He provided his team with unrelenting on-ball defense and would pick up in the...

2024 Armani Henderson (BTB 2024): Henderson has had a strong month or so on the Phenom Hoops platform, as he has been putting up some impressive numbers each time he steps on the court.

High School: Top Performer- 6’6 ’24 Tyler Showalter (Butler) The versatile two-way forward was easily the most consistently productive performer throughout the event. Showalter secured the MVP award by playing hard, unselfishly dictating the action as the offensive focal point, and establishing his presence as a defender and rebounder.

2025 Malik Morris (Save Sports): The 6’6 forward is a young big man but he really showed flashes of what he can bring to the table. He possesses a strong frame and a developing game on the court, but he used his size, length and physicality well to finish strong around the basket and remain active all throughout the game on Day 1. He is a young big but one to monitor as he continues to get...
