POB’s Eye Catchers on Day 2 at #PhenomPGNationals (Part 2)
2024 Papa Kounta (S3 Academy): There is a program that needs to snag Kounta, as the 6’5 prospect has put up two strong events and is one that can help a team at the next level. He has the size and versatility that you have to like, while also being able to play and defend multiple positions. Kounta is at his best when he is attacking downhill and getting to the basket but shows flashes of...

POB’s Eye Catchers on Day 2 at #PhenomPGNationals (Part 1)
2024 6’2 Nile Atwater (Chosen 1 Academy): Atwater had a good showing on Day 1 and backed it up again on Day 2 with a strong showing. I really liked how he was able to operate and make plays, whether it was for himself or for others. Atwater mixed it up nicely, attacking and being physical while showing strong handles to create, but also made some terrific passes to set up his teammates...

POB’s Eye Catchers from Day 1 at #PhenomPGNationals
2024 Jeremiah Wilkinson (TSF National): I couldn’t wait to see Wilkinson in action, and he didn’t disappoint with almost a quiet 37-point outing in leading the way. When watching him, he has similar games in how he can operate like UNC’s RJ Davis. He is such a fluid and consistent scoring option, creating strong and finishing over defenders, great change of speed in creating,...

Phenom PG Nationals Standouts (Day One, Part One)
6’7†2024 Jalik Nicholls (NC GBB): Long and athletic wing prospect that plays the game with the kind of disruptive energy you need at the defensive end. Flourishes in transition offensively, very capable pushing the ball on the move after a rebound. A capable catch-and-shoot guy that you have to account for in those situations. More than comfortable switching onto smaller/shiftier guards...

POB’s Thoughts: Plenty of talented bigs from Phenom PG Nationals
2023 Marcus Overstreet (Feltrim): Overstreet may have been my favorite big man to watch, as he was incredibly productive, showcased his ability and impact at 6’9, and really filled it up around the basket. Overstreet simply catches your eye with his motor and activity around the basket, cleaning up on the glass, scoring effectively at the rim or around defenders, running the floor, and making...

POB’s Thoughts: College programs could use these shooters
2023 Jalen Wenger (Speights Academy): Wenger finds his way to the top of the list, because every time I watched him, he showed how deadly he can be from the outside. Coming off the bench, you simply know what he is going to provide after watching a game or two, and he has the utmost confidence in his shot-making and his range. Time after time, he was knocking down threes and displayed his...

Kyler Harris terrorized opponents this past high school season with some of the more entertaining scoring performances I watched all year. One thing is for sure; Harris is not afraid to take it to any defender. His...

Cooper’s Developments: Phenom PG Nationals Day 1
By: Cooper Hart 6’10” ’23 Yulian Montero (Florida Coastal Prep) Montero was easily the most intriguing prospect I saw today thanks to his size, mobility, and ball skills. He’s 6’10” with a solid frame and plus-level quickness for his position. He displayed smooth and efficient shot mechanics in route to making four threes in the second half. His shooting flow was what made him so remarkable,...
