6’0 ’27 Carson Hulsizer (Triad Elite)
It was easy to be impressed with the way Hulsizer propelled this team forward throughout the event. He’s an extremely crafty shot-maker who can fill it up in a variety of ways, both off the catch and dribble. Hulsizer is a lethal spot-up threat and quality creator with the ability to consistently generate clean looks off the bounce. He sees the floor well as passer, but is looking to apply pressure as a scorer whenever possible. Hulsizer can heat up quickly from beyond the arc, but also attacks the basket and picks his spots well for midrange pull-ups. He’s a capable defender and rebounder, but his exceptional offensive polish is what allows him to shine.
6’8 ’27 Brayden Hudson (Upward Stars Upstate)
Clearly one of the more intriguing prospects on this team, college coaches should be in pursuit of a guy like Hudson. He’s a big, sturdy post prospect with quality feel and a polished skillset for his size/position. Hudson utilizes his massive frame to consistently carve out space on the block and battle on the glass. He displays solid touch around the basket, but can also step out and knock down open jumpers along the perimeter. Hudson is a useful faceup threat who can operate from the midrange area and see the floor effectively as a passer. He already impacts the game in various ways, but has clear upside as his body continues to develop.
6’4 ’27 Grady Price (Eastern Carolina Phenomz)
In terms of sheer production, few players found more success than Price. He’s a skilled forward with the size, mobility, and versatility to cause a ton of problems for opponents. Price is a nice scorer from all levels who mixes it up well to keep defenses guessing. He shoots the ball well from the perimeter, posts up smaller players, and finds opportunities through his general activity as a cutter, spot-up threat, or offensive rebounder. Price’s size and skill make him somewhat of a mismatch for opponents, as he’s able to alter his approach based on matchup. Add in his general effort as a defender and rebounder, and he should appeal to various programs.
6’6 ’28 Finn Collini (Save Sports)
Given the value of size and shooting, it’s easy to see why Collini was already a popular name amongst college coaches prior to his recent reclassification. That being said, he’s continued to make strides in developing his all-around game. Collini is still one of the best shooters in the state regardless of class, but is beginning to showcase more ability as a creator, defender, and rebounder. He plays hard, positions himself well, and utilizes his long, wiry frame to his advantage, particularly to force turnovers and outwork opponents on the glass. Collini is a capable on-ball threat who can attack closeouts and make quality decisions with the ball. His game should only continue to grow.
