6’2 ’26 Donyeh Baird (Young & Motivated)
Arguably the most impressive unsigned senior on display, Baird continued to showcase the tools of someone who should be coveted by college coaches. He’s a long, athletic guard with great size, playmaking capabilities, and scoring prowess. Baird excels at getting downhill and putting pressure on the rim, both in transition and the halfcourt, but can also knock down jumpers at a quality rate along the perimeter. He’s a tough, scrappy defender who displays nice physicality and instincts to force turnovers. Baird also rebounds his position well.
6’0 ’27 Marcus Jones (Chattanooga Elite)
Although there are a lot of valuable pieces on this Chattanooga Elite squad, Jones consistently found ways to stand out as a utility piece on both ends of the floor. He’s a tough, scrappy, well-rounded guard who knows how to reliably fill in the gaps and produce within the flow of the action. Jones displayed the ability to initiate the offense, set up others, move without the ball, and score in a variety of ways. He hit jumpers, finished at the basket, and looked to make the right play with the ball in his hands. Jones highlighted an active motor defensively and on the glass, and positioned himself well to make plays in transition.
5’9 ’28 Shakur Summers (Young & Motivated)
Given his tough, scrappy two-way presence, it feels like Summers always seems to stand out as a difference-maker for this group. He’s an incredibly quick, heady guard with the ability to touch the paint basically whenever he desires. Summers utilizes his tight handle and sharp first step to effortlessly break down opponents off the bounce, where he’s able to score or reliably set up others. He’s a rugged defender who displays the ability to mirror opposing ball-handlers and wreak havoc with his energy. Summers makes hustle plays and does a lot of little things for this squad.
5’11 ’32 Saiyan Royster (Mamba Squad)
Though young, it’s easy to see the long-term appeal with a prospect like Royster. He’s already a very fluid athlete with great size and an understanding of how to use his physical tools to cause problems for opponents on both ends of the floor. Royster is a capable finisher with developing ball skills and scoring polish. He does a great job of securing rebounds, altering shots, and making plays in transition. Still only scratching the surface of his long-term abilities, there’s certainly a lot to like about his foundation.
