The Phenom 336 Showcase once again provided a strong platform for players across multiple classes to display their skill, production, and overall upside. Guards and wings stood out with their shot-making, athleticism, and ability to impact the game in a variety of ways. Below is a look at several prospects who turned in impressive performances and continue to trend upward heading into the summer.
6’1 2027 Cayden Simmons (All Carolina)
Simmons was one of the steadiest performers of the day, producing with consistency from start to finish. The strong, physical guard used his body well to create driving angles and attack the rim under control. He also showed confidence in his jumper, converting quality looks and proving capable of scoring at multiple levels.
6’0 2029 Jayden Mowrey (Carolina Stars)
Mowrey continues to establish himself as one of the more dangerous perimeter shooters in his class. He steps into shots with excellent rhythm and has the range to stretch defenses well beyond the arc. His confidence as a shooter forces defenders to close out hard, creating additional driving opportunities for himself and his teammates.
6’3 2027 Teeshon Smith (Young & Motivated)
Smith displayed a well-rounded and aggressive scoring package throughout the showcase. He knocked down perimeter shots, attacked open gaps, and pushed the pace effectively in transition. His constant movement and willingness to make the extra pass also helped generate quality opportunities for those around him.
6’3 2027 Isiah Lockhart (Waverunners Elite)
Lockhart continues to show notable growth in his skill set. Over the past month, he has made significant strides as a perimeter shooter while maintaining his ability to attack the basket with confidence. His handle and off-the-bounce creation allow him to generate separation and put consistent pressure on the defense.
5’11 2028 Jaylen Byers (Team Pittman)
Byers brought toughness, speed, and athleticism to the floor. He excelled at attacking tight spaces and used his explosiveness to finish effectively at the rim. On the defensive end, he was a relentless on-ball presence, using his quickness and competitiveness to disrupt opposing guards.
2028 Draeton Nance (Team Pittman)
Nance stood out as one of the most competitive and vocal leaders in the event. He battled on every possession, attacked the basket with physicality, and consistently made winning plays. His deep shooting range, high basketball IQ, and relentless motor make him an impactful two-way guard.
6’6 2027 Jaden McCandies (All Carolina)
McCandies showcased a smooth, polished offensive game. He moved effectively without the ball and was equally comfortable creating his own shot when needed. His ability to knock down catch-and-shoot jumpers at a high rate, combined with his size and versatility, makes him a very intriguing wing prospect.
6’3 2028 Noah Dulin (Team Pittman)
Dulin used his athleticism and shot-making ability to make a major impact. He finished explosively at the rim, connected consistently from the perimeter, and showed a willingness to make the extra pass.
