2026 Brandon Solomon (Strictly Ballas)
Solomon had a good showing overall in leading his team throughout the event. He was able to demonstrate his impact as well as assert himself as an offensive weapon. Solomon has good size to go with a strong frame, attacking strong downhill and finishing, making plays off the bounce consistently, being an effective shot-maker from multiple levels, and also grabbing our attention to make the right decisions to find others as well.
2026 Colin Lamb (Eastern Carolina Phenomz)
Lamb had a good overall showing in Raleigh, finishing the event averaging 25 points per game and really putting his full game on display. The 6’4 shows IQ, intelligence, playmaking, and scoring abilities all over the court. Lamb was able to flourish from multiple levels on the court, making plays off the dribble, knocking down jumpers comfortably, and pushing in transition well. I like how smooth he operates and his ability to create his own opportunities.
2026 Camren Reyes (Team Unshakable)
I really liked what I saw from Reyes throughout the event. A quick guard who was really able to flourish as a playmaker for himself and others. Time after time, when I watched him, he did a great job in attacking the defense off the bounce and making the right decisions to find other teammates, or flourish as a scorer, getting inside the defense. He didn’t settle and put pressure on opponents, as well as being able to knock down shots when left open.
2026 Jackson Pait (Charleston Raptors)
Pait brought a lot of balance from the point guard position for his team; great energy, IQ and decision-making, and a true shot-maker from the floor. He is a 6’2 guard that flourishes as a floor general in setting up others but can really hurt you from his ability to knock down shots with terrific range. Pait continues to get better and stronger, finding ways to mix it up offensively and impact the game in other ways.
2026 Jace Blocker (Riptide)
Blocker is one that I believe should get more attention in what he provides as well as his potential, but I also love that he can produce and flash without being the focal point all the time. Blocker is just a hard-working forward that displays touch and feel around the basket, works his tail off on the glass, and competes on both sides to battle and be physical in the paint. He takes what is given to him, finds ways to create opportunities for himself, but just makes his presence felt without being the true focal point on the court.
