2027 Jamarion Washington (7th Nation)
Washington was quite impressive when watching him play. Even at his size as a guard, he was excellent at being aggressive and attacking the defense, showcasing the ability to create, embrace contact, and display athleticism in his game. Time after time, he showed that he was a savvy finisher but also a playmaker for others. He uses his speed to get by defenders well and has some terrific bounce and body control in his game.
2027 Savion Stewart (TNBA South)
Stewart was a consistent presence throughout in leading his team. A smaller guard, he was one who brought toughness and a competitive nature, finding success in penetrating the defense, scoring off the bounce effectively, and also making opponents pay with his ability to knock down shots. He also constantly put pressure on his opponents with his defensive presence. A scrappy, gritty guard who impressed.
2028 Jordan Mabor (1of1 Elite)
Mabor is going to be a name worth watching over the years here in North Carolina, as he gives you a lot of early flashes of his potential. His blend of length, athleticism, and size are quite impressive, as he impacts the game on both sides of the floor. Mabor runs the floor offensively well, running from rim to rim and flourishing with his wingspan to finish at the rim. Defensively, he brings an excellent presence in altering shots and protecting the rim.
2028 Tjay Brunson (1of1 Elite)
Brunson is one that I have watched several times this summer and I continue to be impressed with his overall impact on the court. He checks off a lot of boxes early on and sees there is a lot of potential left… he has the size, versatility, athleticism, and scoring ability to be a consistent presence on the court. He moves well from multiple positions, can score inside and out, rebounds well, handles, and brings value to so many positions on the court.
2028 Makhai Manning (Garner Road National)
Manning impressed with his overall performance at the event, as he continues to thrive as a crafty and creative guard on the court. Has a great change of direction, keeps defenders guessing with his offensive game, can score in a variety of ways, and finishes well around defenders. Manning can also hurt you from the perimeter. Really like his flair and ability to be a playmaker on the court for his team.
