6’4 ’25 KJ Younger (R4A Scholars)
Arguably the most impressive performer on display, KJ Younger was basically unstoppable for R4A Scholars. He’s built like a tank, sporting a strong body with long arms and powerful athleticism. However, Younger possesses the necessary blend of IQ, skill, and versatility to cause a ton of matchup problems for opponents. On one hand, he’s able to physically outmatch the vast majority of perimeter players. On the other, Younger’s fluidity and ability to create from the perimeter makes him a difficult assignment for interior defenders. He’s a phenomenal rebounder, especially for his size, and routinely outworks others for extra possessions or second-chance opportunities. Add in his ability to defend multiple positions and operate in various roles offensively, and it’s easy to see why Younger is collecting offers.
6’1 ’26 Josiah Hill (Team Crews)
Given the success Team Crews had throughout the weekend, it would be impossible to ignore everything Josiah Hill brought to this group. He dictated the action as a primary ball-handler, got others involved, and scored the ball at an effective rate from multiple levels. Hill displayed IQ and a useful change of pace when attacking off the bounce, which regularly generated looks for himself and others. He also defended with energy and battled for extra opportunities.
6’4 ’26 Jyi Dawkins (Big Shots Elite)
After trending upward throughout the recent months, Jyi Dawkins feels increasingly likely to enjoy a breakout season. At 6-foot-4 with IQ, athleticism, and two-way versatility, he’s able to naturally create mismatches. Dawkins is a useful initiator with solid vision and ball-handling ability. He understands how to unselfishly dictate the action while getting others involved and picking his spots from all three levels. Dawkins is skilled like a perimeter player with the ability to defend several positions and rebound like an interior piece. All signs point to him having an incredibly productive high school season.
6’4 ’26 Dane Cassada (Big Shots Elite)
It probably feels like a broken record at this point, but it’s impossible to deny everything Dane Cassada brings to a team. He’s a smart, all-around guard with an incredibly reliable, balanced identity. Cassada regularly operates as the main creator, displaying terrific pace, vision, and understanding of how to consistently manipulate the defense. He scores at an efficient rate from all three levels and is comfortable with or without the ball in his hands. Cassada is a lethal spot-up threat who moves very well as a cutter and routinely burns opponents whenever they leave him open.
6’6 ’27 Andrew Rogers (434 Supreme)
Although there were numerous standouts for 434 Supreme, it’s easy to be intrigued by Andrew Rogers and his physicality as an interior cog. The two-sport athlete is able to frequently overpower opponents while asserting his presence as a rebounder and interior defender. Rogers finishes above the rim and effectively through contact. He’s able to impact a game without needing a ton of touches.
