5’11 ’26 Jadon Green (Papa Pete’s)
Between his individual production and team success, Green was clearly one of the top performers on display. He’s a smart, heady lead guard who excels at getting downhill and making plays as a penetrator. Green utilizes his tight handle and quick first step to consistently break down opponents off the dribble. He hit jumpers from distance, pulled up from midrange, and finished well around the basket. Green set up others at a strong rate and defended the point of attack with energy. Clearly stands out as a leader for this group.
5’10 ’26 Beckett Coon (A Dash More)
Given the overall structure of this team, Coon is required to burden a heavy offensive load. However, he’s an impressive shot-maker who manages such a high volume with a healthy variety of deep jumpers, pull-ups off the bounce, and crafty finishes around the basket. Coon heats up quickly and is capable of filling it up in a hurry. He’s a useful passer with vision and playmaking instincts, but arguably at his best as a scorer. Coon also provides a scrappy defensive presence. Expect him to have a very productive senior season.
6’1 ’26 Darius Whitner (G-Town)
After establishing three years of varsity experience, Whitner looks likely to have the most notable season of his high school career. He’s always been a smart, steady, adaptable guard who provides a reliable presence on both ends of the floor. However, it’s easy to see how he’s elevated his numbers over the years. Whitner offers quality balance between scoring and playmaking, showing the ability to consistently create for others while scoring within the flow of the offense. He’s a tough, gritty defender and nice rebounder for his size/position. Whitner should shine as a focal point this season.
6’7 ’27 Josh Conti (Oak City Buckets)
Despite some ups and downs throughout the day, it’s easy to see the general appeal of Conti. He’s a skilled post player with touch, strength, and the ability to play around the basket or space the floor. Conti carves out space very well on the block and shows the ability to finish through contact or score with finesse. He’s a capable interior defender and useful rebounder on both ends of the floor. Conti is still progressing, but certainly has a variety of appealing qualities. He’ll be one to monitor
6’0 ’27 Gui Wilkins (East Eagles)
Although they had multiple key pieces, it would be impossible to ignore everything Wilkins did to assert himself as a leader for this group. He’s a smart, well-rounded guard who knows how to run a team or play without the ball. Wilkins touches the paint, sets up others, and scores with efficiency from multiple levels. He consistently propelled this group forward with his offensive ability and pesky defensive presence at the point of attack.
