5’10 ’27 Owen Hancock (Dub Salem)
Quite possibly the best shooter in the gym, Hancock showcased what makes him such an impressive marksman. He’s phenomenal at getting to his spots, setting up early, and knocking down jumpers at a high percentage. Hancock possesses deep range, a quick release, and the ability to heat up in a hurry. He’s a terrific cutter who knows how to find open space and consistently apply pressure as a spot-up threat. Hancock can initiate the offense and attack closeouts as needed. He also defends with visible energy and toughness.
6’10 ’27 Kamari Nicholson (Team Loaded)
Given the value of size and rim-protection, someone like Nicholson should see considerable rise in his stock over the next few months. At 6-foot-10, his incredible length and timing allow him to reliably patrol the paint as a defensive anchor. Nicholson is quite mobile for his size and understands how to effectively hedge, recover, and defend in space. He plays angles really well around the basket to block or alter shots without fouling. Nicholson is a capable finisher who finds opportunities through drop-offs, offensive rebounds, and running the floor, but also displays flashes of floor-spacing ability.
6’6 ’29 Nick Cannon (Team CP3)
It’s easy to see the steady, consistent progression in Cannon’s overall identity. Not only has he physically grown in the recent months, but his game has taken a clear leap as well. Cannon highlighted an impressive all-around game featuring creation instincts, perimeter shooting, and ability off the bounce. He’s able to operate in various different roles as an offensive cog, comfortable initiating the action, playing on the wing, or moving without the ball. Cannon rebounds his position and anticipates well to force turnovers defensively. His potential is undeniably enticing.
5’10 ’28 Austin Youngs (SW15H Elite)
It doesn’t take long to recognize how valuable Youngs is for this group. He’s able to effectively control the action as the primary ball-handler and playmaker with his combination of a tight handle, high IQ, and sharp vision. Youngs displays excellent pace and consistently makes the right decision with the ball in his hands. He’s an efficient scorer and reliable three-point shooter who asserts himself as needed, but looks to set up others as much as possible. Youngs is a scrappy defender and useful rebounder for his size/position who pushes the break well in transition. Though unassuming, he stands out as a major x-factor.
6’0 ’27 Grant Jacques (Rising Pros Training)
Regardless of context or setting, Jacques is the type of guy who always seems to leave it all on the court. He stands out as a leader by example through his high IQ, nonstop motor, and blue-collar approach to the game. Jacques simply competes. He fights for every rebound, loose ball, and potential extra possession. While caring should be expected for all players, no one cares as much as him. In addition to his scrappy defense and willingness to do the little things, he’s also a very well-rounded player with the scoring and playmaking to shine as a focal point. Jacques is a lethal perimeter shooter who capitalizes on open spot-up chances, attacks closeouts and finishes or hits pull-ups from midrange. He makes smart decisions with the ball and sets up others whenever possible.
