6’1 ’23 Kevon Vanderhorst (Team Curry)
It’s difficult to single out just one player from this balanced Team Curry roster, but Vanderhorst was certainly among the more productive pieces in this showing. He’s a very smart, well-rounded floor general with vision, penetration ability, and perimeter shooting. Additionally, Vanderhorst is a scrappy on-ball defender with the necessary quickness and instincts to mirror opposing ball-handlers. He’s simply a reliable two-way point guard.
6’3 ’24 DJ Boyce (Team Hope)
Despite some struggles as a team, Boyce still found ways to shine for this Team Hope group. He’s a smooth three-point shooter with the ability to attack closeouts and initiate the offense as needed. Boyce is also a steady defender and capable rebounder who understands how to work well within the framework of the team concept. His stock continues to trend upward.
6’9 ’25 Trent Steinour (Carolina Riptide)
There are a lot of appealing young big men in the state, and Steinour is certainly amongst the top prospects within North Carolina’s Class of 2025. He’s a long, wiry center with touch, mobility, defensive instincts, and three-point shooting—making him a difficult matchup for a vast majority of opposing big men. Steinour is still developing, but the appeal is quite obvious as a long-term piece.
6’10 ’23 Riley Allenspach (Team Curry)
Everyone seemed to shine during Team Curry’s showing during the first day of action, which certainly includes Allenspach. He’s a sturdy, steady big man with soft touch, post moves, and the ability to space the floor at an efficient rate from midrange or beyond the arc. Allenspach knows how to excel by simply doing the little things, whether sealing off his man, positioning himself for rebounds, or through running the floor in transition.
