6’0 ’26 Johnston Abrams (Stars Gold)
Reliable point guard play is so important, especially at the high school level, and it feels like Abrams is someone who should start receiving more attention from college coaches. He’s somewhat unassuming as a smaller guard, but he makes a visible impact on the court. Abrams is a smart, heady guard who knows how to run the team or play without the ball. He’s very quick and crafty with excellent balance between scoring and playmaking. Abrams breaks down opposing guards well to touch the paint and set up others or finish. He has the ball on a string and sees the floor very well as a passer. Add in his peskiness and high activity level on defense, and it’s easy to see the value he brings to a team.
6’7 ’26 John Slusher (Triple Threat Academy)
There are a lot of guys who continue to steadily improve, and that certainly includes Slusher. At 6-foot-7, he possesses a lot of ability on both ends of the floor. Slusher continues to make strides as an offensive piece while maintaining a consistent presence as a rebounder and interior defender. Slusher’s length and constant effort make him a tremendous threat on the glass. He runs the floor well in transition and is capable of scoring in various ways. Slusher can finish, post up, or space the floor from beyond the arc. Although he’s already quite impactful, it feels like his best basketball is still ahead.
6’3 ’26 Justin Hunter (Team Loaded 757)
The Team Loaded 757 group was arguably the top team in attendance, and Hunter is one of the many reasons why. He’s an incredibly smart, smooth floor general who knows how to reliably dictate the action with the ball in his hands. Hunter displays pace, craftiness, and terrific balance between scoring and playmaking. He’s a polished shot-creator with the ability to fill it up off the catch or bounce. Hunter applies consistent pressure as a penetrator, where he touches the paint and finishes or set up others. He’s also comfortable without the ball in his hands and knows how to apply pressure as a cutter or spot-up threat. Add in his defensive prowess, and it’s easy to see everything he brings to this group.
6’5 ’26 Justin Burrough (Team Loaded 757)
Given his status as the biggest guy on this team, Burrough consistently found ways to make his presence felt as an interior piece. Whether posting up, moving without the ball, or attacking from the wing, he applied constant pressure as a finisher. He possesses nice length and a strong body, which allows him to play through contact around the basket. Burrough displays a high motor on the glass and is capable of securing multiple rebounds within the same possession. He defends with toughness and physicality, and shows a willingness to make hustle plays whenever possible.
6’4 ’26 Ryan Roberts (Strong Center)
There are a lot of valuable pieces on this Strong Center roster, but Roberts continues to stand out as their leader and overall focal point. At 6-foot-4, he’s a terrific athlete with an enticing combination of IQ, size, skill, and leadership qualities on both ends of the floor. Roberts displays great balance as an offensive focal point. He regularly creates for others while applying strong penetrating pressure and knocking down perimeter jumpers at a quality rate. Roberts communicates well and positions himself to make plays defensively. He rebounds his position and pushes the break nicely in transition. Roberts should appeal to a variety of college coaches.
