6’4 ’27 Aiden Horton (NC Rise)
Not enough players receive acknowledgement for approaching the game in an unselfish, team-oriented manner, which is why someone like Horton consistently stands out. Few guys can match his energy and commitment to making the right play. Horton is a useful creator who can finish, attack off the bounce, and knock down jumpers, but doesn’t necessarily need the ball to be effective. He consistently impacts the game with his presence as a defender and rebounder, and appears comfortable in various types of roles offensively. Horton is a natural glue-guy who can expand his production as needed.
6’5 ’25 Alex Pissis (Lions USS)
Although his lack of recruitment is likely due to injury, Pissis should still be an obvious priority for Division I programs. Between his skillset and physical tools, he’s able to impact the game in a variety of different ways. Pissis is a powerful athlete with size, toughness, and the ability to wreak havoc when utilizing his high motor. He’s a useful creator with the ability to make shots off the catch or bounce while setting up others at a solid rate. Though it’s confusing why he’s still available, PIssis will be a quality addition at the next level.
6’1 ’26 Owen Calvert (Dub Salem)
There are few players who are more consistent than Calvert. Regardless of context, he’s an absolute gamer whose polish, intensity, and general competitiveness make him a real problem for opponents. Calvert is an excellent three-level scorer who mixes it up at a nonstop rate from all areas. He’s comfortable taking what the defense gives him or asserting himself to create his preferred shot. Calvert is a useful piece with or without the ball in his hands. He also offers a high motor and pesky presence defensively. Calvert is a guy who simply causes issues for the opposition.
6’7 ’27 Carlos Marshall (Team CP3)
Given all the ways he impacts a game, it’s impossible to ignore what Marshall brings to this group. He’s a long, mobile big man who completely controls the glass as a rebounder. Marshall positions himself extremely well around the basket and utilizes his blend of strength, soft hands, and overall instincts to outwork opponents for extra possessions. Marshall finishes with touch around the basket and runs the floor well in transition. He’s a reliable interior defender who can consistently shuts down bigger opponents. Although he’s not flashy, Marshall is undeniably impactful.
6’6 ’27 Koen Booker (AWigg Elite)
Rounding out this group, Booker really impressed as a focal point for AWigg Elite. He highlighted a versatile game with the blend of creation skills, scoring prowess, and defensive instincts to cause problems for opponents. In addition to his scoring, Booker displayed the ability to set up others and dictate the action as needed. He’s a quality athlete with length, feel, and toughness on both ends of the floor. It’s easy to see the upside with Booker.
