7’0 ’27 Kevin Curtis (Atlanta Xpress)
Given his sheer size, length, and mobility, it would be impossible to ignore the obvious appeal of Curtis. He’s a fluid, wiry big man with legit size and a steady interior presence on both ends of the floor. Curtis is a capable finisher who knows how fill the lane, lurk for lobs, and position himself for easy drop-off opportunities. However, most of his value comes from his ability to protect the rim and alter shots at a consistent rate. Curtis towers over most opponents and displays quality timing around the basket. He’s also a quality rebounder who plays with great energy.
6’5 ’26 Bradley Floyd (Carolina Rockets)
As previously mentioned, the Carolina Rockets brought out a slew of talented pieces for this event, and Floyd stepped up at various critical moments. He’s a strong, athletic, well-rounded wing who is capable of doing everything on the court. Floyd is a useful ball-handler and terrific passer with the ability to alter his approach based on team needs. He’s more than comfortable initiating the offense or applying scoring pressure in various ways. Floyd knocks down perimeter jumpers at a quality rate, but is arguably at his best when attacking the basket and finishing above the rim or through contact. He’s a prospect more coaches should be pursuing.
5’10 ’28 AJ Morman (DWOK Elite)
Everyone should already be familiar with Morman after how undeniably impressive he’s been over the last twelve months. However, this context allowed him to shine alongside a collection of other star prospects. He dictated the action with IQ, poise, and unselfishness while actively seizing scoring opportunities whenever he desired. Morman has the ball on a string and the necessary pace to get anywhere he wants off the dribble. He possesses terrific vision and sees the floor extremely well as a playmaker. Morman is also a pesky defender with sharp instincts to contain his assignment and force turnovers at the point of attack. He’s only going to get better and better, especially as his body matures, which should be a terrifying thought for opponents.
6’2 ’26 Cohen Hyatt (Strictly Ballas)
The Strictly Ballas group provided a lot of excitement throughout the weekend, and Hyatt was a big reason why. He’s a knockdown shooter with the ability to consistently hit jumpers off the catch or bounce from multiple levels. Hyatt displayed craftiness as a creator, mixed it up well from all levels, and displayed vision as a passer. He’s comfortable with or without the ball in his hands due to his lethal spot-up ability. Hyatt plays with a massive chip on his shoulder, as evidenced by his physical defensive presence and engagement after made buckets. He certainly possesses college-level ability.
6’3 ’28 Micah Gunter (DWOK Elite)
Although the DWOK roster was loaded with several notable guards, Gunter consistently found ways to shine. He possesses an enticing physical profile with terrific size, length, and athleticism. Gunter is an intelligent, polished all-around guard who can produce from either backcourt spot and alongside any collection of teammates. He knows how to run a team and create for others as a point guard or fill it up from all levels as a scorer. Gunter is already a reliable defender and useful rebounder for his size/position. He understands how to lead by example and affect all facets of the game. Expect Gunter to have a memorable sophomore season.
