6’6 ’27 Sam Naidyhorski (Team Loaded 757)
Easily among the top players on display, Naidyhorski quietly dominated as a highly skilled interior piece. He’s a big, strong-bodied post player with long arms, broad shoulders, and a very sturdy frame that he knows how to effectively use to his advantage on both ends of the floor. Naidyhorski is an excellent finisher with strength, footwork, and touch over either shoulder. He carves out space extremely well on the block and reliably scores with his back to the basket, but can also operate from midrange or space the floor from beyond the arc. Naidyhorski is also a terrific passer, especially for his size, and displays impressive feel with the ball in his hands. Add in his physical rebounding presence, and his appeal should be clear to next-level programs.
6’3 ’27 Ian Allen (Tennessee Tigers)
Although there were several intriguing pieces within the Tennessee Tigers roster, Allen consistently stood out through his blend of size, versatility, and physicality. He possesses an incredibly strong frame with the length, motor, and athleticism to naturally cause matchup problems for opponents. Allen gets downhill with ease, absorbs contact, and applies consistent pressure as a finisher around the basket. However, he’s more than capable of hitting jumpers from midrange or beyond the arc. Allen is a willing passer who makes smart decisions with the ball. In addition to his overwhelming offensive game, he stands out as a rugged, switchable defender and quality rebounder with the ability to play much bigger than his size.
5’11 ’27 Kalou Fofana (Tennessee Travelers)
Anyone who watched the Tennessee Travelers should be able to identify the valuable two-way leadership that Fofana brings to this group. He’s a complete floor general whose all-around identity allows him to consistently impact the game on both ends of the floor. Fofanan runs the offense with sharp IQ, quickness, and terrific balance between playmaking and three-level scoring. He’s a crafty ball-handler who consistently breaks down opponents, touches the paint, and locates open teammates or finishes effectively with either hand. Fofana knocks down perimeter jumpers, both off the catch and bounce, and embraces being a leader in big moments. On the other end, he’s an absolute pest whose instincts and nonstop energy allow him to reliably contain opposing guards and force turnovers at a strong rate.
6’3 ’27 Cash Hall (PSB Barnes)
Like usual, the PSB Barnes roster has a ton of next-level pieces that shine within this balanced team structure, and that certainly includes Hall. Widely known for his three-point shooting ability, he does a lot of things for this group. He’s a useful creator, both for himself and others, who knows how to initiate the offense, generate shots for others, or apply scoring pressure as an on or off-ball threat. Hall displayed IQ, craftiness, and mixed it up as a scorer from all levels while still finding his usual amount of success as a spot-up threat from beyond the arc. He also offers a solid defensive presence and the ability to rebound his position.
