2028 Micaiah Daniel (NLPB 2028 P32)
I was highly impressed with the big man each time I watched. Standing at 6’7, Daniel brings a lot of intrigue with his touch and feel in the paint. Throughout the day, Daniel proved to be a pivotal piece offensively with his touch, showcasing a soft finish and being able to knock down mid-range shots with comfort. He also excelled in being an effective presence on the glass, creating extra opportunities, and controlling the paint defensively. He should be an anchor this season for this team.
2027 Zeke Battier (AWigg Elite)
Truly believe that this is going to be a summer when more eyes open on Battier and the potential that he has in his game. He has shown that he can be a valuable piece on the court and for a college program as he continues to develop and add to his game. At the event, he can continue to shine in his ability to stretch and pop out to knock down shots, but you can also see the improvement in his ability to attack off the bounce and finish.
2028 Tristan Williams (AWigg Elite)
Williams had a strong showing at the event, and I’m excited to see what he can show more with his game this summer. He continues to impose his game on opponents, being a strong force in being able to finish and be an effective scoring presence. A sturdy prospect that is able to post up and finish, carve out space, knock down shots, and produce in a variety of areas of the floor. He had a good showing overall at the event.
2029 Trace Dukes (AWigg Elite)
Dukes may have had the highlight play of the weekend with a massive and impressive throwdown, but he is one that brings intrigue as a rising prospect. The 6’4 prospect brings explosiveness and athleticism in being able to finish at the rim, but his overall feel and mobility along with upside has to attract your eyes. He attacks off the bounce, rebounds well, and brings versatility to the court while also having a lot of upside in his game.
2027 Jaishawn Woods (NLPB 2027 P32)
Woods is a guard that I would keep my eyes on this summer, as he has a chance to really open eyes more about his game. A true scoring guard that can fill it up, displaying speed, creativity, and scoring ability from all over. He plays with a high energy and stays assertive with his willingness to attack, scoring off the bounce as well as knocking down shots from outside. And then you add his scrappy nature on the defensive end, Woods brings a lot to the table.
2027 Malik McCotter (Team Charlotte)
Team Charlotte is back in action, and they are bringing the energy, especially with the guard play they will have. They will be looking to attack and swarm, and McCotter will be one of many to watch lead the way. McCotter has proven his confidence level in showcasing his speed and ability to create for himself, as well as having deep range in knocking down shots from the perimeter. He is a scrappy offensive weapon that will be big for this team this season.
2028 Elijah Ham (Team Charlotte)
Ham impacts the game in multiple ways, especially on the defensive end, where he creates plays with his energy and awareness. Ham rebounds well, runs the floor hard in transition, and consistently finds himself involved in key sequences, including generating stocks. His effort, toughness, and ability to make winning plays made him one of the bright spots on the court.
