2027 Micah Gordon
I’ve been so impressed with Gordon over the last few weeks, and I think it is time to seriously take notice of his game. His blend of toughness, shiftiness, creativity, playmaking, vision, and scoring is impressive, and was all on display when watching him. He has an excellent feel of how to break down defenders and score over them, as well as showing impressive athleticism. But it was also his passing and vision, his competitive nature defensively, and his overall playmaking ability with the ball in his hands that impressed.
2027 Paul Osaruyi
I’ve been high on Osaruyi for some time now, and watching him again in action, there is a lot to like about his game, along with potential. He has the frame you like, along with skillset, athleticism, and overall impact. Osaruyi showcased several athletic plays on both ends, altering shots and displaying a tremendous wingspan, as well as finishing at the rim, being able to create his own shot, and playing with a high motor on both sides of the ball. And I do believe there is more left in the tank with his game overall.
2027 King Gibson
Gibson had some strong moments when watching him on the court, flourishing in his ability to play with pace, attack off the bounce and get paint touches, find ways to finish at the rim, and also make excellent passes to set up his teammates. He played with tremendous poise and control, as well as being a strong scoring factor. King’s overall feel for the game as a 6’5 prospect is quite impressive, and he made his mark on the court on Wednesday.
2027 Moussa Kamissoko
When I watch Kamissoko, all I can ask is what he will ultimately become because there are a lot of tools that he has in his game that you have to like. He has the size, the feel, the scoring ability from all levels, and the versatility on the court to be such a tough matchup. And when I think more of how he will grow, get stronger, and develop more at the next level, Kamissoko has a chance to be a special player in the coming years.
2027 King Kendrick
A familiar face here with Phenom Hoops, Kendrick took advantage of the opportunity and really was able to shine on the court on Wednesday. He did a great job in mixing it up with his change of speed, creating and keeping defenders off-balanced, finding ways to get to his spots, pulling up with his jumper, and getting by defenders to get to the basket. Absolutely loved his energy and overall motivation on the floor in proving to be a strong point guard.
2028 Kenyon St. Louis
St. Louis was another familiar face for Phenom, as he was able to shine with his poise, control, feel, and playmaking as a point guard. St. Louis plays with such strong control, reading the defense, playing with tremendous pace, and not only showing off his touch on his floater but also his ability to get to his spots to knock down shots. When he isn’t scoring, he flourishes with his overall ability to run the offense, control the game, and find his teammates on the court.
