2027 Tyler Gee (Rising Pros)
Gee came out and kicked the event off with a bang, going for 29 points in impressive fashion to lead his team. After coming off a season in which he averaged nearly 23 points per game, Gee continued to showcase his ability to knock down shots from all levels of the floor. Constantly moving and hunting for his shot, scoring off the bounce, and playing with a big motor, Gee demonstrated his ability to be a strong offensive weapon on the court.
2028 Adrian Byakuleka (Carolina Spiders)
Byakuleka caught my eye with intrigue, especially as a 6’5 active prospect on the court. He brings length and fluidity for his team, and his overall activity on the glass quickly grabbed our attention as well as his ability to finish around the basket. He plays with a good motor overall and was able to be an impact both offensively and defensively.
2028 Cameron Pace (TGS Hooker)
Pace helped lead a balanced overall attack for TGS on Day 1. He brings length along the perimeter, as he showed the ability to not only step out and be a threat but also run the floor and finish at the basket. He can defend multiple positions with his 6’3 frame and wingspan, as he was a strong overall piece for his team throughout.
2028 Jordan Jacobson (Dub Salem)
Jacobson was a strong leader on the court for Dub Salem on Day 1, as the physical guard demonstrated well his ability to attack the defense, embrace and finish through contact, and play with tremendous overall pace. He has a quick first step and fights through defenders well, getting paint touches and being a playmaker overall.
2026 Eli Patton (East TN Hustle)
It isn’t always necessarily the offense that catches our eyes, though Patton provided that as well. However, the 6’0 guard was able to be a big difference-maker both offensively and defensively. He played with energy as a scrappy defender, displaying his ability to be a strong on-ball defender. But offensively, he consistently attacked and used his athleticism to finish well around the basket.
2027 Jacob Mills (Dub Salem)
Mills continues to flourish and develop as a guard; known for his perimeter game early on, he still is one who brings immediate danger with his range and shot-making ability. However, you can see he has added a lot of variety to his offensive game by scoring off the bounce, creating, and mixing it up inside and out. Mills has a chance again to showcase his impact on the court and as a sneaky guard in the state.
