2032 Xavier James (CP3 Elite)
We have talked about James on several occasions in the past, but it is always great to check him out again on the court, as he continues to thrive as a young prospect we believe you will be hearing about a lot more down the road. His feel, understanding, and overall skillset at his age is quite impressive, as he brings versatility inside and out, can be such an effective scoring presence, and can play multiple positions on the court. He has a great overall understanding of the game at his age, and he will only continue to develop more down the road.
2030 Zayden Ebanks (We Just Hoop)
Ebanks was a newer name for us to watch, but there was intrigue with his game. As a 6’5 prospect at a young age, Ebanks grabbed our attention with his ability to run and initiate the offense, find others well and be that playmaker with tremendous length, and also be able to create his own shot from inside and out. He was a mismatch off the bounce at his position with his size, but can just be as effective from the perimeter in stretching out the offense from behind the arc. He is a name to jot down and keep an eye on more.
2028 Jazon Reynolds (EA Prep)
Reynolds consistently applied pressure offensively throughout the event with his downhill attacking ability. He used his quickness and handle to create advantages off the dribble, finishing strong around the basket while generating offense for his team. His scoring production stood out all weekend, as he regularly stepped up as one of his team’s primary offensive threats.
2028 Makhai Manning (Garner Road National)
Manning put together a strong weekend with his ability to create and score in a variety of ways. The crafty guard showed polished handles, created space well off the dribble, and consistently generated quality looks for himself and others. Manning’s ability to score from multiple levels and operate with confidence made him a tough cover throughout the event. Manning really thrived throughout the event in leading his team.
