2025 Malik Morris (Save Sports): The 6’6 forward is a young big man but he really showed flashes of what he can bring to the table. He possesses a strong frame and a developing game on the court, but he used his size, length and physicality well to finish strong around the basket and remain active all throughout the game on Day 1. He is a young big but one to monitor as he continues to get better and develop his overall feel.
2024 Bryson Heath (CC Elite): Heath is a high IQ type of guard that plays fundamental basketball. Whether it was spotting up in the corner behind the arc to knock down shots, using his speed to create off the dribble, or finding his teammates, Heath really brought a balanced attack to the floor for his team and makes great decisions. In Game 2 on the day, Heath was a huge threat from behind the arc, knocking down multiple threes to help lead his team.
2024 David Gray (NC Spartans): Though shots were always falling, that didn’t stop Gray from looking to be assertive and attacking. He is a strong-bodied guard that embraces contact and can finish well but he was consistent in creating off the dribble and attacking the defense, looking to get inside the paint to score or find his teammates.
2024 Isaiah Sanders (NC Rim Runners 2024): Sanders came on strong in the second half to help secure the win for his team, scoring 15 of his 17 points in the second half. He showcased his ability to not only get downhill with his burst of speed and ability to get out in transition, but he also blended it in with his outside game. Was able to create well for himself throughout.
2024 Elijah Gillespie (NC Rim Runners 2024): You couldn’t help but notice the toughness this young man played with on the court. He created well for himself and for others, embraced contact, and played with a physical nature as a guard. Really love his energy and motor on both ends of the court.
2024 Ryan Lewis (Charlotte Royals): The 6’2 guar came out strong to start the game and when you watch him, you can see that he has been working on his frame, getting stronger, and developing his feel for the game. Lewis continues to showcase his confident outside game, especially from the corners but is adding more depth to his game, creating more for himself, and finding ways to score around defenders.
2025 Javon Williams (Team Trezz): Start putting this young man’s name down to watch in the 2025 class, as the 6’4 prospect really captured some eyes with his smooth game and his ability to create/knock down tough shots. Great size, finds ways to score in a variety of ways, confident shot-maker, and is a vocal leader on the floor.
2024 Camden Edmonds (NC Spartans): Edmonds is a familiar name for many already and he continues to show how big of a threat he can be as a scorer on the floor. At 6’4, he is a long prospect that can score/operate from a variety of levels, moves well without the ball, and just has a terrific understanding of how to be an effective scorer.
2025 Nicholas Graves (NC Spartans): Graves is a younger guard that we have watched grow and develop over the last year, and you can see that he and his brother have definitely elevated their game. But Nicholas was strong in leading the charge, reading the floor well, seeing and finding his teammates, showing poise with the ball in his hands, and being an effective point guard on the floor.
2025 Derek Ross (NC Wildcats): A smaller guard on the floor, Ross really showed his ability to be assertive in getting downhill and attacking the paint. He can surprise you with his burst, allowing him to get paint touches along with his athleticism to get to the basket. Whether he was getting to the basket or getting to the line, Ross was one of the primary weapons for his team on Day 1.
2024 Connor Johnson (Team HOPE): Johnson had a strong game, as the 6’0 prospect really was strong in putting the ball on the deck, getting his defender on his hip, getting inside the paint, and finding ways to score some tough baskets.
2024 Isaiah Styron (NC Wildcats): Styron was one that captured your eyes with his intensity and willingness to never give up on the floor. He was active on the defensive end, created turnovers and pushed in transition, attacked the basket to get to the line, and made his opponents pay when they left him along from three. Was one of the primary weapons for his team and just seemed to be everywhere on the floor.
