Elite-100: Top Juniors

November 27th-29th I attended Ryan Silver’s Elite-100 located at the Phhacility in Phx, AZ. 

There were around 450 participants from around the country of classes from 2025-2020 looking for exposure. 

Every game was filmed by BeTheBeast. 

In this article we look at some of the top junior standouts: 

Collin Chandler Collin Chandler 6'5" | CG Farmington | 2022 State #28 Nation UT Farmington/UT

-Quickly becoming one of the top guards on the West Coast. He is a 3-level scorer who has many attributes of a future star. He is very athletic; his skill level is high and he creates his own offense. He gets to the rim, he can pull-up and rise up and throws it down easily on the break. He has shined on every big stage in this extended off season.  

Austin Nunez Austin Nunez 6'2" | PG San Antonio Wagner | 2022 State #97 Nation TX San Antonio Wagner/TX

-Always a big fan of mine when I watch him play. He is a scoring PG that has a strap. He has a great feel for the game and the lefty has a tight handle and real open court speed. He has deep 3pt range and can pull from mid. He can create his own offense off the dribble or fire away off the catch. He uses his speed to get into the lane and finishes off with floaters and layups. He is quick on the ball defensively. A little undersized but controlled, skilled and fast.    

Miles Byrd Miles Byrd 6'6" | SF Lincoln | 2022 State #174 Nation CA-N Lincoln/CA

-One of my favorite upside wings on the West Coast. He has a smooth 3pt jumper with great size and bounce. He also is a very underrated passer and can pull up with range and from mid-range. Once he quickly fills in, he will be a hot name in the West. Dad was McDonald’s AA player at Villanova. 

Alpha Chibambe Alpha Chibambe 6'4" | SF JSerra | 2022 CA-S J Serra/CA

-He proved his worth versus some of the best players at the Elite-100. Despite his size, he competes and battles with them using his speed, strength, athleticism and improving skill. His 3-ball looked way more polished than last viewing and he had some nice pull-ups off the dribble. He still grabs rebounds, blocks shots out of area and throws it down with authority. 

Ring Malith SF 6’9 AOSS Prep/CA (Pictured)  

-A wing scorer takes super long strides into the lane. He is thin but a really good passer and handle. His strides bother every team he plays against and can finish in multiple ways with good body control and has the floater. He is a catch 3pt shooter and can create his own shot. 

Takai Emerson-Hardy Takai Emerson-Hardy 6'7" | SF Vanden | 2022 State CA-N Vanden/CA

-An athletic forward whose skill looks a little better as he made more shots this viewing. He is an impressive athlete who explodes up to dunk the ball. He has a stronger frame, good length and defends multiple positions. He was hitting 3’s and made a couple pull-ups from mid this weekend showing his skills are improving.
