Patrick Screws Patrick Screws 6'6" | PF Eufaula | 2023 AL | Auburn Raptors 2023
When the 6’8 offensive lineman steps on the court, his height and bulk stand out. Once he gets on the block, agile feet put defenders in a blender. He’s tough, rebounds, and has the strength to defend in the paint.
Drew King | Chicago Lockdown 2024
King is a 6’8 big man with good short area quickness. His length allows him to block and alter shots. The 2024 prospect rebounds well and runs the floor.
Isaac Nyakundi Isaac Nyakundi 6'9" | C MacDuffie | 2024 State New E | Starks Elite 2023
Nyakundi’s stock is on the rise as he earns his first division 1 scholarship from Detroit Mercy. The 6’9 big is only a 2024 but stands out among his 17U competition thanks to his size, strength, and outside shooting. He’s a true inside out presence that you always have to account for.
Tyler Van Gorp Tyler Van Gorp 6'10" | C New Trier | 2023 State IL | Hoops4Health
How a 6’10 center with a massive wingspan and outstanding rim protection continues to go under the radar is beyond me. His mobility allows him to patrol the paint and stay within reach of any would be penetrator. He still has work to do on offense but shows range out to three, court vision, and the ability to be a rim runner.
Collin Mulholland Collin Mulholland 6'10" | C Holy Family | 2023 State MN | Minnesota Heat MacDonald
Mullholland is another big man gifted with 6’10 size and huge hands. He’s not the most mobile yet protects the paint and can finish with authority. The Canadian is a solid passer out of the post.
Kelvin Amoako | Top 1 Basketball
Amoako is a rim running 6’8 big man with eye catching length. He blocks shots, rebounds, and plays with a high motor. His size and speed made him a great roll man.
David Iweze David Iweze 6'7" | C Byron Nelson | 2024 TX | Texas Impact 2024
Iweze makes this list due to his upside and age. During the last live period, the 2024 prospect played 17U, making his mark as a double digit scorer and solid passer for his position. He’s a high upside swing with 6’7 size and a family track record of playing college ball.
