Kyle Berndt – 6’5” / Senior / CB East / Total Skills / Wing: Berndt (pic above) first grabbed our attention at Philly HS Live and continued to impress at ZGXL grassroots events in July. He is a lights out three-point shooter with a quick trigger who excels at shooting on the move. His high basketball IQ, good passing skills and ability to compete for rebounds make Berndt an extremely versatile prospect.
Anthony Brown, Jr. Anthony Brown, Jr. 6'4" | SG Carver – Engineering and Sciences | 2024 State PA – 6’4” / Junior / Engineering & Sciences / Mt. Peasant Bulldogs / Small Forward: We first noticed Brown at the Summer Jam Fest (Manheim, PA) because of his good end-to-end speed and ability to finish in transition. Brown contributes in the half-court as well via the offensive glass. His solid basketball IQ enables him to find spaces in the paint. There his soft hands convert drop passes into buckets.
Micah Hill – 6’4” / Junior / Downingtown East / East Coast Power -Richards / Wing: With his elite athleticism, length and astounding vertical, Hill is atransition phenom who play above the cylinder. Hill’s outstanding speed allows him to frequently beat his man down the court and glide in for uncontested lay-ins or flushes. On the defensive end Hill is a force on the glass and a decent shot blocker
Robbie Johnson – 6’4” / Sophomore / St. George’s (DE) / We R1 / Wing: In July, Johnson’s physicality (200 lbs. & plays football), athleticism and efficient interior scoring captivated us. Johnson is a prospect who does extensive work on the offensive glass. He also possesses a nice bag of low post moves, so he can be a first option as well. Additionally, this lefty drains threes from all over the arc. Johnson’s breakout came down in Georgia at UAA Session III, Johnson where he notched several remarkable games.
Seaton Kukla – 6’6″ / Senior / Upper Dublin / PSB Philly-Ferrick / Small Forward: As he adds a little bulk to his frame, Kukla will be a solid stretch-4 in college. He already has the low post skills and toughness to score in the paint. His quick second jump ability enables Kukla to be a factor on the offensive glass too. He can operate in the mid-range as a shooter or dribble drive threat as well. Plus, he can step out to the arc and drain threes at a high clip. At the other end, Kukla is an effective weakside shot blocker.
