#2 | Donavan Freeman Donavan Freeman 6'9" | PF IMG Academy | 2024 #34 Nation FL | wing | St. John’s
At 6-foot-9, there aren’t many more threatening finishers in transition than Freeman. He’s a bouncy athlete who loves going up for lobs and creating posters.
#3 | Caleb Williams Caleb Williams 6'7" | SF Sidwell Friends | 2024 State #93 Nation MD | wing | Sidwell Friends
Williams is a smart mover off the ball and this opens up some looks for him to catch and finish in traffic. At 6-foot-7, he has also become comfortable backing down smaller opponents and converting from the block.
#4 | Drew McKenna Drew McKenna 6'7" | PF Glenelg Country | 2024 #61 Nation MD | wing | Glenelg Country
McKenna has an array of finishes in his package. He can be an explosive above-the-rim finisher, but can also mix it up with a soft touch from either hand.
#5 | Rob Dockery Rob Dockery 6'6" | SF Jackson-Reed | 2024 #128 Nation MD | wing | Jackson-Reed
Dockery is a powerhouse when he attacks the basket. He is a relentless finisher in the paint who doesn’t mind carrying passengers on his way to the rim.
#6 | Malcolm Thomas Malcolm Thomas 6'8" | PF DeMatha | 2024 State #122 Nation MD | forward | DeMatha
You can count on 1-hand the number of 360 dunks we’ve seen executed in a game. Thomas is a graceful athlete who excels at converting points in the paint.
#25 | Daouda Traore Daouda Traore 6'5" | PF Clinton Grace | 2024 State MD | wing | Grace Brethren
Traore is a bouncy two-footed leaper. He also has long arms that enable him to finish over the top of most opponents.
