Top Player: Kylin Higgins Kylin Higgins 6'2" | SG Ben Davis | 2026 IN
Higgins is a player that has already had a great start to the AAU season. At 6’3, he already has the length, athleticism, and upside that you want from a younger player. On ball, he is extremely shifty and is so good at taking his defender off the dribble and getting to the basket. He is a great score at all areas and is someone that has already showed massive potential. He is a guy to keep an eye on this season.
Potential Breakout Player: Gavin Petty Gavin Petty 6'5" | SG North Central | 2026 IN
With all these guys coming into this AAU season off of their freshman year, multiple players can viewed as potential breakout players. I went with Gavin Petty Gavin Petty 6'5" | SG North Central | 2026 IN here because he is a bigger shooting guard who is outstanding from shooting behind the arc. He also is sneaky athletic and has proven he can jump out of the building. He has a lot of confidence in his shot and that is the type of mentality you need during AAU season.
